We arrived down Saturday afternoon and were met by a very friendly lady on reception who gave me some directions for Byron and a map and also explained how to get to the beach using the private entrance. We stayed in room 14 and it was great. Big room with large bed, tv, tea making facilities, toaster and air-con. We... More

I rely on trip advisor, however there was no mention on the reviews about road noise, perhaps no one had stayed in room number 1. When I booked there were 2 family rooms available, however when we arrived we got the dud room, the room that should be sold last, at a reduced rate. We were in the first room... More

The reviews we read on Trip Advisor were very accurate. The location is excellent, the building and facilities tired, the room servicing very random, the reception staff helpful and the pool very enjoyable. They need to do some I vestment in the property and their staff if they want to do well in this competitive environment. Gail

Room was a bit dated and ropey but very clean. Management and reception were very friendly and helpful. Sometimes you get the rat race attitude from Byron business owners because they're so flat out busy and don't need to try too hard as the punters flock there. These guys were brilliant - so helpful. Thanks for a lovely stay.

I am a travel agent in Sydney and would highly recommend Wollongbar Motel - we booked the 3 bedroom apartment which is at the front of the property - great for family groups sleeping up to 10 people - 8 comfortably. Nigel and Jayne the Managers were very informative with what to do around Byron Bay and the apartment was... More

Rooms clean enough. Air conditioning doesn't work. A bit disappointing for the heat of summer. Short walk into town. Pillows were uncomfortable, fortunately there were spares but they too were identical. If its only one night and you get it cheap enough then go for it. For extended stays I would avoid it.

Sorry to hear your air conditioner wasn't working. Often it can be as simple as replacing flat batteries in the remote , or ensuring power activation key is in the slot on the wall underneath. Had you let us know we may have been able to fix it or move you to another room. Hope you had a good time... More

Direct beach access. Great location for everything you need- close to beach, bars and shops! Super Clean and extra friendly staff! Great value, even during peak season. Will definitely stay here again.

Nice location on the edge of town, few mins from town centre. Beach only 50 yards from hotel. Lovely big beach. Basic but clean rooms, good in size, we stayed in the lower deck. Didn't get to use the pool as beach was so close. Would stay here again. Staff were friendly.

Basic room although it was called a deluxe double! Balcony was with everyone else on the The bathroom shower needed a good clean, didn't look like the glass doors had ever been cleaned. Once you'd manoeuvred yourself into the toilet you needed to close the door before you sat down, otherwise you couldn't close the door! Kettle didn't work but... More
