"The best location in Byron Bay- the shops and restaurants of the town centre literally start next door. Yet, it was still quiet at night.
The room was nothing fancy, but had everything we needed. If you're looking for a great location and good value for money, then I highly recommend."

Very spacious balcony
Central location within easy walking distance of local shops, restaurant and beach.
All in all a very satisfactory stay"

After a night in town it was only a 20ish min flat walk back to the hostel if...

Pool looked inviting but was not utilised by us. Rooms were clean, there would be some advantage of a little bar fridge in each room which would make things a little easier. Overall though bedding was clean and confortable, bathrooms were very clean and the staff were very approachable and able to assist with all enquiries.
