Nice and friendly little motel in the best location possible. Across the road to the beach, right next door to the pub, and adjacent the best foodie lane in Byron. Good value.
The location was great. The checkin staff were great. Sleep was non existing due to surrounding noise. We checked out after one night and cut our stay short. Would not bother staying again. Very disappointed

Fantastic location! Can’t get any better- literally 60 steps to the beach!
Staff were very friendly and helpful- especially helping with car parking as we had boards and a ski on roof- they made sure we felt secure and offered alternative parking if we didn’t.
Room had a little kitchenette which was so good.
Bed was comfortable, it’s an older motel but they have updated it so feels fresh and modern.
Will definitely book again

A very well located property. Quite dated though. Needed a broom in the room as sand was easily transferred into the rooms and no way of sweeping it up.

This property was really great and matched the pictures in online advertising. Very clean and fresh, very comfortable beds and had everything we needed. Very central for food and shopping and directly across the road to the beach. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

Economical accommodations and a great location!
We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!
