First visit to Byron Bay
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.

Small old school drive up to room motel. It suited our needs as we really only needed a bed at night. We were out during the days and dinner times.
Budget property, close to main shopping, walking distance to most amenities, beach & shops.

Great location near Byron Bay. The motel was clean and the beds were comfortable, but the room was showing its age.

This was my second time staying at the motel, it’s in a great location, walking distance to everything and has direct access to the beach. Beds are comfortable and it includes all needed amenities.
I would recommend an after hours line be available to guests as the smoke alarm in my room unfortunately went off

Excellent location. The units definitely need some reno attention with missing tiles at the entry and the shower lining silicone peeling. However, we had a great stay and would stay again.
