The hostel features a rooftop bar, which offers an open area complete with artisan rugs and textiles, coastal-style umbrellas as well as trinkets sourced from travels around the world. You can enjoy relaxing and enjoying local Byron Bay brews and freshly made pizzas. Also available are the use of free surfboards for guests, to enjoy the nearby surf at Main Beach. The location is very nice, a short way to the beach and directly in the town. The kitchen was big and had everything I needed. I stayed in a 6 Room bed and we had our own bathroom.
