Our stay at Marion's home was lovely - though shared with a few other travelers, we rarely heard or saw them, since each group of travelers had a private room with a key. We felt secure and comfortable the whole time we were there. The location is perfect; it is a quick 15 min walk to the center of town/beaches, and also a fantastic walk to the lighthouse, if you're into walking/hikes. Though our stay was quite short, Marion was extremely kind when we met her and a great, active communicator before we arrived. The room was perfect for our stay, had AC and even beach towels for us! All in all, a great stay and would stay again if we came back to Byron Bay. Wonderful value!
