Waves at Byron bay is a nice stopping place for a visit to Byron Bay. It is very close to the beach and lots of restaurants. Our room couldn't actually see the sea but the penthouses on the top floor may be able to. The room was well equipped, spacious and comfortable if rather corporate bland. The bathroom was exceptional... More

To be honest I am surprised at the comments on the penthouse sure its not brand new but being close to the beach with the storms that pass through I feel it's held up well. We stayed 4 nights paying $260 for weekday and $330 for weekend. For the size and location I think the price is perfect. Great BBQ... More

We booked two nights in a level 1 apartment. As byron is so expensive, and many one or two bedroom places required more than a two night booking, we thought this turned out to be good value. The older style accommodation was neat. The bedrooms were warm at night but were equipped with pedestal fans. We were initially concerned about... More

This property is located perfectly with just a few steps to the beach and the centre of town and has partial views over Byron's main beach. On this occassion we chose the penthouse suite which provided plenty of space to relax, however the suite appeared to be a little tired and in need of fresh paint and new furniture. Our... More

Thank you for your review of Waves Byron Bay. It is unfortunate that during your stay we experienced the worst storm that Northern NSW has seen for many years. It was so severe that most of our National Parks have only just reopened. It took over two weeks for the town to recover and some businesses reopened only a week... More

This hotel's location was so enjoyable. Right on byron's glorious main beach. We had a family break and so for the three of us we found it great value considering the time of year was peak too. The apartment was clean and tidy. The bathroom was gorgeous with a lovely deep bath. They were accommodating in letting us check in... More

Great hotel accommodation and the kids loved the fresh muffins in the morning. You can walk to shops and beach. It was pricey for one room but we did go in January so we expected that in Byron Bay. Staff were very helpful and there is security parking which was very handy.

We stayed here a few times most recently a few days ago. We were probably there at the same time as the last reviewer. Fortunately for us, we were located on the other side of the building and didn't hear anything. The rooms are spacious and the bathrooms (black marble) impressive. Waves offers some handy extras such as beach towels.... More

We stayed at Waves for 3 nights in January 2013 a bit expensive, but at this time of the year all accomodation in Byron is expensive. The rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious, lack of kitchen was a minus but for convenience to town and beach it is excellent.

Convenient to beach but the backpackers on the other side of the road didn't stop the music until midnight. Reception said that I could have phoned security as their desk is closed from 6pm and the backpackers are supposed to close at 10pm.

Thank you for your review of Waves. We are sorry that you were disturbed by music from Aquarius Backpackers. They do stop music usually at 10pm but due to the festive season, music went on a little longer than usual. Reception is manned until 7pm but we have a private security company that will attend to any noise/disturbance issues if... More
