Firstly the photos do not do justice... This place was BIGGER than expected! I think Alkira means "big sky" in aboriginal and we definitely had beautiful sunny bright sky and the last day a big welcome shower. We had such a lovely stay at Alkira. Situated in the peaceful Suffolk Park, it is a lovely retreat to escape the busy new year Byron crowd. It is a beautiful space with many thoughtful bits and pieces in just the right spaces. Lovely artwork too, I especially loved the David Gulpili piece upstairs. Easy access to the dog beaches and even though we had our own dog bowl and accessories we acknowledge the fact that there was these available in the laundry. There was plenty of reading material etc and info regarding local details. Check in was super easy too! Thanks for having us! Jana and family. - sorry we didn't have a pen to leave a note in the guest book, you're welcome to add this :-)
