Great location, easy to walk into town. Rooms and exterior are simple, may need a little TLC, but can’t fault the staff who very helpful.

Really handy spot in Byron but needs a refurb.
The motel is in an ideal spot, on the way into Byron from the north, a few minutes walk from town and it backs on to the beach. If only it had been refurbished! It is very dated with chipped paintwork and dingy decor. The darkness in the room wasn’t helped by the bunk beds up against the window. We didn’t need them and hadn’t asked for them! However, the handiness of the motel and the extreme helpful and friendly staff did ease the disappointment of the room.

We had forgotten our power converter at our last stop. Ellen (I think) offered us a 220v phone charger for free. Apparently it is the most common forgotten item in their rooms. She had a box full of them. Well above and beyond, thank you.

BBQ and pool area ok but lights in undercover area weren’t working. Sliding doors for the room were not easily operable. Location to town and beach fantastic but property requires updating/maintenance.
