As you walk to reception with such an inviting view across the lawns and hear the beach beckoning beyond the trees, you simply relax and enjoy. The friendly welcome by staff, 'make yourself at home' feel in the room, peaceful and spacious surrounds and close proximity to the cafes and shops make "Friday on the beach" a place to highly...

Booked last minute last week. Arrived 10am and advised that room would not be avail until the usual 2pm. They had us in before noon. Lovely huge room for me, 13yr o and 8yr o. Absolutely perfect positioning could not have been better. My new secret, and i'm not giving too much away as the extra's were a huge surprise.... More

I stayed on a weekend, so it was $300 a night. To me it seems like a lot for such a simple place. The location is great, close to everything, but it's not like you can see the ocean from your room or anything - you are a good 200m from the water, behind trees and dunes. There is no... More

Best location in byron bay - walk out your door, across the lawn and you're on the sand. The rooms aren't very fancy though - quite basic and comparable to your average small town motel. You won't be spending much time in your room with the beach, cafes and pubs so close.

Unfortunately only spent one night at this hotel; arriving late and having to leave early, so don't have a lot to share. The hotel has the most amazing position being literally on the beach yet a short stroll to all the cafe's and quirky places Byron has to offer. Our room was much more spacious than I had imagined, clean... More

After booking online into a B&B which turned out to be not what we expected, we found Friday's On The Beach. A great location right on the beach, a very comfortable spacious room and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Week day rates are very competitive ( not much more than our poor standard B&B), but weekend rates soar dramatically; but... More

Location is great but accommodation is over priced for what is basically just a simple room with no bells or whistles. Parking is also a problem as there are only limited places at the hotel. It is a nice enough place but i would not go back in a hurry.

Highly recommend anyone to stay here. Mary was a wonderful host, very welcoming, gave lots of advice and the rooms were exactly what we wanted. Very convenient and close to the centre of town and to the beach.

We loved our stay here, and wished we could have stayed longer than our 1 night stopover. Location was brilliant, not having to cross the road to go to the beach was one of the reasons we chose to stay here. Being welcomed by Mary with the offer of milk and carrot cake to refresh us after driving was a... More

You simply can't find a better spot to stay in Byron Bay. There's a lawn and a pedestrian path between you and the beach, and it's only short walk to the main shops, cafes and bars of Byron Bay. The location is set slightly away from the main road so this makes the evenings quiet - a difficult thing to... More

We agree, we would have to be the best location in Byron, right on the beach and so close to all the restaurants and shops. It's an added bonus being situated in a park with the beach access right at our doorsteps We hope you can come and visit us again More
