I travelled to Byron with my Boyfriend and stayed at Happy Bay Studios for 4 nights. This Airbnb is a very cute, stylish and quaint spot to stay whilst in Byron.
Firstly, the Host, Stephanie, is so lovely and very friendly; she greeted us on arrival and walked us through the Airbnb telling us everything we needed to know.
Secondly, the place itself is very well decorated and VERY clean which is a huge plus in our books. It’s down the road from the cute Top Shop cafe and a short drive to the lighthouse and beach. Although the walk is about 10 minutes into town, in hot weather or pouring rain the walk can feel a little longer so we drove majority of the time and it took us approx. 3 minutes to get into the heart of Byron.
The only couple of negatives we would review on for other guests is that wifi is limited and they ask not to stream on it, so make sure you have your own data if you wish to stay in (or a forced due to thunderstorms) and watch some Netflix or stream other movies. In saying this, Foxtel is provided (but sometimes none of the movies tickle your fancy).
And lastly, we felt that privacy was very limited given that the Airbnb is part of the main house (maybe a second lounge or bedroom converted into its own space). Therefore, the thin wooden door(s) separating the Airbnb from the house’s main entrance is not very good at keeping out noise or keeping noise in (and not big party noises but simple noises like shaking umbrellas or walking up stairs). Additionally, majority of the walls are glass doors/windows and so without bringing down the blinds you can potentially be seen in your bra and underwear by neighbours taking out their laundry or by the hosts if they choose to walk out to their lawn for whatever reason.
Overall, our stay was very pleasant and we appreciated all of the little touches provided, like the coffee, tea, milk, muesli, beach towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash!! Thank you :)
