I booked a lodging at First Sun based on fellow Trip Advisors positive comments. And I am so glad I did. This place is a gem. From the moment we arrived until we left the staff were nothing other than professional, friendly and available. The quality of the lodge was excellent - clean and fresh. The Park does not pretend...

Thank you for your honest review. Unfortunately the moon drummers are out of our control and I guess add to the Byron Bay experience. I appreciate you telling others of your pleasant stay and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. More

I have stayed at First Sun a few times. The camping is really expensive for just the small bit of land but you pay for the location I guess. I suggest getting a camp site near the end. There is a security person roaming tthe area as well so at about 9 or 10 you have to be a lot... More

Check-in staff were very friendly and helpful. Stayed in one of the ensuite lodges. They were quite small but clean and functional. Location was perfect, close to the beach and right beside the bars and restaurants.

Stayed for 3 nights. There are no BBQs by the beach, they are just grill plates. We stayed in a lodge and the toilet and shower were combined so everything was wet and damp as it took a long time to dry out. The rooms are small and the facilities very basic. Wifi is temperamental and you are only given... More

Great location but the "Lodge" rooms a very small and cramped. As a neighbour said, 'does not look like the photo'. It was like they were trying to get as many buildings in the area as possible. They also allow groups to stay who want to party all night. In our area there were 4 families who were lucky to... More
