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.

Quick Trip for a Wedding
Great location. Easy walk to town and beach. Our family of 4 adults stayed in the family suit for 2 nights and suited us just fine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It rained on the day of the wedding and they even had umbrellas for us to borrow. Would definitely recommend this property.

Really handy spot in Byron but needs a refurb.
The motel is in an ideal spot, on the way into Byron from the north, a few minutes walk from town and it backs on to the beach. If only it had been refurbished! It is very dated with chipped paintwork and dingy decor. The darkness in the room wasn’t helped by the bunk beds up against the window. We didn’t need them and hadn’t asked for them! However, the handiness of the motel and the extreme helpful and friendly staff did ease the disappointment of the room.

We had forgotten our power converter at our last stop. Ellen (I think) offered us a 220v phone charger for free. Apparently it is the most common forgotten item in their rooms. She had a box full of them. Well above and beyond, thank you.
