A must stay when in Byron, the first hotel I’ve stayed where I know I’ll be back!
Pros:

It has such a good vibe - everything that you would want while staying in Byron. The room was beautiful, as were the gardens, wellness area and pool. It was also in a great location to town and the beach so you had everything at your fingertips. The Swell team were so accommodating and lovely too. Felt very comfortable and welcomed.

Cons:

Nothing it was truly exceptional.

A Dream :)
Pros:

We can wholeheartedly recommend Swell Byron Bay! It is an incredibly beautiful and exceptionally well-maintained boutique hotel, with so much love and attention to detail throughout.

The staff were absolutely wonderful – incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The location is also perfect, just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Byron Bay.

Our stay at Swell was truly special and definitely one of the highlights of our four-week trip around Australia. We felt completely at home and would come back in a heartbeat.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay! ❤️

Cons:

Nothing !!!

Un petit coin de paradis
Pros:

Tout était parfait au Swell Hôtel. Le personnel est plus qu'accueillant et très gentil. La chambre est splendide, déconnexion totale. Les services proposés (café, bar, plats, piscine, sauna, etc.) ont été à la hauteur de nos espérances.

Je recommande vivement ce sublime hôtel intimiste et chaleureux.
