Gary was a very accommodating host! We rented the front bedroom with small ensuite bathroom and private entrance. There is no A/C but the ceiling fan and cool breezes from the spring air was a nice temp. The kitchen had numerous amenities and was shared by the other renters as well. The living room was cozy but we only used it for reading in the evenings. The side porch was a lovely place to enjoy breakfast or coffee. The front patio was also a favorite spot for us to relax. The location was about a 15-min walk to the main hub of town. Nice quiet neighborhood and peaceful at night. All we heard were the birds singing! We borrowed Gary's beach chairs so our time at the beach was much more enjoyable! Easy walk to several beaches. Short drive or longer walk to the lighthouse trail which is a must do! Recommended restaurants nearby include The Green Bistro, O'Sushi, St Elmo and Fish Monger. Overall this was a great choice if you want to enjoy the Byron Bay scene without staying in the noisy and touristy part of this town. FYI- no hair dryer.
