Just a one night stopover on our way south. The motel was spacious, clean and what we expected. The resident managers were very helpful and friendly. The motel is situated on the outskirts of Byron Bay so a walk to the CBD and beach. However taking the car was not a problem as parking was easy. Byron Bay seems like... More

I left this place with mixed feelings. The room was pretty good, typical of a motel room really. It had everything you would ask for. However there were two problem which I had which would stop me from returning. 1. This was largely my fault but the way it was managed left a lot to be desired. We booked this... More

I've stayed in Byron Bay many times and I stayed at this place over the busy public holiday week-end. It's about 10 minutes' walk away from the sometimes noisy downtown Byron Bay area. Very clean, quiet, spacious room and bathroom (we stayed in the twin share) - good, powerful hairdryer. All the decor was in excellent condition. Both beds were... More

It wasn't a bad stay. We're used to the more luxurious type of accommodation, but on this occasion we needed a lower cost room, considering we weren't planning to be there to relax. The only time we were in the room was winding down from our day to hit the hay. The room was spacious and the TV worked well.... More

A cheapo motel that charged us $150 for one night. The location is on a main road and not within an easy walking distance of the town. The room had one uncomfortable bed and a noisy, barely working air-conditioner. Traffic noise is terrible in any of the rooms near the main road (we were in 3). No bath, dirty motel... More

This was our first trip to Byron Bay and I would certainly stay here again. If you want comfort, value for money and a good location, this is the place to be. Whilst it is a 10-15 minute walk to the "main strip", Dolphins is conveniently located for a reasonable price.

We found this motel well-located for the price - it is a kilometre or so from the centre of town but an easy flat walk. The room was spacious and clean, with a larger (half-size) fridge than most motels and a microwave. Bathroom was also quite roomy. Only complaint was that the queensize bed was a little too soft for... More

Great value for money. I was pleasantly surprised with the size of my room. It was spotlessly clean, and had a little kitchette which was very handy. The owner was charming, welcoming and helpful. I think that this would be great accomodation for elderly or disabled guests, as well as couples or small families.

Chose this motel for price and because the rooms looked nice and modern on their website. It was all as described and very comfortable. The room was really big which was good because we had a lot of luggage and it had a kitchenette with all the facilities including electric frypan. The car spot was shaded by palms and the... More
