Absolutely tranquil and highly recommended! The house is beautiful and luxurious and has everything and more you need for an enjoyable time in Byron! It was next to a forest and close to the beach! We had surfboards, bikes, games, a jacuzzi, a bbq and all necessary utilities to make food. There were all sorts of extras like different coffees, juice milk ect. which i really felt was nice and thoughtful! Thanks Elaine and John for having us and we hope to be back one-day to relive it in the same home! Truly a home away from home!
