The standard cabin was a little cramped but, had a sink and cooktop and all the utensils and crockery that you needed if you wanted to do a cook up. Otherwise very clean and bed and linen was very comfortable.

Waves Byron Bay
Great central location, close to everything. The staff were lovely and accommodating, and the room was spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and if we were to return we would request a brighter room position to avoid the musty smell.
