Libby Australia

This was our second stay at The Bower and it was the perfect place for us to spend our honeymoon in Byron Bay. We’ll be back again for sure!

Jenna Australia

The pool was great. Not too crowded, not too noisy. Nice and mellow and relaxing. Also loved that the General Store was right next door. Being able to take bikes to get into town easily made the location great. Perfect to be removed from the noise, but still be able to access it easily.

Jessie United States of America

Beautiful styling, really clean, great location - 15 min walk to town. It was raining when we stayed but the pool looked amazing! We stayed in a small room in the cottage, lovely shared facilities if you're okay with just a simple bedroom. The bedroom details were gorgeous - the curtains, tiles in the bathroom, linens etc.

Tanya Australia

Loved the decor, the beautiful pool, complementary drinks/snacks, friendly staff.
