TL; DR
The accomodation was beautiful, is reasonably well-located, and we had a pleasant stay. However, communicating with the host regarding border restrictions prior to our stay was unpleasant.
The accomodation was a separate building behind a house in a pleasant and relaxed neighbourhood about 10 minutes from Tallow beach. The building featured much hardwood and was beautifully decorated with a mixture of pacific and south asian themes, and contained pleasant finer details such as stylish and matching appliances in the kitchenette, a decorated four post bed, and a skylight immediately above the shower. Additionally, the host provided several comforts which added, including coffee and milk, that added to the comfort of the stay. From the pictures and the description of the accomodation we experienced the stay we were expecting in Byron bay, which was a pleasant one.
The only detraction of the entire experience occurred whilst we were communicating with the host prior to our stay. The root cause was a COVID outbreak and the uncertainty related to travelling to that State, which led to us wanting to cancel the booking with about one week’s notice. Acknowledging this was neither the host’s nor the platform’s policy, some of the resulting communications from the host prior to our stay were unnecessarily unpleasant.
