Excellent location

A very comfortable stay in a great location. Close enough to town without being right in it. Also had a delicious meal at The Mez Club less than 10 minute from Bay Beach Motel. Would definitely stay again.

This motel was perfect for our stay in Byron Bay. Right on the outskirt of the town so it was quiet, but walkable to everything! The self-parking was easy and convenient. The lady at reception was SO nice and accommodating. Our room exceeded our expectations with size and comfortability. We were all very pleasantly surprised when we walked in! Would absolutely recommend staying here for your Byron Bay vacation.

Easy booking and check in. Property is central and easy walking to the beach and main shops. Clean and spacious (a little noisy with the skate park next door) but once inside the room, no issue at all. Super friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay
