The Supervisor Tanya was excellent very helpful & kind , there are two waterfall parks not far away in the beautiful hinterland, also it’s an easy walk to the beach through a short 2 min bush walk from back of property & a close 5 min walk to shops & plenty of eating places. Byron is a very relaxing holiday especially staying at a great motel

This was described as a fair motel and that's what we got. We needed somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep and that's what we got. Check in was good, we were given good information. It's not a place where you cook unless on the BBQ, but that's fine with us. Easy access to the beach. Easy walk into town. Internet connection was iffy, a bit of frustration. No plug for the sink. But it was fine.

The motel is pretty dated but the location is amazing. And the room was so clean I couldnt complain about the motel looking like something out of the 80s. The pool is nice and warm. The internet was fast. Very easy walk to town and there's beach access behind the property. Air conditioning works really well too. My back despised the mattresses-I tried all 3 in the room, but if you have a good, healthy back, you'll probably survive...

Nightmare Check-In:
​
​No Staff: There was absolutely no check-in staff available after 5:00 PM.
​Security Risk: The key was supposedly left \"under the mat,\" but it had already been taken by someone else. This is a major safety concern.
​Zero Support: There is no phone or chat support available at night. I was left stranded until they finally responded the next morning.
​Suggestion for Management:
Stop leaving keys under mats. At the very least, you should use a secure lockbox with a code.

Great location

This hotel offers great location. 100m to great beach and a 2 minute walk in to Main Street all with the convenience of onsite parking. Room was a good size with all the normal appliances expected. On site pool was nice with bbq if required. I really liked the look of the outside of the hotel which was of a manor style. Would highly recommend this property.

Great location but dated room

On the positive side this motel was in an excellent location - direct access to the beach and a 3 minute stroll into town.

However the room itself was extremely dated and clearly in need of some refurbishment. If you’re planning to spend most of your time out of the room then this might be an option but otherwise I’d look elsewhere

There was plenty of free parking in car park. Reception is available 8:30-5 only. The sliding door to room was very difficult to figure out how to lock and unlock. It would be very easy to break into the rooms. There was a small pool and a bbq on property I like the path to the beach from the back of property. The room had kettle, microwave, and fridge. The room was large. Ours had a queen and a bunk bed. TV had a variety of channels. Room was very quiet. You can walk to town in less than 10 minutes. The carpet was worn in the room. The room had a damp smell to it .

First impressions when entering the complex was that it would be very quaint based on the exterior of the vuildings

Accommodation was however only ok, it has seen better days and would benefit from an upgrade.
There were aspects where better finishing would have been good e.g. the air conditioner had clearly been replaced but there were holes in the brickwork where the previous appliance had been positioned. Plastic rubbish bags had been stuffed into other gaps in the walls elsewhere in the room.
The room itself was very spacious however the kitchen area worktop was very confined. Unlike other rooms which had a sink unit, this room did not as it was designed for a disabled person. As such the bathroom was very spacious but in terms of the tiling it had seen better days. As I did not have a sink I had to use the bathroom washbasin to wash up crockery etc.
Service was attentive though. Whenever I was outside in the courtyard, I was asked by the staff if there was anything I needed. The staff were very friendly too
Perfect location. Close to the centre of Byron.

Great location. Private access to Belongil Beach. Short walk to main street of Byron, parks, etc. Rooms are very clean, basic amenities. Staff are lovely.

Great place to stay if you plan to be out and about all day or sit by the pool. Given it is a motel with cars parked just out of your room, it isn’t the place to hang and chill in your room, if that is what you are after.

Average place needs TLC. On site parking, main road so care needs to be taken entering and exiting driveway. Walk to beach was ok, but cross railway tracks can incur fine $1K. Only scenery train runs.
