Great little spot which is a very short walk to the shops and only a 20min drive to the ski fields. The place is recently renovated, fresh and very peaceful. Has all the amenities needed also

We had a fantastic stay at Mer-Sea. The place was squeaky clean and had all the amenities you would need. The pool was definitely the highlight!

The apartment was outstanding with everything thing needed to enjoy the stay. Everything was as described. Prime view of the river from balcony and the private rooftop was something else. Unbelievable spot for relaxing with the spa, bbq, fudge, tv and comfortable lounge. Very hard to leave the place after staying a couple days. It’s definitely at the top of the list of places I’ve stayed. Well done guys
Perfect Stay - Love the layout of the rooms. The pool and tennis court. Also walking distance to beach and shops.

Cosy and comfortable for a family of 6 adults and 2 kids under 6 Great communication with the manager and easy to collect the keys from a combination lock. The rooms were spacious with plenty of storage and well illuminated. The two lounges allowed for some of us to get some quiet time, both lounges had large TV's. The wifi worked great with 6 adults tapping into it. The individual room heaters and the gas heater in the main lounge allowed for a very comfortable stay. Lots of parking for three large cars and we made wonderful pizzas in the outside wood oven, like all ovens, it took about 4 hours and almost 40kgs of wood to get to temperature which is normal for such a large oven. Having said that you could still cook in it the following morning from the residual heat. We will be back as it was a great home for our entire family to gather.

Fantastic location. The dishwasher broken whilst staying there and Meg was great at assisting with everything. Quick to respond and have solutions. Tried everything she could to get it up and running which was appreciated.

This place was perfect

Great place, would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for 6 adults and 2 kids. Every social space was a great size and accommodated us easily. It would accommodate 8 adults easily if you don't mind the bunk beds. The home was beautiful, well maintained and very clean. Kitchen was kitted out well, we cooked and BBQ'd with ease. Huge TV was great for an evening move and watching sports. Location was great and walking distance to the local beach. Watch kangaroos in street in the evening. Highly recommend, will hopefully be back soon.

Cosy, comfortable, and perfectly located. We had such a great stay at Frangipani Cottage! The house was clean, cosy, and really well set up with everything we needed. The location was perfect — quiet and peaceful, yet just a short walk to the beach and cafes. Erin was an excellent host, very responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!
Chris - 29/9/25 — Frangipani Cottage
The property is perfect for families. It was very clean and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. The house has a stunning view of the lake and the firewood burner was fantastic.
Charlotte - 11/10/25 — Kookaburra & Company
The apartment is stunning. Staying at the Byron Marvel Penthouse was incredible! The apartment is stunning — spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything we needed. The balcony was our favourite spot, perfect for morning coffee and evening BBQs with a view. The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of Byron, just steps to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Erin was a wonderful host, very responsive and easy to communicate with. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Lovely places with short walk to nice beach.
Niraj And Isha A - 21/7/25 — Casa di Mare House by the Sea
A lovely apartment in an excellent position with a stunning view over the grammar school and the lake. Positive: The situation was exceptional with a sensational view over the lake towards the North. The rooms were comfortably furnished and well equipped. Parking was available in a private garage under the building. Negative: Nothing substantial but a couple of very minor issues which could and should have been picked up and fixed when the apartment was prepared for letting.
