"Australian hotels do a lot of things well, but perhaps nothing lies more squarely within the national expertise than this sort of laid-back, effortlessly chic seaside escape. Bask & Stow is a few minutes’ walk from the main drag of Byron Bay. The neighborhood provides the low-key, residential vibe, and Bask & Stow is nowhere near large enough to spoil it, with just five suites and a stand-alone three-bedroom cottage." - Mark Fedeli
