Little gem

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 7 Nov 2019
This little gem is right behind a most beautiful beach - out of the front door, a very short path through the dunes, and you are right there, at a beautiful and almost completely deserted beach, with wonderful views, My favourite place for a break. The motel has been kept updated over the years, and is a good price for the Byron Bay area. It has kept that older Byron Bay ambience, with a lovely little pool surrounded by lush subtropical vegetation and with a Balinese feel, inspired by the owner. Suffolk Park shops are nearby, and Byron Bay itself is 5-10 minutes away by car. Because it is a little out of town, it is much quieter than Byron Bay itself, and is perfect for a peaceful break.

Gosh, Jim, thank you so much for your compliments about our "little gem" - and taking the time to write a review ---it is so helpful for future guests to read helpful comments about our property, especially as we are tucked away out of town. Our beautiful Tallow Beach is just gorgeous first thing in the morning for a walk or run, or of course a swim. Some of our rooms have a small kitchenette, perfect for a quick snack, although there is a wonderful bakery 5 mins walk away. We look forward to welcoming you again.

    Wonderful place and space. Its so beautiful and relaxing with great beach access. Must experience to appreciate. Didn’t want to leave. The whole vibe just kind of picked us up and gave us a big giant hug. Super quiet as well. A very gentle nurturing space. Just what we were lookong for.

    This is a really great find near Byron Bay. It's a motel that has been kept modern with new carpeting, bamboo wall covering, nice linens and knick-knack treasures from throughout Asia (so rare to see when you travel!) It is very clean, comfortable and right across from the beach, where the boogie boarding is fantastic. The owners are splendid people to work with, replenished our towels daily and offered some local suggestions for us. This was one of our better hotels on our Australian trip and will definitely be back. The billing and booking is also all electronic, which is great. Very nice job!

    Room tip: All rooms are great!

As we are "off the beaten track" it is very helpful when guests comment about their experience staying with us and acknowledge that we are right across the road to beautiful Tallow Beach which stretches for 5 km from the lighthouse to Broken Head. We are very happy that you enjoyed your trip to Australia and we were able to help with your choices whilst here. we look forward to welcoming you on a return trip. Thank your for being such easy- going guests. it was our pleasure to have you stay with us.

    wow, Ian thanks so much for your kind words about your recent stay and sharing your experience with others. We value the fact that our motel is a little diffrerent and tucked away in such a beautiful location across the road from the beach, and just a quick drive into Byron. The small restaurants nearby are a great find, being able to walk there in about 5 mins. we look forward to welcoming you another time.

    Very pleasantly surprised. Clean & spacious rooms.. very comfortable!

    Everything that you needed. Just a short drive to the supermarket, filled with Byron Bay specialties.

    A walk across the Road to Tallows Beach.

    Very friendly staff, Rosemary was lovely.

    Quiet area, yet only about 10 minutes drive back into Byron.

    Great sunrise, pleasant long walking on the beach both toward the Cape Byron Lighthouse and the Broken Head, and great surfing. Cleaning everyday, not super expensive, very small pool. Hosts are kind people. Pub, restaurants, bakery, pharmacy and bottle shop at 5 min walking distance.
