Great location. 5 minute walk to centre of Byron. Beach front too. Huge sized rooms. New mini bar and wardrobe would be good. No extra towels or ironing board in the room. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

4 out of 5
Although the rooms are old and definitely show some wear and tear, the proximity to town, private walkway to the beach, and pool area made our stay very enjoyable and convenient. The staff were super friendly and helpful with a last-minute room change. Would definitely recommend for families with kids.
