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 fridge along with a en-suite bathroom. But the shared kitchen and lounge are busy and there doesn't seem to be enough pans or cooking rings on the hob to go around, so it can take some time to cook your food.
The resort is about 3.5 km south from from the main part of Byron Bay on Broken Hill Road. That does make it somewhat inconvenient, but there is a free shuttle bus to and from town at regular intervals. The resort is good for travellers with disabilities and the cabins are easily accessible.
Our overall impression of the resort is "shabby chic". It's really laid back and nicely set out but it looks like it could do with looking after a bit more.
