So convenient to town centre, step out back door onto the beach, lovely sized room with every comfort needed and most of all, wonderful people at reception, particularly Jacinta who has been so helpful in ensuring that our passports which we left behind are being posted back to us in Sydney. Cannot speak highly enough about her and The Beachcomber.

Glen Villa Resort is located in Byron Bay, just a 2-minute walk from the town centre. It offers fully self-contained cabins with en-suite bathrooms and kitchenettes.

All cabins of Glen Villa Resort are equipped with air conditioning and TVs. Guests can also choose a luxurious spa cabin, and unwind in their own private spa bath.

Everything! from the moment we checked in, it was an incredibly pleasant experience. Every staff member we spoke to were polite and informative and more than happy to help with any queries. If you travel to Byron via bus/shuttle it’s very close to the Byron Bay interchange and only a short walk to the centre of Byron/Beach. It’s also far enough away from town to really feel like a peaceful retreat. We initially only booked for 7 nights but ended up staying for 12. We will definitely recommend Glen Villa to our family and friends and would love to someday return.

    Absolutely stunning suite with the beach right at your door step. Suffolk Park is always a lovely quieter area to relax in with a more local experience of the Byron area but not too far to enjoy the bustle of excitement with Byron main town just a few minutes drive. You must not miss a sunrise walk at the beach if the weather permits, it's 100% worth rising a little earlier in summer! The interior design/styling of the suite was phenomenal with a bit of everything, whether you are here for a long or shot term stay, work or play.

    THIS property was the best place I’ve stayed yet to date, exceptional condition and the staff made it amazing, the ladies working at reception were very lovely people and they made our stay to perfection. The apartment was clean, and a gorgeous layout with amazing design. The owner should be very happy with their staff as I cannot say enough how great they were.
