    Amazing location. Sea views. Close to the center. Great parking. A lot of space. Good kitchen.

    Lighting in the room not so good.

    8JoPosted on: 8-19-2025

    Great location, nothing like waking up to a view of the beach. Very quiet and good parking. Bed very comfortable. Apartment block is tired however appears well maintained.

    When we checked in the reception staff required a physical credit card or credit card number which we couldn't provide. I wasn't able to "tap" for a security bond. However the issue was resolved.

    9HelenPosted on: 6-30-2025

    Brilliant location - love the balcony with sea views!

    A little dated in bathroom and loo with paint peeling etc but clean - did not bother us

    9PHILIPPosted on: 6-26-2025

    The location is superb with great views from Belongil through to the Light House. Directly across from beach with a well maintained grass area in front, so no traffic noise. Could hear the ocean overnight. Close and far enough away from the centre of Byron. Yes, the property is a bit run down, but the positives far outweigh this. I hope the building survives any greedy developers.

    General condition internally, but absolutely not an issue

    Beach front location is amazing, you can park your car during your stay, as it’s a short stroll to the stores and restaurants. Overall great value for its location, I would book again.

    Our apartment bedroom window & screen door could do with a deep clean. Rest of was apartment clean. Great if you are traveling light, as there are a few stairs to navigate with your luggage, if you are staying on 2nd or 3rd floor.

    7JanetPosted on: 5-31-2025

    Great location- nice beach views. Apartment had everything we needed for our short stay

    Car space for unit 24 for pretty tricky to get in and out

    5AshleighPosted on: 5-26-2025

    Nice place to lay your head, budget friendly, close to beach

    Not very well maintained, leaking tap, broken door, no fan in bathroom

    5Craig J.Posted on: 5-9-2025

    The receptionist was very friendly. The apartment is right at the beach and near everything you need in town. Easy parking onsite.

    The apartment is very dated, and poor value for money. I was not expecting a plush apartment but this was below expectations. The cleaning was really not up to standard.

    8AnnePosted on: 4-29-2025

    Location. Can walk everywhere. Very central. Have stayed there many times. It’s ideal for the triathlon.

    8KariPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Great location, prompt response from staff when needed to ask about ceiling fans, had all we needed.

    8AdrianaPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Great location right on the beach and the heart of Byron Bay shops and cafes. It was clean and had what we needed

    It would benefit from an exhaust fan in the bathroom and an update to the place itself.

    8ZoePosted on: 4-22-2025

    Perfect location and great views of Byron bay. Very affordable for the location.

    Only a small complaint, There was no roof/awning on top floor veranda so couldn’t sit out there when it was raining or too hot. Lounge and chairs were pretty uncomfortable too but we didn’t spend too much time in there so it wasn’t a big deal.

    10CorindaPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Super friendly staff. Amazing location and right on the beach.

    9PhilipPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Great location, easy access to local beaches and shops. Clean and simple.

    Showing its age on the outside, looks like it’s a bit difficult to maintain.

    5KirstenPosted on: 4-18-2025

    Clean enough, great location.

    Very dated inside and out.

    6AnnettePosted on: 4-14-2025

    For someone who is not very tech savvy, the tv was very hard to program and there were no instructions. We couldn’t watch it at all on the Friday after we arrived. Aldo that the bedrooms didn’t have tv’s. There was no wardrobe in the main bedroom which was very annoying. The security screens are well overdue for a good clean which was a bit off putting when we opened it closed them. The screen in the toilet is not a security one and fell out when I was trying to close the window.

    7NeilPosted on: 4-3-2025

    Location was excellent.

    Up the stairs there was no light on the 2 nd level of quite steep stairs.
