Verblijf prima, receptie graag werken aan klantvriendelijkheid.
Pros:

Ligging was perfect en het appartement is zeer ruim.

Cons:

De ontvangst was zeer matig. We kwamen s’avonds aan in noodweer. Alles was slecht te vinden, de dame van de receptie was verre van behulpzaam en alles moest volgens procedures. Fysieke borg, kon niet met digitale kaart (kon maar dan meer dan 30 dagen wachten op refund, in welke tijd leven we??)

Een late check out was niet bespreekbaar en uiteindelijk moesten we 3x in de zeik regen heen en weer lopen alvorens we het appartement kon betreden.

Zeer gedateerd allemaal, back to the eighties…
Werkelijkheid komt NIET overeen met de foto’s.

Quite shabby
Pros:

Proximity to things were good. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

We stayed in unit 24. Although mostly clean, it was very run down. Paint flaking from the wall in one bedroom. Mould stains in bathroom. Blind in kitchen could not be pulled down for privacy. No lift. Had to carry bag up a decent staircase.

Fantastic location in a beautiful location - would highly recommend!
Pros:

Location was everything for this stay - right by Byron Bay beach! A beautiful apartment with fantastic facilities in the heart of Byron Bay. Beds were so comfortable. Would 100% recommend for anybody visiting Byron.

Cons:

It was great although the AC wasn't the best. There was a fan in the room but it didn't work. It was a little warm in the apartment but not the end of the world - we enjoyed the stay!!
