The room makes maximum use of the incredible sweeping 180 degree views north from Byron Bay lighthouse up the golden sweep of beach past Byron, Belongil, Brunswick Heads and all the way to Tweed Heads, with the misty and mysterious volcanic peaks behind Mullumbimby behind them.
From sunrise to long after sunset the major impact of staying here is the extraordinary view and how the uncluttered, sparse rectangles of room and balcony open out into it.
The room is tastefully furnished in muted tones and quality materials, with a comfortable king size bed. We used only the ceiling fan and kept the sliding doors open day and night to enjoy the cool breezes climbing the slopes below.
We had very few insect visitors except for our last night when we drew them outside again by turning on the balcony lights. We didn’t use the aircon but you have that option too, if you wish.
The big, wide bath was capable of comfortably accomodating both of us and it is ideally positioned to take in more of those glorious views while you soak.
The room was very quiet with hardly any noise from other guests and very private - it was kilometres to the nearest buildings from our balcony.
The owners were friendly, responsive and helpful and respected our privacy.
But at the end of the day, this property is all about the views. We compared it with some of the most exceptional views we’d enjoyed in countries around the world and this may have been the finest of all - certainly in the top three.
