This room was dirty. There was poo on the toilet seat. Mould in the bathroom and dust everywhere. We paid for 2 nights and only stayed for 1. We left without telling them, as we were so disappointed in this place.

First visit to Byron Bay

Average place needs TLC. On site parking, main road so care needs to be taken entering and exiting driveway. Walk to beach was ok, but cross railway tracks can incur fine $1K. Only scenery train runs.

The property is showing its age but the room was clean and functional. Staff were friendly and it was only a quick walk into town, to the beach, or to tourist spots and hikes. Good value for the money.
