We had a great time staying at Elaine’s place. The private, gated drive was a plus and the unit is super cute. It is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but very easy/fast to get to Byron Bay. It is very suitable for families with older children, with the bunk bed and shower-only.
Unfortunately, I can’t comment about the beach as it was pouring down rain for most of our visit (!), but that being said, the unit was large enough for us (2 adults, 2 kids) that we didn’t feel ‘trapped’. Netflix was a nice feature, when needed, too.
The only downside was that the wireless was slow - but not unmanageable. The outside deck area was also a nice feature - when it’s not raining it would be lovely!
