The right mix of everything. We wanted to be close enough to Byron Bay for Bluesfest (easy 20-25 min drive) and the location is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood that you can walk out to Seven Mile Beach in 7 mins or so, as well as other shops and restaurants (recommended: Williams St Kitchen). The place is spacious for 2 people, including an outdoor area you can chill at. You can tell Vicki and Tim designed this place to be liveable like a home, so things like a tap outside to wash off the sand, and dog towels and beach towels if need be, were a bonus. The thoughtful surprises were in the snacks and groceries that were provided; you know, the kind that you’d always make a trip out to the grocer to get snacks, cereal, milk etc. Space was clean - something we never take for granted as photos can be misleading; minimally stylish and very neat, and at the end of a long day it felt just like coming back home. Responses were also fast. Thank you Vicki and Tim, we know where to stay when we’re next back.
