We stayed here for 3 nights in November. The location is fantastic - right across a small street from the most beautiful beach!!! (There is no view, FYI) Suffolk Park is a nice, quiet area so if you want to relax it's the perfect place but still just a short drive to Byron Bay if you want more action. The... More

Very nice small motel. Great position just a stroll across the road to the beach . Very accommodating owner. Well looked after over the xmas period we were there. Nice room with a small kitchen and annex room to make plenty of room to move around. Would recommend this motel for a nice quite stay. The swimming pool was heated... More

We have just spent 4 nights at this excellent motel which is located opposite the beautiful Tallow's beach and only a 10 minute drive into the town of Byron Bay Yes it is an older style motel and maybe not 5 stars, however we give it 5 stars for attention to detail, the owner Susie made us welcome the moment...

thank you for taking the time to write your comments about my motel. we try to keep the gardens pleasant to create the quietness and energy that seems to attract people who prefer to be out of town and yet participate in the attractions that Byron has to offer. More

Keeping in mind this is a "M"otel - we were thrilled at the experience. While the rooms are older - they are done up very nicely and the attention to detail and amenities are more than I have experienced at much pricier hotels/holiday homes in Australia. The pool area was well appointed and very quiet. Additionally, the rooms offered much... More

I chanced upon this little motel by accident because the local caravan park attendant was awol. Susie instantly made me feel welcome and although I had planned on leaving the next day I kept finding myself booking night after night and when I finally left I felt as though I was leaving a sanctuary. The Bali inspired boutique brought a... More

Nice pool and gardens especially the flowering Jasmine that smelled so lovely as I had my morning cuppa by the pool. It's right across the road from a stunning beach, I fell asleep to the sound of the ocean which is fantastic being a mountain dweller. Came to the Byron area for peace and quite and peace of mind, provided... More

The website really undersells the motel! We came not expecting much, and were very pleasantly surprised. The spacious room was cosy, clean and comfortable with carpeted floor, soft lighting and newish bathroom. It is evident gradual improvements have been made and are still being made, and our twin room looked newly furbished. We had a queen bed and a single... More

Thank you for your great observations of the motel - yes, we have done some work recently and are still improving things slowly, trying not to change the character of the place. At the same time you have mentioned so many helpful facts, i would like to thank you for your comments and sorry about the pool itself, it usually... More

Thanks for your review on the motel and also for the great information about the local eatery, e.g. bakery, pub etc. it is so good to have some places nearby so that guests can just walk to the shops without having to get in the car to drive to Byron, even though it is only 5mins. away. It is always... More
