My partner and i have visited Byron Bay over 15 times in the last 12 or so years, each location has had varying distances to the town centre, beach and other hotspots. We have found paddy's to be the best experience in accommodation thus far.
Our accommodation was as close to being a house as we can afford, away from the crowds for a more personal/local Byron experience, refreshing short walking track along the wetland into town, quick stroll over the road and dunes to the beach for a surf, it's also setback away from the busy streets and noisy backpackers. The room was clean nicely furnished with a very comfortable atmosphere, it felt like a retreat in some ways including the garden.
Paddy was a great host, a real gentlemen, i would definitely stay here again on my next visit.
Thanks again.
Anthony
