Beautiful location, lovely well kept rooms
Beautiful rooms and location. A lovely quiet retreat to relax and enjoy surroundings. We stayed in the 3rd cabin and had aircon, fan etc and furnishings all completed beautifully.
This review will be as honest as possible and is not intended to condemn the owners of Tri Byron.Firstly, the location is perfect. The view is amazing and the host very pleasant (interacted only by phone). Overall, the place was sufficient for our 7 night stay, but with some big exceptions.To disclaim completely, we understand that our booking was over a busy holiday period and we also accept the rate we paid is typical of places around the Byron and Byron Hinterland region. We paid a little over $350/night.With that $350 a night, we would have expected a place with AIR CONDITIONING. Being in the subtropical rainforest, it was difficult to handle nights with 90 - 100% humidity at 25.With the owner in charge of renovations and additions to the building, we also expected more attention to detail. Examples: 1) Bathroom has no ventilation whatsoever. There are two windows that do not open, but are facing the hinterland hills. One of the windows is placed crookedly in the frame, leaving a tiny gap at the top and a strange look. Because of the ventilation issue, the bathroom door had to be kept open. This door is adjacent to the sliding glass door, facing the gravel car park and Bangalow Road.2) There is nowhere to unpack clothes in the bedroom except the floor. Also, a rod has been hung by two ropes, with the intention of creating a makeshift clothing rod. This is either quirky or annoying depending on your perspective, but again, for $350 a night, I would have hoped for a dresser or a wardrobe of some kind.3) The items in the kitchen reminded me of a bachelor pad or share house. Not many things match and most is old and worn out. Wooden spoons are very old, so who knows how they've been treated over the years. Pans and lids don't match, glasses are odd and don't match, etc. Again, expectations for a place like this are a bit higher.One more thing that left us feeling a bit uncomfortable was the reprimanding tone of the "PLEASE READ" letter on the counter. It was demeaning in tone and made us feel like we were a burden to the owner. Phrases that threatened additional charges or limiting guests' duration (2 hours by the rules) and parking restrictions made us feel guilty of crimes we hadn't committed. We thought that better wording could have been used on ALL the notes around the house. "Don't flush this", "use the fast cycle only", "strick sic no smoking", etc. all seemed like commands to a child with little explanation for the meaning. We know they have a tank water system now, but why not state that as the reason for not flushing certain things or for using the dishwasher's fast cycle only? All it takes is...attention to detail to make us feel more welcome.If you're planning a stay at Tri Byron, make sure you check before booking unit 5 and don't pay too much. Your experience may end up having a few blemishes.
Recently stayed at Tri Byron Bay for 2 nights with my partner. We could tell that a lot of effort has gone in to the attention to details for absolutely everything & that it is managed with pride. It was just what we were after, a nice private place to stay roughly 15mins from Byron centre. Recommend it to those wanting to stay close to Byron but not in it & have space to slow down.
We were here last week. Beautifully furnished units with all the basic amenities one needs for a short stay. Finding plates, cups, glasses and cutlery in the room along with a little welcome basket with some fruit and tea/coffee/ sugar was very useful.The units are on the side of a hill and surrounded by lush greenery. We enjoyed waking up and stepping onto the balcony to see cows grazing nearby and hear lots of birds singing. Being away from the normally 'touristy area' of Byron meant that we could actually see thousands of stars at night, which is something we as city dwellers don't usually get to enjoy.It was also a short drive to Byron to pick up some groceries from Woolworths.We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying there to recharge your personal batteries in beautiful natural surroundings.And if you like dogs, the hosts have little George who welcomed us with barks and heaps of tail wagging and jumping
