Terrific couple running the guest house
Guests simply couldn’t heap enough praise on the young couple who ran the guest house. They were, in effect, described as the perfect innkeepers, offering a warm welcome and all the local intelligence and recommendations guests needed to have a great holiday.
positive:
Reasonably close to town and beach
While the guest house is a bit up Jonson
Street from the town and beach, this fact did not
really bother any guests. They found that it was easy to walk to the town’s
amenities and the beach, with some adding that parking was very expensive in
the centre, so they were happy that they could simply leave their car in the
hotels parking and walk most places they wanted to be.
positive:
Opposite Byron Bay Services Club
A number of guests went out of there way to highlight that
the Byron Bay Services Club was right across the road, which many said offered
the best traditional Aussie meals in the area. They found it was convenient to
be able to just walk across the road for a top quality meal at a reasonable
price.

negative:
Barking dog(s) nearby
A few guests seemed to have been disturbed by incessant barking from a dog that seems to live nearby. Since there were various complaints at different times, it appears that it is likely a single owner who is the culprit, and had somehow not been obliged to correct the problem at the time of the complaints. Those who mentioned it said the barking could really go on for hours at a time.
