Best location if you’re wanting to stay in the centre of Byron with walking distance to all cafes, restaurant, beach etc. the 2 bedroom room was clean and tidy, beds comfortable, aircon crisp, included kitchenette with fridge and sink, lounge and desk area with parking for your car directly in front of the unit. My only recommendation is including a sign on the bathroom soap to explain you had to squeeze it to dispense, it took us a while to figure it out and concerned people will break the dispenser if you can’t figure it out too.

Clean room. Great space for 2 bedroom bungalow. TV to small for the large space. Building looks feels dated.
