Emma's place was very nice. She was very responsive to messages and had a lot of knowledge to offer as far as what to do, what to see, and where to eat. Everything was clean and tidy. The room seems to be a converted garage. The bathroom and shower are separate from the room located in the house- but there is a curtain for separation privacy. You will need a car- Byron Bay is a driving town (to us, anyways). There is free parking all around her house. We did not use the kitchenette at all, but everything seemed functional and very clean.
