Shady Palms is a real gem. Mili and Dan are exceptional hosts: friendly, generous, and quick to respond to messages. The room itself is gorgeous: it's beautifully decorated (I'm in love with the rugs, pillows, shower, tiles, everything really...), comfortable (you'll be googling where you can buy the pillows and body wash), and immaculately clean. The room looks onto a sub-tropical garden with a beaut mango tree (you'll be humming Angus and Julia Stone for days). It's very private too and has its own verandah, clothesline, and outdoor shower. It's also in a more private patch of suburban Byron - close enough to stroll into town, but away from the hustle and bustle of Jonson Street. It's close to Clarkes Beach (my fav stretch of the coastline) and The Top Shop cafe (where you can find a good feed for breaky, second breakfast, elevenses... you'll develop a Hobbit-like eating habit after trying their salads and burgers). If you're a light sleeper, you can occasionally hear Alan the Very Cute Groodle in the room above (but that's unavoidable in a multi-storey dwelling). All in all, Shady Palms is the best place I've stayed at in Byron and the list is quite long! I really recommend you click the "reserve button" to the right - you won't be disappointed. As I said, it's a real gem! Thanks again Mili, Dan and Alan!
