Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views The property was very clean and had all the amenities you needed. There wasn't any air-conditioning but there was a lovely cool ocean breeze every night. The views was amazing and was walking distance to the marina. Would definitely stay again! ##### Stephanie D. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mirvat Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness Appalling stay! Filthy apartment with sticky surfaces throughout - carpet, dining table, kitchen, showers were all disgusting. Broken lounge light forced us onto the balcony in darkness, no smart TV. Intrusive neighbor constantly monitored and complained, even about normal conversation on the balcony! Inaccessible for guests with mobility issues. Never again ... ##### Mirvat Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Drifter Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Drifter-Byron-Bay.h73063088.Hotel-Information) > > [The Elms Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tumut-Hotels-The-Elms-Motor-Inn.h19111574.Hotel-Information) > > [Pioneer Way Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Pioneer-Way-Motel.h9623501.Hotel-Information) > > [Reflections Seal Rocks - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Seal-Rocks-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Seal-Rocks.h7250099.Hotel-Information) > > [Karuah Riverside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karuah-Hotels-Riverside-Motel.h6260333.Hotel-Information) > > [Cove Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Cove-Studios.h4245615.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpine Resort Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Jindabyne-Hotels-Alpine-Resort-Motel.h3946057.Hotel-Information) > > [Boorowa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Boorowa-Hotels-Boorowa-Hotel.h16882364.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria's at Ewingsdale Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Victorias-At-Ewingsdale-Byron-Bay.h4517022.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grapevine Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Denman-Hotels-The-Grapevine-Motel.h9628495.Hotel-Information) > > [Euston Club Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Euston-Hotels-Euston-Club-Motel.h9628644.Hotel-Information) > > [Gabriel Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Gundagai-Hotels-Gabriel-Motor-Inn.h3954677.Hotel-Information) > > [Quirindi Sunflower Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Quirindi-Hotels-Quirindi-Sunflower-Motor-Inn.h37623578.Hotel-Information) > > [The Phoenix Artesian Spa Resort and Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Moree-Hotels-Dragon-Phoenix-Motel-Restaurant.h24775.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage 402 - Ocean and Lake Views](https://www.expedia.ca/Tuncurry-Hotels-Sunny-Ocean-And-Lake-Views.h110158693.Hotel-Information) > > [Tasman Holiday Parks - Jervis Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Jervis-Bay-Holiday-Park.h9679624.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Haven Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Haven-Lodge.h2616623.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-The-Lord-Byron.h2646995.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Blu – steps from Culburra Beach's blue waters](https://www.expedia.ca/Culburra-Beach-Hotels-Casa-Blu-Stay5-Pay-4.h112236304.Hotel-Information) > > [Gundagai Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Gundagai-Hotels-Gundagai-Motel.h100366276.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay and Basin](https://www.expedia.ca/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Bay-And-Basin.h19287179.Hotel-Information) > > [Bundanoon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundanoon-Hotels-Bundanoon-Hotel.h16242477.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mountain House](https://www.expedia.ca/Jindabyne-Hotels-The-Mountain-House.h27265256.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Haven Lake Tabourie](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tabourie-Hotels-Holiday-Haven-Lake-Tabourie.h19397066.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquarius Backpacker Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Aquarius-Backpacker-Resort.h18171655.Hotel-Information) > > [Maple View Medlow Bath (Blue Mountains)](https://www.expedia.ca/Medlow-Bath-Hotels-Maple-View-Medlow-Bath.h34095381.Hotel-Information) > > [Khartoum Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kitchener-Hotels-Khartoum-Hotel.h108285053.Hotel-Information) > > [Byron Quarter Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Byron-Quarter-Holiday-Apartments.h2646899.Hotel-Information) > > [Cadell on the Murray Motel Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Moama-Hotels-Cadell-On-The-Murray-Motel-Resort.h4292564.Hotel-Information)
