Went to Byron for a wedding and stayed at the Wollongbar Motel for 2 nights. A bit old and fairly basic accommodation but reasonably priced. Room was good size, clean with a large bathroom. Air cond. & ceiling fan, Fox TV. We were on the ground floor. Room was a bit dark so if the door was open, no privacy... More

It obviously has been renovated. The rooms are large and so pleasant we decided to stay another night in our trip down the coast. Perfect position, great staff and the pool was a great chill out area. Would really reccomend it.

We were pleasantly surprised by this motel which is easy walking distance from both the beach and the town center. The room was spacious, air conditionned and clean, the welcome friendly and helpful. A small private path gives you direct access to the beach so we didn't really bother testing the pool. 5 minutes from the main drag in town... More

We stayed as a group of 4 girls heading out for a birthday party, in a 2 bedroom/family style room. As with most motels you get what you pay for- its pretty old but our room was clean and quiet. Nice pool on site also. The manager responded to emails promptly and gave us a better last minute rate than... More

We stayed here while backpacking around Australia purely because it had austar tv and we wanted to watch Manchester united play. so we gathered a few united fans from the nearby hostel and split the cost of the room (180$) between 6 of us. There were only beds for 3 people. but we were backpacking so don't judge us :-).... More

The room was very clean and nice...gave us everything we needed. Please note that if you need WI-FI it works veryyyyy slow and cuts... More

We stayed here last night, 13.8.11, it was one of the only places that let you book for one night in Byron. We knew it had it's own private entry to the beach and was a few minutes walk to the town area. The man at reception was absolutely lovely, and treated us like we were checking into a hotel... More

Just returned from a relaxing weekend (overnight) at Byron Bay staying at the Wollongbar Motel in a deluxe family room (2 adults, 2 kids). Furnishings are a bit dated and well worn, but the beds were comfy, linen crisp, everything was clean and the kitchenette and bathroom were well stocked. The motel is in a great location about a minute... More

My family & I used to stay here all the time when i was younger. It was one of our favourite places to stay in Byron, with these amazing hot buffet breakfasts & short walk to the beach. ..I stayed here recently overnight to attend a wedding. They no longer have breakfast (at all) and our room wasn't ready when... More
