Very clean and safe. Chick's home is three blocks from the main road and walking distance into the village center. It's also close to Woolworth's, which carries almost everything a person could need. As other reviewers have mentioned, Chick makes a yummy assortment of breakfast goodies available that extends well beyond anything that I've experienced at other lodgings (fruit, Greek yogurt, multi-grain bread, cereal, milk, fresh-baked brownies, coffee/tea, etc). Excellent WiFi. The only drawback was that my bedroom got quite hot during the day, even with the blinds drawn and the fan on to circulate air. Sidebar: If visiting Byron Bay lighthouse, I encourage you to Uber. While it's technically possible to walk there from Chick's, it's a very long, steep hike with a bazillion stairs at the end. I've walked countless miles in Europe, yet this trek still took me four hours round-trip. Also, if your budget allows, the sunrise hot-air balloon ride with Byron Bay Ballooning is such a memorable experience -- I recommend it. If you don't have transportation, they'll even pick up /drop off at Chick's place for no additional fee.
