We arrived in Byron bay midweek having not booked anything. Bay motel was the first place we kind of walked past and the manager offered to show us the room before we paid. Well, the room was clearly newly renovated, so clean and just perfect for our little family of 3 including toddler in a portacot! Opposite the beach with... More

Nancy and Greg were very friendly hosts. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable and our hosts were more than happy to help us out with wi-fi, and restaurant recommendations. We requested a late check out so that we could do a snorkelling tour and that was no trouble to them at all. Would stay... More

We were greeted by manager when we arrived with a rude "about time" at 9.00 pm, even though I had rung earlier and told them that there is a chance we might be late due to traffic more than once. The owners seem to have a problem that there was a mixture of male and female friends though the number... More

A bit expensive but it is Byron Bay. You can walk to the beach and also right in town. Quiet considering where you are and good parking. Not to many young people staying which helped. recommend if you must stay in Byron Bay. Don't recommend Byron Bay though

Thank you for your kind words, we are extremely proud of our newly renovated rooms. At some stage we will renovate the exterior but until then we will still have the old school motel look. Hope to see you again soon. More

We stayed here overnight with our son. When I booked, because of the price and location, I really wasn't expecting too much but figured it was just for one night and we wanted to be able to walk to dinner/breakfast/beach.

It matched expectations. Great location across the road from the beach and close to everything. Rooms were clean but a little like stepping back to the 60's - but hay we weren't expecting anything different. The managers were terrific both over the phone and when we arrived. Very friendly and helpful.
