Great location. Private access to Belongil Beach. Short walk to main street of Byron, parks, etc. Rooms are very clean, basic amenities. Staff are lovely. Great place to stay if you plan to be out and about all day or sit by the pool. Given it is a motel with cars parked just out of your room, it isn’t the place to hang and chill in your room, if that is what you are after.
