Loved this motel. It was great. It was very close to the main town, and we were able to park our car outside our room and walk into the town. Byron Bay is fab. The staff at the hotel were amazing, really helpful and very responsive. We arrived late which they accommodated brilliantly. I would definitely recommend this motel.

The Supervisor Tanya was excellent very helpful & kind , there are two waterfall parks not far away in the beautiful hinterland, also it’s an easy walk to the beach through a short 2 min bush walk from back of property & a close 5 min walk to shops & plenty of eating places.

Will always look for this place when coming back to Byron! Spacious, clean, comfortable room. Feels exactly how I want a beach motel to feel - plus it has a pool and direct access to the beach via a private path. Seriously everything I want and look for
