Palmwoods accommodation from NZ$183

Yes

Room was filthy, mouldy, smelt bad, carpet had not been vacuumed, floors and balcony had a thick slimy residue, hair in the bedsheets, dirty spa, even the hairdryer had scum around the handle. I requested a birthday note in the room for my husband and kid and they couldn’t even do that. Other nearby hotels go above and beyond. The pool and location were the only nice things about this resort. We have stayed here 7 years ago and it was nice then. The whole resort is old and out dated. Very disappointing

We did a road trip from Sydney to The Gold Coast and stopped at Byron. We booked a deluxe suite for two nights @$290 pn because ours was a last minute trip and nothing else was available. Parking was included. The ground floor room was very convenient to access and was huge. More spacious than appeared in the photographs. You could tango in the bathroom and waltz around more freely in the bedroom!! It had an extra bed, a sofa, dining table and plenty of storage. The bathroom had a full length tub - full length!! - that was easy to get in & out off (at my age that’s a consideration). The balcony faced the road and really wasn’t an issue for us. The location was fabulous just 100 metres to Main Beach and around the corner from the shops. We didn’t have to take the car anywhere & deal with street parking which was great. The morning tea/ coffee fruit and muffins from 7-10 or 11am were a lovely bonus. Not just a token plate but the best muffins I’ve had! And a good choice of Nespresso pods. They offer beach towels and beach toys/ floaties etc for your use from reception. Don’t forget to slather on your sunscreen from the lobby before you head off. The external showers when you return from the beach are on the side lane. Such a lovely stay (sigh!). I would love to come back for a return stay- maybe at the penthouse which looked fabulous from the street!!
