We had the treat of staying in both the loft and villa during our honeymoon, and can safely say it was one of the most luxurious weeks we've ever had.
Upon arriving at the loft we were pleased to see how it lived up to the expectations we had built up based on the photos and description online. Perfect for two people, it was comfortable, modern and well-resourced with all the mod-cons you could wish for. Being overlooked by Jo-Anne's beautiful artwork was very special. Jo-Anne's son, Jono, checked us in and could not have been more lovely or accommodating. He represented everything that we love about staying in Airbnb accommodation, by providing us with local knowledge and instantaneously making us feel like we were staying in the home of a friend. The first night we spent there was so comfortable, and waking up overlooking the beautiful greenery of the garden was lovely.
Due to the completion of some construction taking place next door to the loft, Jono asked if we would mind moving across to their three bedroom Balinese-style villa with a pool. He was so pleased to be able to offer us this upgrade, and we were more than happy to accept! He encouraged us to have guests over to enjoy the space, and we were able to have family and friends with children over to properly make use of the heated pool and feed the fish in the ponds. The villa was again kitted out with everything you could need, and the walls were adorned with more of Jo-Anne's stunning artwork. The bed could not have been more comfortable, and we reluctantly left at the end of the week feeling refreshed and like we'd had a real holiday.
I could not recommend either property more for a relaxing and luxurious stay in Byron Bay. We will definitely return, and look forward to reconnecting with Jo-Anne and Jono again when we do so.
