 "This place absolutely rocks. I've got to admit that it's been a while since I stayed here, about two years by now, but I had a couple of really great weeks. It's cleaner than lots of other places I've stayed at, and the staff were pretty cool back than. The common area is just perfect to meet people to go out with, and if they still have that free boogie board offer you should stay here...
Backpackers Holiday Village is the only backpackers hostel located in the main street of beautiful Byron Bay. We are just a short walk to everything Byron has to offer! Spectacular beaches, a variety of shops, cinema, easy staggering distance to nightclubs and much more! We offer shared accommodation (mostly four per room) and double rooms which are available in our hostel or our self...
 "I stayed there in hut 13 with my girlfriend. Without doubt the best hostel we stayed in. Totally chilled, friendly staff, romantic as hell, can't rave on about this place enough. If you don't go - you miss out. The choice is yours." … "We checked into the arts factory for one night, but ended up staying for a week. So laid back and mellow, we didn't want to leave but the funds had the...
 "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...
 "Belongil Beachouse is a relaxed hide-out that allows travellers to escape the crowds typically found at the more well-known backpackers in Byron Bay. In this regard, the guests tend to be slightly more mature but there is still fun atmosphere nonetheless. Most guests are between the age of 20-25, although the hostel consistently attracts alternative lifestyle travellers in the 35+ age range....
 "Byron Bay has a relaxed, social atmosphere which is also present in this hostel. The hostel is quite large with numerous facilities including a volleyball court, pool table, small swimming pool, and direct access onto Byron Bays main beach. Backpackers Inn on the Beach is situated about a ten minute walk from the coach stop, however the hostel does provide shuttle buses at certain times...
 "This hostel was really good. The rooms were clean, as were the bathrooms and the kitchen. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, really close to the beach and shops and nightlife. I would definitely recommend this hostel, and I would stay here again." … "This hostel is fantastic and cannot be faulted! The staff are extremely helpful and well organized. The dorms,...
 "I stayed in another hostel in Byron previously but moved to J's because it was so clean and comfortable." … "This hostel has a very big and clean kitchen, a good location, and friendly staff. Best hostel I've stayed in!" … "This place has a really nice atmosphere, friendly staff and clean and well-equipped facilities. I loved it and would definitely recommend staying here!" …...
 "Great hospitality. I felt at home, far from my home...Italia!" … "I had a fantastic stay here. It's probably one of the best hostels I've stayed in. The staff were friendly and helpful, and most importantly, it was clean. Is that old hippie guy still there? I can't remember his name. A great stay." … "Nice people, very clean rooms and very relaxed. Loved the pancake breakfast!"...
 "Aquarius is the best on hostel in oz! It's chill but always a party, clean comfortable and wicked welcoming staff!" … "I had the best time of my life in Aquarius! Wicked staff, great food and always a party!!!" … "This hostel just rocks... nothing but beautiful rooms, nice bar, clean kitchen and friendly, helpful staff. Very central and close to the beach!!!" … "Well if all my...
 "Ok - This hostel is ok if you want to party all night and not sleep. Although the common areas are closed at 11 p.m., sometimes people still linger about -- plus we had noisy neighbours on the second night and hardly slept at all. It's a good location and there's a travel desk plus free pick-ups." … "Disgusting - Couldn't sleep as couldn't stop itching, had to sleep with clothes on, and...

 "The Rainforest Resort in Byron has a great setting - the cabins and dorm blocks are set amongst the trees in the rainforest as the name suggests. There's plenty of room between the cabins so it feels really spacious. There is a track from the resort that crosses a nice creek with lots of wildlife and follows onto the beautiful beach. The double rooms are a good size and have a TV and...


Byron Bay Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Anonymous
Byron is the most beautiful place you're likely to encounter. But beware, money has crept in, food is extremely expensive, and the wages totally crap. Accommodation is extremely expensive also and there's really not a lot to do if you stay four months-plus. And there's a strange influx of new age creeps. Get yourself a cabin in the hills as I did and you will be sublimely happy.

Byron is a great place. In a year's holiday, I spent six months of it in Byron Bay. I spent the last ten years arranging my life so I can emigrate there, I love it that much.

Byron Bay is amazing -- I went there for a couple weeks and stayed six months and even then I was gutted to leave.

Byron Bay is great.
Comment by brett
Byron is like the best chilled out place to be after 4 years of backpacking. A backpackers holiday from backpacking man. Just a little sour note, age discrimination is creeping into the industry. Not very cool for we over 40s...remember we started the craze 20 years ago and some of us are still going!

Byron Bay is awesome. I live in Australia and can't stay away! The people are friendly and relaxed and are up for a good time! Looking forward to going back for my birthday!

Over rated. Over hyped. Over priced!
Comment by David
I did a study abroad last year in Austrlaia. I heard a lot of things about Byron Bay, but I thought the place was a complete dump, along with the hosels there. There are much much better places in Australia. If you want to see a nice beach go to Townsville, the Sunshine coast or Coff's Harbour. Don't waste your time here.
Comment by Lauren
Byron Bay was amazing. A super mellow stay with astonishing, breathtaking natural surroundings. I recommend hiking up to the lighthouse to watch the sunrise on a partially cloudy day for full effect. I want to move there.
Comment by Karinne
Byron Bay is the most beautiful town we've seen so far. So lush, great health minded shops, lots of holistic therapies available, we'll be back to stay much longer next time!

Don't be surprised if you come to Byron with the intention of staying a couple of days and end up staying a couple of weeks. This place is beautiful .... a must-see for anyone travelling in Australia.
