Unfortunately this place is not as appealing as the photos. Probably the pool area is it the most attractive quality. We booked for 5 nights and only stayed for 2. It was a horrible start to our first time in Byron Bay.
Where you park your car is quite a walk to your room. And then you quickly discover that the room is sub standard. It’s more of a shanty / bungalow under a house. There is a mildew smell happening from the kitchenette which is right next to the bed and it makes you cough at night (and we are healthy people!) the worst thing was that it was raining heavily and the rain came in in a few places; the worst a leaking ceiling with water dripping on my chest to wake me at 3am. Eeek!
We then had to pull the bed to the kitchenette side of the room so the bed wouldn’t continue to get wet and to try and salvage some sleep.
Also the way they have designed the bathroom is poor, you can tell it’s DIY. It looks inviting enough enough aesthetically but practicality is another story. For example when you turn the faucet on, it hits the basin and then spills out onto the floor, so allot of things in your bathroom get wet. Plus there was no place to hang wet towels, we used the mirror to hang from the corner and also the back of a chair.
Oh, and the floor is uneven. This is a big one. You have to watch your step carefully when walking around otherwise you could easily trip (and we are young people) it’s a slate floor, some and it’s not level! Don’t come here if you’re not fit and healthy. I wouldn’t recommend my parents or anyone getting on in years to stay here.
Plus there was no usable internet (perhaps because of the rain ).
It’s a dark and pokey space with no veranda, which I’m sure is quite fine if it’s not raining.
Thankfully we were able to get some money back on the remaining nights, and then we were happy with the rest of our trip someplace else.
I also think, in Byron, you get what you pay for, you probably need to spend at least $300 a night to get some where that is decent and comfort enough so that you can relax, wake up feeling rested and refreshed.
Umm yeah no, won’t be back at this place, ever. Which is shame, it has potential.
