Nice and friendly little motel in the best location possible. Across the road to the beach, right next door to the pub, and adjacent the best foodie lane in Byron. Good value.

A very well located property. Quite dated though. Needed a broom in the room as sand was easily transferred into the rooms and no way of sweeping it up.

This property was really great and matched the pictures in online advertising. Very clean and fresh, very comfortable beds and had everything we needed. Very central for food and shopping and directly across the road to the beach. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!

This is a great place to stay if your holiday is all about the beach, shopping and eating great food. The rooms were very clean, tidy and comfortable. The staff were very accomodating, friendly and available. Better than some of the much more costly accomodation nearby. We'll definitely be back.
