Great location near Byron Bay. The motel was clean and the beds were comfortable, but the room was showing its age.

This was my second time staying at the motel, it’s in a great location, walking distance to everything and has direct access to the beach. Beds are comfortable and it includes all needed amenities.
I would recommend an after hours line be available to guests as the smoke alarm in my room unfortunately went off

Excellent location. The units definitely need some reno attention with missing tiles at the entry and the shower lining silicone peeling. However, we had a great stay and would stay again.

Quick Trip for a Wedding
Great location. Easy walk to town and beach. Our family of 4 adults stayed in the family suit for 2 nights and suited us just fine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It rained on the day of the wedding and they even had umbrellas for us to borrow. Would definitely recommend this property.
