One of the best we have ever stayed in, very friendly staff and workers. Beach very close to cabins, restaurant very good but a little over the top for our simple tastes. Found the Sun Bistro/hotel 750 metres down the road more to our simple tastes especially with our 8 yo grand-daughter.

With the busy lives we lead I'd highly recommend having a break at the stunning Byron at Byron. it was one of the most relaxing holidays I have had. The staff were so friendly and happy to cater for your every need. It's s very short walk to a beautiful beach and a 5km walk to build up an appetite before a delicious dinner at the restaurant. I can't wait to go back again.

We really loved our stay here. It was our first visit to Byron and Wake Up made it such a memorable one. The location was perfect, great cafe and restaurant right next door and across the road from a beach access making this the perfect spot slightly out of town. There was a free shuttle bus that ran from early morning into the later evening that made it convenient to get in and out of town so we didn’t need to drive. After a night in town it was only a 20ish min flat walk back to the hostel if...

We had such a wonderful stay at Discovery Parks. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We received an upgrade (bonus!) and the cabin was modern, clean and extremely comfortable. We have not one negative thing to say and will stay here again when we are in Byron Bay next time.

Such a restful place to stay. Could watch the changing tides and birdlife all day long. Apart from needing a car to do shopping and go on outings (which we managed to organise thanks to family), there was nothing else we needed.

Cabin was clean and had everything you would need plus extras. Kitchen well equipped, lounge and bed very comfortable. Nice to sit outside on the veranda. Only downside was the bathroom is very small and hard to use the sink to clean teeth plus one side of the bed is against a wall. But overall a great place to stay for a few days.

Apart from children hogging the pool for hours at a time and screaming at top volume with no parental control (very offputting in terms of using the pool for me) and apart from a slow draining basin and a sticky front door lock, everything else was perfect. Lovely people, welcoming, helpful and all you need provided for you in a motel.see abive
