We stayed here for Christmas and loved it. Setting is idyllic, short walk to a very private beach and the facilities in hotel are great, with a really good pool. We stayed in a room about 5 mins walk from the main hotel and it was very peaceful and the room itsel GB was gorgeous. About a 5 minute drive into town. Highly recommend

We stayed in the beachfront suite with pool. Very convenient location. The outdoor area was so warm even in June with the sun shining down. The room was neat and spacious. There were delicious treats available and free newspaper daily. Very friendly and helpful staff. My pet loved his stay too and the complimentary Byron dog treats! The three of us will be back again!

Secluded retreat that could be improved

Reviewed By Jake W

Very quiet and secluded retreat 5-7 minutes from Byron by car. The grounds and hot tubs are wonderful and the staff (Marcella) was lovely. The room whilst very comfortable was smaller than expected and the bathroom was only ok. The food hampers are over the top ($100 min for continental breakfast) and there were no amenities in the room to make your own food. My wife and I both had massages which were FANTASTIC. All in all, this retreat could be improved but we did enjoy our stay.

Cute Palm Springs Vibe

Lovely clean hotel with gorgeous Palm Springs vibe & decor. The girls that work there were all really lovely also. The pool & cute caravan in the backyard added to the charm. Easy walk to the beach, pub & restaurants.

Cape Byron YHA

Come and enjoy everything Byron Bay has to offer whilst staying at Cape Byron YHA!! Only one block from the main beach and in the heart of town spend your days relaxing, shopping, eating in cool cafes then hire a surfboard or borrow a free body board and hit the beach or hire a bike to explore further afield. Sink your feet in to the sand, join a surf lesson, kayaking with dolphins and whales (whale season June – November), visit the famous town of Nimbin, jump out of a plane, and watch the sunrise at Australia’s most Eastern point. After all that excitement relax in the hostels common area, cook dinner in the communal kitchen, jump in the heated pool and get ready for one of the hostels many activities. Join a free walk to the lighthouse, eat pancakes for breakfast even have breakfast on the beach, meet new people at our cheese and wine night or at our weekly BBQ’s. Whatever your desire Byron Bay is the paradise where dreams come true. We look forward to meeting you.

Having not been to Byron since 2006, I came for a night with a friend. We didn't want to be spending in to the 100s for a room we would only sleep in. We opted for the Cape Byron YHA. For $70, we got a twin room with a double and a bunk. The room was pretty bare, no TV - But it had a clothes hang/store area / mirror / enough plugs for the 2 of us. The bed was comfy and the covers were clean and warm (you have to strip the bed upon check out). There were 3 or 4 showers in the block on our floor, same for toilets - you needed the swipe card to get in - again clean, warm. The kitchen area was large - this grossed me out a little - but it's been a long time since I backpacked Oz and needed to cook for myself in such. The pans were old and pretty grubby. You had to get your plates etc from reception - but we had ours with us. The tea towels were rank - I wouldn't use. The worst however was a bloke in the kitchen coughing all over the place - not the hostels fault, but nasty nonetheless. Needless to say, we didn't go sit and eat by him - we ate on our balcony which had a table and 2 chairs. During COVID-times and no flights coming in to Oz, this hostel serviced a range of ages - I am 40 and there were people older than me there. I found the hostel more like a motel. Good location and good wifi.
