Great location

This hotel offers great location. 100m to great beach and a 2 minute walk in to Main Street all with the convenience of onsite parking. Room was a good size with all the normal appliances expected. On site pool was nice with bbq if required. I really liked the look of the outside of the hotel which was of a manor style. Would highly recommend this property.

Colleen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Close to shops

8/10 Very good

Small old school drive up to room motel. It suited our needs as we really only needed a bed at night. We were out during the days and dinner times. Budget property, close to main shopping, walking distance to most amenities, beach & shops.
Sandra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location. The units definitely need some reno attention with missing tiles at the entry and the shower lining silicone peeling. However, we had a great stay and would stay again.

Quick Trip for a Wedding

Great location. Easy walk to town and beach. Our family of 4 adults stayed in the family suit for 2 nights and suited us just fine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It rained on the day of the wedding and they even had umbrellas for us to borrow. Would definitely recommend this property.
Kerrie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Access to the beach from behind the property
Raechelle, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy walk to town. Straight out the back gate to the beach. Spacious room with toaster and microwave. Impressed that they had security screens in the windows so you could safely have windows open at night rather than running the airconditioning.
Roger, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. 5 minute walk to centre of Byron. Beach front too. Huge sized rooms. New mini bar and wardrobe would be good. No extra towels or ironing board in the room. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
Louise, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

For a motel it was a quite good hotel, but it didn’t look super clean and most of it looked already very used. For one night I guess it is ok but I wouldn’t stay longer there. Nethertheless, the reception staff was very friendly and check in was very uncomplicated.
Alicia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
