My boyfriend and I stayed with Emma for three nights over Christmas. The location of her house was quite good as you are away from the hustle and bustle of byron in the busy period, but had a great restaurant and beach nearby. We really enjoyed relaxing on the verandah and encountered some wonderful wildlife while we were there including a koala, echidna and a friendly kookaburra. Emma was a lovely host and helpful with things to do around byron bay. The room was well equipped however we didn't really feel like it was a space you could just relax in. In the warmer weather I think an air conditioner would be good and we had a problem with ants while we were there crawling in the bed. Overall a good experience though.
