The duplex was nicely renovated and had great basics provided (including beach towels). We are not familiar with Byron Bay so discovered the nearby beach (Tallows Beach - 10 minute walk ) is unpatrolled and too dangerous for swimming. As the as said close to the beach we took this a big literal. You need to drive to swimming beaches.
We needed a hire car to get around as it’s a 35 minute walk to town but we found it easy to get Ubers when needed too.
It was hard to find a 3 bedroom place so we took this one instead of options at Suffolk Park.
