Middle Reef Beach House is a very nice place to stay in Byron Bay. The location on a quiet street is excellent -- less than ten minutes' walk from the bus stop where the Greyhound buses drop you, fifteen minutes from the train station, and less than ten minutes' walk from the main beach and the town centre.
There are two buildings with nice common areas. The owner is very helpful. For instance, if you have a laptop with wireless connection you can use their internet network for free. The atmosphere is friendly, too. It is easy to meet people in the evening and have a drink on the terrace with them.
The rooms are nice and comfortable -- there's a lot of natural light in the bedrooms and some rooms even have a direct access to the balcony. The facilities are very clean and are much nicer than the regular facilities you have in a hostel. There is a barbecue, a nice terrace, and a fully-equipped kitchen stocked with all the things you need.
This hostel is very colourful and makes you feel like you're in a real house. It is the most pleasant place we stayed in as backpackers in Australia so far. Everything in this place is positive and makes you feel at home. It's a very good value for money for trendy Byron Bay. Two thumbs up for this hostel where we really hope to return one day.
