Best Byron Bay Hotels

Nice hotel, peopre and in front of the beach. Check out super early…. Average value for money (too expensive for what it is. Maybe due to the summer period in the area). Very nice and welcoming staff. If you arrive late, the system to collect the room keys is very convenient.

We almost went overseas to a resort just prior to Christmas m, but with lack of flights, overpriced hotels at last minute & all of the drink poisoning episodes overseas, we felt this was better option! Two days in and it’s bliss. This is my 4th time here. We’ve stayed in a variety of rooms and we are right near the beach this time. The rooms are super cute. The only thing missing is a verandah here - but the bed is comfortable, we love the oversized bath and it’s very luxe like home. The restaurant is the only thing we feel lets it down- the menu could do with a revamp - as you would get bored after a week, but breakfasts are great, and the bar menu is pretty good too. The pools - particularly the adult pool is fantastic. The other pool is stunning at night. The service has been a bit average in the restaurants - waiters tend to stand around and talk to each other, but the staff are very friendly indeed. All in all, a great 4.5-5 star place for an Australian holiday, where you feel like you’ve left the country. The landscapes are stunning and I love the fact you don’t feel overcrowded. If you live nature, this is an amazing place to visit.

The hotel occupies the best location, going out is the main beach of Byron Bay, downstairs is the most famous bar in the local area, and hotel guests eat and drink 10% off. The restaurant supermarket can walk, very convenient. The hotel service is very thoughtful and welcoming, there is a handwritten welcome letter, the room is spacious and decorated in Art Deco style. The hotel provides free bicycle rental projects.

Cabin were small for the price $150 night, beds were good, air-con worked well. Good size 📺 TV. Very quiet park in terms of no noises guests during my stay,so quiet, found it strange no children here, no playground! Small pool but nice. What bother me with the cabin, was right next to toilet and shower block, so the outside lights are on the whole night and shined through the side window. For a week stayed, you would think they put me in another cabin. Didn't mention it as couldn't be bother to move after day 1. I found this park good location, short walk to shops, through the side lane of the bus port. The staff were nice and helpful if you needed anything! I found the park quiet boring and Byron wasn't the place for me, not sure what the fuss is about Byron! Beach were average and cafe very tactic looking, Woolworths centre was nice to visit. Some nice looking clothes shop! Been all around Australia, Byron would have to be my least favorite place and that's a week I won't get back 😕

It was that bad we booked into other accommodation in Byron Bay. I'm not sure I could list all that was wrong with it but here's a summary of the worst bits..... The cabins are generally old so the wooden porch is worn etc and overall the whole cabin was dirty & my youngest woke up with loads of bites on his shoulder so there was no way we were stopping anymore nights there. The shower was mouldy and the fly screen wouldn't shut properly meaning the ants and other bugs just walked in. It smelt.... we think of sick but whatever it was it was very unpleasant. It's also quite a way out of byron bay meaning you need to drive in. And to top it all off the lady that checked us in was so grumpy! We ended up booking Central Byron Bay Appartments which wasn't actually that much more but was so so so much nicer, was clean and brilliantly centrally located..... so if you're going to byron don't bother with Discovery Parks & get yourself booked into Central Byron Appartments!

This was our first holiday in more than a decade. We booked a Boutique Suite because the bathroom looked clean/fabulous and to be honest, the rate was excellent compared to other places that were charging exorbitant amounts. The resort is minutes walking distance to the beach, boutique stores, cafes, restaurants and convenience stores (there's also a Woolworths) heading away from the main centre. I would've loved to give it a better rating, however, the KS bed in the Boutique Suite we booked, was average. It was too soft and made a huge indent when my partner lay down (and he's not even fat or obese). As a result, he had a back ache that triggered a headache during our three-night stay and was counting down till departure day -- not exactly the mindset you want while on holidays. I was OK with the mattress because I have a petite frame. The newly renovated bathroom looked as it did online -- luxe and modern. However, whoever the ”genius” was who did the renovation, positioned the toilet roll holder towards the back, rather than the side, so when sitting down -- you have to turn, twist 90 degrees to grab the toilet paper! The hand towel rack is positioned where the toilet roll holder SHOULD'VE BEEN placed. There's no towel rail either and you have to rely on the flimsy retractable clothes line that sags towards the bathtub once you hang two towels. There's secure underground parking in the basement with a height limit of 2:03 metres. If you have a roof rack, forget it. It's quite a small and narrow area space and if you do have a 4WD like we do, make sure you do a wide berth turn or you'll hit the railing near the lifts (you can see it's taken a beating by previous guests who evidently had no spatial awareness). Most of the parking spaces are narrow. On our last night, the remaining spots were too narrow but thankfully, an elderly couple saw our struggle and offered to relocate their car to another space, allowing our 4WD to take up two spaces. There's no breakfast but the place offers tea/coffee and fresh fruit, which is perfect because, let's face it, when you're surrounded by cafes and restaurants, why try to compete? It's great because guests are usually on the go anyway. Check-in is quick and easy. The staff are warm and friendly. Just don't ask the young casuals, who blow their cover that they're not a local, where to find the best place for croissants/pastries. The person on duty asked their colleague (another non-local) and anyone would think I asked them where the nearest unicorn farm was located. We were given A MAP. (LOL) Would I return to Waves Resort? YES but I would upgrade to either a Deluxe or State Suite (there's also a Penthouse). Hopefully the KS beds in these rooms are better than the one we slept on.

When I booked I called and emailed about a ground floor apartment as I have mobility issues, I was promised ground floor and that there would be a note 'do not move'. Yes we were given ground floor but with steps to access our section, this meant my husband had to cart wheelchair up and down 5 steps and I had to be extra cautious utilising the steps. I contacted the managers who were very apologetic offering any assistance if we needed with wheelchair etc. I did remind that I was promised ground floor due to mobility and was told the areas 1 & 2 were 2 bedroom and the only 1 beds were in stairwell 3 and they were fully booked I'd they weren't they would've give us one. Well in hindsight the promise shouldn't have been made. 5 hours later they offered us an apartment at another accommodation which was disability friendly. The thought of packing and moving 5 hrs in when we'd settled and unpacked was the last thing I could think of. Very kind of them and they tried their best but maybe juggling too many promises is their downfall. We had to move their carpet square around as upturned corners were trip hazards. Yes noise issues as others have said can hear toilet flush upstairs, and unwelcome stomping about at 2am. There was a noise issue at 7pm that first night of a group singing, yelling and stomping about. We made contact with manager again who quickly looked into it. Was told apparently a few families who booked accommodation meeting in one apartment deciding where to go for dinner.....that was some loud excitable decision making! Loud enough for us to make a noise complaint. Position is great, walk (and wheelchair) to everything, shops, cafes, beach and restaurants. I stayed there 4 years ago but when I was more mobile a nd would probably stay again but would be clear with my needs and call again pri.or to check-in to ensure all good.. Clean other than sand under that mat we had to move. And the fridge and pantry could do with a scrub.

The hotel is superb, has a home feel, has a communal kitchen and laundry room, and has a small bar in the room, very warm. 900 meters from the town and the sea, driving is very convenient, about 2 kilometers from the lighthouse, driving directly up the mountain.

Overall the stay was quite delightful. These apartments are right across the road from the beach so you can easily make time to watch both the sunset and sunrise each day if you want. Parking is secure and the apartments are very close for shopping and dining, only a few minutes walk. The apartments are individually privately owned so the prices are not solid, each owner charges their own rate so it can be confusing as to how much the bill might end up being after securing your booking - be careful for that!! The reception manager was rarely available and when he was there he was rather curt and rude I thought, but otherwise a nice place to stay. I did notice when we were departing after our stay that there was a lot of dust under the beds, which made me think that the servicing of the suites might be up to the last guests, we were advised to remove all rubbish from the room after our stay and to ensure the apartment was tidy with the dishes packed into the dishwasher and to switch it on upon departure. In which case, take some spare dishwasher tablets, only 2 are supplied for a 4 night stay and with only 2 supplied rolls of toilet paper, you had better BYO on that too.
