Byron Bay Villas - Reviews and Rates

G'Day Mates!

After a short flight from New Zealand we landed in Sydney and automatically felt the change in temperature! We stayed in this pretty sweet hostel which was an old railway station converted into a hostel. The best thing about it was that each night they cooked a meal for $5, so we didn't have to do much cooking! The 2nd day we...

Nach der Ankunft in Byron Bay finde ich zum Glueck gleich die Strasse, in der mein Hostel bzw. Guesthouse ist. Das ganze sah ja im Internet ziemlich nobel aus und sie haben ausser den kleinen Dorms (max. 4 Personen) auch ganze Ferienwohnungen zum Vermieten.

Max hat noch nichts fuer Byron Bay gebucht und kommt auf Verdacht einfach mal mit ...

The bus ride from sydney was an absolute nightmare. It seems like travelling to places is not going so well but the arriving and the parting are. The bus took 12hrs and i got no sleep as i have lost my sleeping tablets. It's a task for tomorrow. I now havent slept properly since my first night and I think i am hallucinating with fatigue (just a ...

This past Friday the 25th was a public holiday called Anzac day. Australia New Zealand Army Core. Aka Veteran's Day. They have a dawn service were everyone wakes up mad early and heads into the city to ANZAC square before sunrise. It's a day when Aus and NZ lost a lot of men at Dawn one morning years ago in the WWII. It was good, glad we went, p...

So we leggered down the coast back into New South Wales to check out Byron Bay. This is a grand little place. We only stayed two nights here because we wanted to check out Surfers Paradise further up the coast. Although we did hear that Surfers was'nt a great place at all. But you could spend ages in Byron, although it is very touristy. Compared...

By some miracle we nearly had everyone up and ready at 7 am today for the drive to Byron Bay. Carrying ten people with all our weekend gear in the back, the troupee was packed tight and ready for the journey. Our trip would take us over much of the Great Dividing Range, an old, eroded string of mountains more similar to the Appalachians than the...

After our experience at Surfer's Paradise we were a little downhearted about our road trip but Byron Bay was just the tonic to make us feel a bit better. We headed to the lighthouse which is located right next to the most easterly part of mainland Australia & the view from up there down the coast both ways was amazing. It was then we saw a f...

What I needed after such a week was a good drink. Lucky, then, that the Hunter Valley, one of Australia's best wine producing areas (and New South Wales' largest) was a relatively short drive up the coast. With well over 100 vineyards in a relatively small area, it was not so much a case of driving to the next one, but rolling down the hill. Mik...

Took bus up to Byron Bay and passed through Port MacQuarie and Coffs Harbour which both looked like quaint little fishing towns. Arrived in Byron and loved it, got picked up from bus by hostel and guy with the most Australian accent I have ever heard, can still hear it in my head. Checked into Arts Factory which is very cool, they have teepees a...

The night before leaving Sydney we couldn't sleep as we were both excited and a little anxious! (And relieved as it was 5 days after we were originally planned to leave!!) By the time we had rammed everything in Barney and actually left it was 5pm! So much for setting off early! We had no plan whatsoever and had only glanced at the map before we...
