Hotels Near Midgen Environment Park in Byron Bay

My partner and I had a short visit to Byron Bay and we stayed in the “Dragonfly’s rest” room at the Garden Burees. You enter by driving up a little pebble road and at this point already feel like you’ve entered into a secluded jungle. To get to our room we walked up another pebble path surrounded by lush greenery. We saw wild turkeys and a few lizards and water dragons. The entrance to the room was a double door of beautifully carved wood. Going through that door led us to an outdoor space featuring a stone bathtub, shower, sink, toilet, fishpond with waterfall and couch. This outdoor area was so nice for hanging out and relaxing and we couldn’t miss taking a romantic bath under the stars later that night (during which we got to watch some kind of lizard or gecko hunting bugs!). The indoor section of the accommodation had a bed, basic toiletries, candles, a living room area with a couch and table, a tv, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, silk robes, and board games. It was such a relaxing getaway that we almost just stayed in and didn’t even go into town. However, we pulled ourselves out of the zen to visit Byron. It was only a ten minute walk into the town. Overall our stay here was very peaceful and relaxing and we really loved having a private outdoor space to use and how immersed in nature this accommodation was!

Having not been to Byron since 2006, I came for a night with a friend. We didn't want to be spending in to the 100s for a room we would only sleep in. We opted for the Cape Byron YHA. For $70, we got a twin room with a double and a bunk. The room was pretty bare, no TV - But it had a clothes hang/store area / mirror / enough plugs for the 2 of us. The bed was comfy and the covers were clean and warm (you have to ***** the bed upon check out). There were 3 or 4 showers in the block on our floor, same for toilets - you needed the swipe card to get in - again clean, warm. The kitchen area was large - this grossed me out a little - but it's been a long time since I backpacked Oz and needed to cook for myself in such. The pans were old and pretty grubby. You had to get your plates etc from reception - but we had ours with us. The tea towels were rank - I wouldn't use. The worst however was a bloke in the kitchen coughing all over the place - not the hostels fault, but nasty nonetheless. Needless to say, we didn't go sit and eat by him - we ate on our balcony which had a table and 2 chairs. During COVID-times and no flights coming in to Oz, this hostel serviced a range of ages - I am 40 and there were people older than me there. I found the hostel more like a motel. Good location and good wifi.

A excellent stay and found Damien, Joanna and Luke (plus the rest of the team) to be super helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean, comfortable and a good size with adequate storage, plus the room comes with balcony which is super useful to help dry off clothes after a swim etc. The hostel as a whole sounds like it has a really promising future and wonderful staff to help develop it in the next stages. Plugs and reading lights in the bunks wouldn’t go amiss but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s already in the works for the future development. That said there were plenty of plug dotted about the room that you could charge a portable charger easily. If you’re working as you’re travelling, the hostel has a good area that people can work from too. All in all, an excellent stay. If (when) I’m back in Byron I’ll definitely be looking to stay here again.

The location is very good, in a small town with many small shops to visit. The beach is a 2-minute walk away. There are many cafes around, and a large supermarket is a 5-minute drive away. Dining is convenient.

Perfect location and great service

It is estimated that there are very few Chinese people who book a trip to Byron Bay on Ctrip. The reviews are all translated from English, so they are not very useful for reference. I will write a few words here for reference in case there are people who know this place and want to travel there. First of all, there are very few Asians in Byron Bay. For those who just want to check in at a certain place and take a photo to post on WeChat Moments, it is quite boring here. It is recommended to go to Bali or Phuket. The place is simple and not high-end. The hotel we stayed in... The whole Australia is almost the same - the hardware is old and shabby. The decoration of the all-seasons level is very good, at least it should be considered a four-star... There are not many attractions, so Asians who are afraid of the sun can take a detour. This hotel is old and there is no daily cleaning. It is an ”apar**ent-style” hotel, which means that you live in an apar**ent and you are responsible for cleaning and taking out the garbage during your stay. It is clean and tidy inside, but it is really too old. The tableware, cups and plates are all large and small, and they are all pieced together. Anyway, practicality is important, and other things don't matter. The location is very convenient, very close to the main beach and the downtown area (but these places are usually crowded and relatively cheap). However, there is a restaurant on the main beach. Every afternoon, happy hour costs more than 30 Australian dollars, two glasses of wine + a large plate of fresh shrimps, which are large and delicious. It is a good deal. If you say you will come again tomorrow, the boss may not be happy... Walking out of the hotel, on the busiest street outside the main beach, I drank white wine and ate oysters in several restaurants during happy hour. I found that the price of oysters varies greatly, and some are twice as much. If I don’t explore and compare, I really don’t know. Back to this hotel, the overall target audience should be backpackers. From the perspective of this group, it may be very satisfactory. Therefore, a hotel that matches your spending power and feels cost-effective is a good hotel. We booked the hotel late, and there was no room at a suitable price, and the available rooms were too expensive to accept. This was the only one, so we chose it. It is also a kind of fate.

When you drive to your villa you wonder if you made a bad choice, beautiful lush grounds but the villas more shipping container than anything. Once you open the door however you have a beautiful space. See photos. Our chosen villa for two people was spacious, the king bed very comfortable, great shower, great wifi. My only gripe is a very poorly designed bath, my not very broad shoulders couldn't lie flat against the bath as it is too curved. We ate a few times in the resort at different locations and the results were mixed from ok to very good. Food was on the pricey end.Staff were helpful and friendly at all times. The solar train every hour up to 5pm to the town was fun way to get there. Uber was about $20.

Clean, enough things to eat, ca n’t cook, it ’s a pity, there is no view, just sleeping well & # 128077;
