8/10 Very good

The property is showing its age but the room was clean and functional. Staff were friendly and it was only a quick walk into town, to the beach, or to tourist spots and hikes. Good value for the money.
Nigel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

First visit to Byron Bay

Average place needs TLC. On site parking, main road so care needs to be taken entering and exiting driveway. Walk to beach was ok, but cross railway tracks can incur fine $1K. Only scenery train runs.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

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

6/10 Good

First impressions when entering the complex was that it would be very quaint based on the exterior of the vuildings Accommodation was however only ok, it has seen better days and would benefit from an upgrade. There were aspects where better finishing would have been good e.g. the air conditioner had clearly been replaced but there were holes in the brickwork where the previous appliance had been positioned. Plastic rubbish bags had been stuffed into other gaps in the walls elsewhere in the room. The room itself was very spacious however the kitchen area worktop was very confined. Unlike other rooms which had a sink unit, this room did not as it was designed for a disabled person. As such the bathroom was very spacious but in terms of the tiling it had seen better days. As I did not have a sink I had to use the bathroom washbasin to wash up crockery etc. Service was attentive though. Whenever I was outside in the courtyard, I was asked by the staff if there was anything I needed. The staff were very friendly too Perfect location. Close to the centre of Byron.
