Byron Bay

If I could live at this property, I would. It is beyond beautiful. The staff are lovely. It has everything you need and is so close to everything you need. I stayed there one night with my partner and the second night alone. The bed was incredibly comfy. It was nice to stay in a place that was not a hotel or motel. From the moment I walked in I was relaxed. I will be back as often as I can get there.

Absolutely amazing!

No fuss and had everything you neex and nice quiet position.

It is in a quiet and good neighbourhood, roughly a 15 minutes walk from CBD. As streetlights are missing in this neighbourhood it is recommended to have a torch or using your smartphone as such when coming back to the property after dark. In CBD a lot of offers for dining.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Byron Bay,Our accommodation was very well located.  Far enough from town to be quiet but close enough to walk to the beach and town.  One negative was guests leaving dirty plates on the table in the hall attracting insects and the water in the fridge was not replaced.

It was pretty, but for a long stay it would have been nice to have at least one cleaning.  Also, the bed was terrible and the bath tub did not fill up without running out of hot water.  In addition, the "jacuzzi" had several of the spouts that didn't work.

The property is poorly managed. The on-site manager does has no idea how to run a professional operation. For example, she went into my bathroom without my permission and put a post it note on the light switch telling me to turn off the light. As a paying guest that’s completely inappropriate and also an invasion of privacy. Although a 24 hour phone line is advertised for check in, and she should have been expecting me as I had advised my time of arrival, I waited an hour to check in because she didn’t answer her phone or email. When I eventually did get in to the building with the help of other guests she couldn’t have been less apologetic. I don’t feel comfortable raising my concerns with her about the property as she seems unprofessional and has so far behaved I appropriately.My bed linens were stained, the room was dusty and the air conditioner flashed and lit up the room all night. I didn’t receive so much as a change of towels in a three night stay.The “separate bathroom” is all the way on the other side of the building and I have to unlock it with a key. And it’s a dinghy dirty little bathroom. I will never stay here again and I’m extremely disappointed.

We arrived with some trepidation having booked a guest house rather than a hotel or apartment.  The manager Jamie was excellent in his communication.

We booked the smallest room but it was , in fact lovely.  The vibe is out of this world - very relaxed and great attention to detail. You approach the property which is hidden behind a blanket of foliage a small unassuming path leads you to  a small set of steps that elevate you to the most welcoming veranda set out on two aspects of the property. The rooms are set off either side of the long hallway. 

The attention to detail is displayed in the most simple, but impactive ways! Each room has fresh milk within the hallway fridge clearly labelled within a custom room jar. Fresh water, extra cutlery, crockery and extras (such as forgettable items, toothpaste etc) are all set out in the hallway. 

The noise was an issue for me.  You could really hear people walking outside your room and the next door bathroom very clearly. Obviously the way the rooms have been divided in this property some bathrooms back on to bedrooms and as such water hammer can be heard when other people use showers etc, Much more than in other places we have stayed.

We had an issue with no hot water on the first morning, and no milk being provided the second morning but Jamie resolved these issues quickly. Jamie is exceptionally attentive and is obviously the reason why this beautiful house continues to create wonderful memories for so many. 

Overall we highly recommend this place.

Great place bit noisy!

We stayed in room number 2 (Can't remember name) for two nights. Lovely room with a comfy bed, modern bathroom and top of the range walk in shower.
Plenty of information provided in the room about things to do in Byron. Guesthouse is about a 10 minute walk from the main street which is great as it's super quiet.
Other reviews say the walls are thin so it's noisy, this did not disturb us at all and wasn't particularly bad.

Great Place to stay when visiting Byron.

Beautifully refurbished property, providing a tranquil stay away from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street!

A lovingly restored guesthouse with an equally accommodating host! Rooney was only too happy to take feedback and give suggestions for must-sees in town. I stayed in the newly-updated Queen Azul room complete with spa bath and bay window. The room had all the necessary amenities and provided a wonderful space to return to at the end of the day. Most guests are respectful of the thin walls and kept to themselves/the noise level down at night. It was also lovely to sit on the communal verandah and read in the afternoon sunshine.
* Just a side note: it is 15-20 mins to the main drag and a walk in the dark at night time, or a short Uber ride!
