We had a short overnight stay at the Waves. Staff were friendly and welcoming - the muffins and fresh coffee / water & juice in the morning was a lovely addition. Great location with parking and walking distance to the Main Street. Clean and comfortable stay.

I spent just one night here with colleagues while passing through on a business trip. The spacious, stylishly designed lobby—complete with a crackling fireplace—helped us switch into after-work mode right away. My personal highlight was the service provided by the friendly and highly professional receptionist.

We had a nice overnight at this boutique hotel, and the hotel was close to full. We selected it based on TA reviews and cost. We’d call it about 3.5 stars, yet round up based upon the friendliness of the staff. Things we liked:|- Great location. ½ block from the beach. On the edge of “downtown” Byron Bay; everything is in walking distance.|- Friendly staff.|- The rooms are very large and well appointed. Very clean, and generally in good condition. Bathroom counter space is lean, however, one wall of the room is all desk level, so you can compensate.|- The light breakfast of fruit juice, a banana, and a muffin was a nice start to the day.|- Free parking is available under the building, which is a pretty key perk in Byron Bay. The property generously allowed us to park beyond checkout time, so we could spend more time in town. The spots are a bit cozy, particularly if you have a larger car. Other notes:|- As a 20 room, small motel they operate with the business model of reception being manned about 0700-1900. |- The rooms use traditional keys vice key cards. There is not a chain or deadbolt to secure the room from the inside. The room keys have a second key for the front door for returning after 1900. Rooms are all interior corridor entry.|- There is a small in-room safe. It will hold the family jewels, but not a laptop.|- There is not an ice machine. |- When we booked the room, it was among the more affordable in the central area of Byron Bay. That said, it cost essentially the same as 5-star properties in Brisbane, Cairns and Gold Coast that offered more generous amenities. Perhaps nothing more than a reflection of the Byron Bay economy. All told, it is solid choice in a high demand resort area. It is more custom than say a HP/HH, FI, or HI, yet roughly the same room quality.

We had such a great stay at Waves Hotel Byron Bay! The staff were super friendly and made everything feel really easy from the moment we arrived. They even added a special touch for my wife’s birthday, which made the day feel extra memorable. The location is unbeatable — literally a few steps to the beach and close to all the good coffee and food spots. Traveling with our baby, we really appreciated how accommodating and relaxed everything felt. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the room was spacious and clean with a nice view and a great bathroom. Overall, it felt like really good value for the quality and location. Would definitely stay again!

Large room, very clean and nice layout. Bathroom was stunning with a big shower. The bed was super comfy!! With soft sheets, had a few great sleeps here. Location was very central, can walk everywhere. It isn't beach front but it is on the corner next to the beach. Staff were excellent, explained everything well and were attentive when we asked if any assistance. The only con was the water pressure in the shower wasn't very good but that didn't really bother us. We will definitely be back!!

The best place to stay in Byron. Rooms are nice, showers are just awesome, and it's a short walk to the beach or pub.
