“What strikes me is the location, so near the main strip, yet seemingly removed from the bustle, also the private beach access is a considerable advantage. The rooms, while straightforward, provide ample space and practical amenities, and the staff's attentiveness stood out in the feedback I read. For travellers seeking an unpretentious base to explore Byron Bay, it's certainly worth considering.”
