Jim’s place is super close to the beach - literally a 30 meter walk away from it. You can hear the surf from inside the apartment - it’s a lovely sound to fall asleep to. The apartment is big for a studio with a good sized bathroom (with Spa) and a nook kitchen. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils and pots and pans.
There’s a good sized balcony with a table + 4 chairs and 2 arm chairs - a great place to eat or chill out and read a book. There’s a good sized BBQ on the balcony as well.
Suffolk park is a quiet little hamlet that is far enough away from Byron so that you don’t get the crowds but close enough so it only takes 5 mins to drive there. There is an excellent bakery, a couple of options for dine in and take away and of course the local pub (the Park) - all good options.
The beach is a 6.5 km long stretch of clean white sand with sections that are dog friendly and a couple of good surf breaks. When we visited it was easy to find a section that was deserted.
We had some hiccups during the visit due to local Telstra work - Jim was responsive and did his best to resolve these issues. They were minor issues and resolved quickly. Thanks to Jim for his fast responses and friendly manner.
