Hibiscus Motel

Our stay was fine; really it was fine. Picture a classic roadside motel—ten rooms, each with its own parking space at your door steps, like mini motor palaces. The place was clean, roomy, and just steps away from both sand and snacks. Beach on one side, main drag on the other. Honestly, unless it came with a pet kangaroo and a free massage, I’m not sure what more you’d want. Sure, places like this went for $75 a night back in the day like year 2005-2009, but that was two Britney Spears albums and a global financial crisis ago. These days, in the land of Byron Bay lattes and surfboard soul-searching, anything under $180 in a non-holiday peak (2nd week of the Jul school holiday) feels like spotting a unicorn in board shorts. Reasonable? Absolutely. I stayed here in 2013, returned 2025.

Stayed here for a night whilst passing through with adult son. What a great room in a great location. Just one block back from the beach with free parking right outside. |We were early but able to check in.|Large spacious for 3 adults, fridge, tea and coffee, etc. Iron, ironing board, tv, and shower amenities.|It is a great find, spotlessly clean, quiet despite being central to everything |

Super clean rooms and the staff were really friendly. We walked to the beach every morning and even made it up to the lighthouse for sunrise. Would definitely come back

The hotel was clean, quiet, and surprisingly spacious. The staff gave us great local tips and we had an amazing time surfing and exploring Byron.

Perfect location – everything’s right on your doorstep. Room was spotless and comfy. Loved being able to pop out for a coffee or a swim anytime. Felt really relaxed

Stayed for 3 nights and the room was simple but had everything we needed. Staff were lovely and it’s only a short walk to the lighthouse track.

Small motel, but super comfy and quiet at night. The team at reception was kind and helpful with tips around Byron. Great little find.

Overpriced motel in Byron Bay. Bathroom was in very bad shape and there were lot of ants and they did not even bother to apply some insect spray. When I complained to reception , responded saying it’s because of wet weather. Pathetic experience after paying premium money for stay. Worst part is nobody available after 7 pm to address this kind of issue so incase of emergency you rely on so called security service which is chargeable service as on call. Do not waste your money, go find better place to stay.
