Super cute and stylish guesthouse right in Byron Town. My friend and I didn't have a car and it was easy to get around.

Room & toilet were very clean. Complementary bottle of wine and cookies.

Brian Australia

Bed was extremely comfortable, lovely old home, but modern interior.

Ann Australia

Location was great. Claudia was so helpful and lovely. The space is very welcoming. The only criticism is security travelling alone and staying with other guests, but otherwise, a lovely trip.

Professional and friendly staff. Ideal location and cozy facilities for those who want to sit back in peace. Thanks a lot, Claudia :)

Koya Australia

The location in walking distance to the Center. The place is immaculate and the best equipped accomodation we ever experienced. Absolutely generous provisions of anything you need on a holiday. A kitchen and laundry stocked with all necessities. The outdoor space on the verandah is like another living space.
