We spent a week at Claire's place and loved it. A very short walk from a quiet part of the beach, a 30 min walk or 5 min drive into the centre of Byron and 15 min walk from the Byron Bay Grocer for your morning coffee/breakfast.
The room is big and light with a private balcony to sit and read / watch the birds. Also means if you're looking for a relaxing week, as we were, you can happily spend most of the day sitting here. I was a big fan of the big windows that look out onto the trees and have a big fly screen across meaning you can enjoy fresh air all day without the bugs.
The large room has everything you'd need - kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge, plenty of towels, very comfy bed. Check in was a breeze with the lock box and plenty of free on-road parking.
Claire was an excellent host - giving us all the 'local' advice (we've been to Byron several times so was great to pick up some new hot tips to try) and was warm and attentive without being intrusive. We'll definitely be back when we're next in Byron.
