Spaces are fresh & light with a white & blue palette, retro surf artwork & a playful feel. Guests share a kitchen and the rooftop bar hosts happy hour & game nights. Lively & fun. ”

The hostel-meets-hotel in the heritage-listed Byron Council Chambers is tailor-made for Byron Bay’s hippie, surfy, foodie, beachy, sand-in-your-toes lifestyle and aesthetic.
