The Sebel Byron Bay

10/10 Excellent
"This was our second stay at the Sebel. We booked a one bedroom unit to have a little more space. It was spacious and had everything a full unit would. Parking was free and ample. The location is as good as it gets for the price and you're spoilt for choice when it comes to venues for dining and drinking. It was wonderfully quiet for such a large unit complex. The weather was quite cool when we were there and it wasn't needed, but their was no aircon in the bedroom. Doors open wide and it may have been able to be felt, but if sharing with another person it may be an issue. Great choice of accommodation."
