One of Byron’s really good locations- nice 15 min walk down a walking path to get to town. Overall a nice house, we liked it quite a bit. Good living room space, and two nice outdoor areas to eat or have a glass of wine. Easy walk to The Pass or Wategos/Lighthouse. Aircon, fans etc made it quite comfortable. Good light, the lock up garage was very convenient for locking up a pram, bikes etc. also, a quick walk through a reserve and street to Top Shop cafe, which was fabulous.
The property backs onto another popular Airbnb property which tends to be quite noisy so we did have a couple of disrupted nights. You will probably get that in most of Byron at the moment unfortunately.
My main issues were with some of the less superficial cleaning elements. We found nail clippings and a fake fingernail under the bed which wasn’t ideal.
Also a few beach towels for guest use would be a good addition to the property.
The bigger issue related to our final day in the property. 90 mins prior to checkout the host company’s laundry service allowed themselves into the property through the garage. This was really frightening as I wasn’t expecting them, and I was in the shower with my young daughter. It was terrifying to hear someone access the property through the locked garage, when in a vulnerable position with a small child. I advised the hosts of this straight away via email (including a photo of the laundry bag left in the property), but it is now three days later and I haven’t received a response.
This was a bummer of a way to visit and otherwise nice trip. This probably could have been resolved through a basic apology.
