We loved our stay here! The staff were very easy to call and talk to and very accomodating when plans needed changing. I cannot understate how much this meant to us. The room was lovely. It was modern and had everything we needed. It was spotless! Well done to the staff and cleaners. The location is awesome. A 4 minute walk into the town centre - no needing to find a park. Easy walk to Woolworths. The full kitchen was well equiped.

I just returned to the U.S. after my second visit. I was here last year for a week, and enjoyed it so much I returned for 10 days this time. Many thanks to Jacinda and her fine staff for a wonderful, relaxing stay. My studio unit was roomy, very clean, and well equipped. I enjoyed the private balcony many times, especially for breakfast. The refreshing pool was a perfect end to a day at the nearby beach. Since I do not rent a car, it is a five minute walk to Jonson Street, one of the main business streets on Byron Bay. Excellent wi fi the whole stay and t.v.

I have been staying in Byron bay for over 35 years and staying at different places. A few agos I found the Beachcmober and haven't stayed anywhere else since. The home away from home we call it. From the first day we stayed here Jacinta has been amazing from the warm welcome when we arrive to the card given while we stay. Then at night we have Donna whom no matter what time if the night she is always friendly and helpful willingness to attend to our needs. The grounds are always clean and keep well it's a very enjoyable environment with access to the beach and waling distance to the shops you really dont need to use the car at all. For me it's knowing that my hosts , Jacinta and Donna make me so welcome it's not just resort accommodation in the most beautiful town in the world , I feel like I'm a local and have come home. Every time I stay I can be assured I'm welcomed 🦋😁✌️

We had such a wonderful stay here in Byron Bay! This was our second time visiting the area, our last trip was over 15 years ago, so it felt really special to come back and create so many new memories. From learning to surf to kayaking alongside dolphins, this trip was truly unforgettable. A big part of that was thanks to the fantastic apartment we stayed in. The location couldn’t have been better, just a couple of minutes’ walk to the heart of Byron’s lively main strip, yet still peaceful and relaxing. The beach was also less than a four-minute walk away, which made it so easy to enjoy the coastline whenever we liked. We also loved how convenient everything was, just around the corner there was a bike rental spot where you could simply scan a QR code to hire a bike, and even the nearby petrol station offered surfboard hire, which we happily took advantage of! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always available to answer questions or offer great local tips. Our apartment was spotless, comfortable, and made it easy to settle in and feel at home. We also loved spending time by the pool, and appreciated having access to a BBQ area (even though we didn’t end up using it!). Overall, we had a terrific stay and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Byron Bay. We’ll definitely be back!

Overall good value for the money. Free secure onsite parking, well stocked kitchen, nice staff. The lobby checkin in is limited in hours of operation so if you are planning to arrive late at night or early morning be sure you check with them first. There is also a little path out the back gate of the property that leads directly to the beach which is nice if you wanna walk the beach into town or just walk the beach. Even if you take the main road to walk into town it’s only about a 5 to 7 minute walk on a wall lit heavy traveled road. I was traveling alone and felt completely safe. The only downside to this hotel is immediately next door to the property. There are some massive construction project going on. This is obviously not within control of the Hotel and I certainly don’t blame them for it. However, be prepared for some construction noise during the day.

I had a great time at the Beachcomber. Rooms had everything required, whilst the pool and spa were clean and tidy. Perfect location..walk to city centre in just a few minutes and easy access direct to beach via back gate. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful.. shout out to Jacinta and Danielle, thanks!! :)
