My partner and I managed to secure a fairly late notice booking at Jenny's house which was accepted straight away. She was very friendly over the messenger, responded promptly and was equally friendly in person. Several times over breakfast we had a nice chat with Jenny and I found her to be a renaissance woman with a variety of interests and things she can talk about.
The room is a cute bungalow behind the house which grants privacy and still has easy access to the bathroom and kitchen. Also the slightly out of town location (10 minutes bike ride) was perfect for us during summer because we managed to deal with the craziness of Byron Bay on our own terms. There is a lot to see in the town and the tours are cheap and worthwhile (we had the best time with the snorkelling out at Julian rocks).
Highly recommend the house and Jenny is a lovely host who we both wish all the best.
