This property is in an excellent location within walking distance to shops, beach and solar train. It is quiet and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed in the superior room which had two separate bedrooms with en suites and a kitchen and balcony with a table.

Location was great! The pictures of our particular suite did not match the bungalow picture when booking. Lack of minor necessities I.e. dish clothes, tea towels, dishwashing tablets, no hairdryer or ironing board. Little details let the overall accomodation down. It’s about the details!

Boutique hotel which is more like an apartment. Well located near the town centre. Although self check in, it is easy to navigate with helpful staff via SMS instructions and phone call. Highly recommended.

Excellent stay for our time in Byron Bay. Perfect accommodation if you love aesthetics and on a budget. Very comfortable price for the luxury they had to offer. I loved the concept of a house with rented out rooms, very homey. Beautiful home and spoke to the manager once we left who one was lovely and shared some insight into the infrastructure of the place. only a 5 minute walk to the beach, also. Facilities did not fail, incredible air conditioning and rooms. Absolutely loved my stay at BayHaven Lodge. If I could I would stay again :)
