Why do you go to Byron Bay? For the sunshine, the beaches, the whales and the alternative lifestyle. We got all of that and more! Jude and Michel's place is no cookie-cutter accommodation; instead it offers an authentic Byron encounter. My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful stay and much enjoyed getting to know Jude and Michel, who are only to eager to share both local knowledge and worldly adventures. If you're looking for a sugar-coated experience this won't suit you. But if you want bright, cheery and real, this is a top place to stay. Oh, and it's just a brief (flat) bike ride to local beaches and town.
