Great location away from the hustle & bustle

Amaroo was the perfect beachside accommodation for our week in Byron Bay. The villa had everything you could possibly need to make our stay enjoyable. Being able to hear the waves at night was a big tick! The one very small negative was that the lounge seating was quite uncomfortable. We would definitely stay at Amaroo again. Thank you Lorna.

Over Priced

For the money could have stayed in town even a bit cheaper. Bed was like sleeping in a hammock. Not even a coffee pod machine. Bathroom and only toilet were down stairs from the only bedroom up stairs. No a/c in the bedroom and the ceiling fan noisy clearly needed maintenance. Well over priced for its 6.8kms from town you will need a car !!!!

Piece of Paradise

We stayed at Amaroo for 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Everything you need, steps from the beach, quiet, relaxing and situated close to the action of you desire it. Idyllic setting on Tallow beach, ideal for walks and beach days. Conveniently located close to groceries, beverages, coffee-anything you need. Loved our stay and would love to come back. Comfy space, a true home away from home. Thank you Lorna.

A little bit of paradise

This property is wonderful. It is a quiet and comfortable retreat, just steps from the beach. If you want excitement, it is a short drive (or bus ride) to Byron Bay. The host has thought of everything you will need, both big and small items. If I could give it 6 out of 5 stars I would!

Best place to stay in Byron/Suffolk

I have lost count how many times my partner and I have stayed at Lorna and David’s place. We love staying here so much it feels like our second home. You will not find a nicer place to stay in Byron/Suffolk this close to the beach and all amenities you need. With superb hospitality and peacefulness it really has that retreat feel. We will be back soon thank you Lorna and David for being the most amazing hosts!
