I stayed in the Om Sunny room at Balyarta and I loved the decoration and the private terrace, it is lovely! The shared kitchen is very well equipped and clean and so is the shared bathroom! The beach is at about 15/20 min walk and there are buses that can take you to Byron Bay quite regularly (but do check the schedule as you may have to wait for a while). I loved my stay at Balyarta and definitely recommend it!
