Arcadia House

I have stayed here a number of times, but this guesthouse is going downhill and also the guests are getting noisier. This guesthouse was way better 20 years ago with the original owners - The shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in bathroom are not labeled so cannot use them. My room had silly ornaments on a bookshelf instead of having a place to put your belongings and no common space to prepare food. The guests are now noisier and have no consideration about being in a shared space - when guests walk down the hall the whole house shakes. The person in room 4 snored like a fog horn, the walls are so thin, so got no sleep for two nights. It’s disappointing to see this place now being an overpriced backpackers. I first stayed at this guesthouse in 2002 and it was to lovely. The original owners made this guesthouse so nice - fresh flowers, had a shared kitchen to prepare food, had cupboard space.

My wife found this amazing place & what a great place to stay so close to the main part's of Byron only a 10 minute walk & the girls that work here are so friendly and polite

Fantastic place to stay. Original roto house in excellent condition.|Just outside the busy area and easily walkable to the main strip. Gorgeous bed. And a nice little veranda to sit on. |Would definitely recommend to anyone coming this way.

We arrived at the property late, but were left a key and instructions about everything which made it a very easy 'check-in'. We stayed at the Seafarers room which was absolutely gorgeous! ||It was roughly a ten minute walk to the city, but it was nice to stay on a more quieter street. ||I would definitely stay there again and can't recommend it enough!

A lovingly restored guesthouse with an equally accommodating host! Rooney was only too happy to take feedback and give suggestions for must-sees in town. I stayed in the newly-updated Queen Azul room complete with spa bath and bay window. The room had all the necessary amenities and provided a wonderful space to return to at the end of the day. Most guests are respectful of the thin walls and kept to themselves/the noise level down at night. It was also lovely to sit on the communal verandah and read in the afternoon sunshine.|* Just a side note: it is 15-20 mins to the main drag and a walk in the dark at night time, or a short Uber ride!

We stayed in the room with the external bathroom which was fine (only a short walk to the end of the hallway) The building itself is a classic dwelling, beautifully set in a lovely garden. The location is great, nice and quiet and not too far to the beach. The room opened up onto a great veranda, and had a very comfortable bed. It was clean with lots of windows. Loved our stay here.

Booking and communications regarding the check-in process was great and easy to follow. The room was decorated very well and very comfortable. The walls are a little thin and you could hear the visitors in the next room. However the noise levels were not intrusive and we had a very quiet, relaxing stay. The main street (and restaurants) is a little bit of a walk, but all flat and not too bad. Parking is street only - but we didn't have a problem finding a spot. Recommend this guest house if you're heading to Byron.

Visiting Byron Bay was perfect in the Arcadia House. It is a traditional Aussie bungalow with beach decor. Loved the mosquito netting in the rooms. ||We stayed in Gone Fishing and even though there was no room window the light from the bathroom was fine. Plus the bathroom was big and beautiful. I took pictures for our own condo planned remodel. The manager was extremely accommodating and helpful. My husband and I enjoyed the easy walk or bike ride to town then our own Happpy Hour on the porch. We’re so glad we discovered Arcadia House!,,
