We had a great experience with Gert. His place is so tranquil and serene, set amongst lush surroundings. He has a beautiful large deck with couches to enjoy a coffee and a magazine. He is very welcoming and friendly and gave advice on where to go, which we wouldn't have known if he hadn't told us. Also New Brighton beach is a 2 minute walk away and is absolutely peaceful if you are wanting something more quiet to Byron Bay itself. Highly recommend a stay with Gert in beautiful New Brighton.
