    Relaxing stay in the beautiful Byron rainforest

    - Guest noise from other cabins - As it’s 3-4kms out of the main strip of Byron I would recommend getting there by Car as it’s quite secluded.

    - beautiful scenery nested in the rainforest - pool was great - spa & sauna was nice - The owner is very friendly and made us feel extremely welcome.

    The accommodation is in need of a little updating. The bathroom floor had a constant puddle because the floor couldn't drain properly. The shower head was in need of descaling.

    The location is fabulous. The cabins have a beautiful outlook. It is peaceful and very private. The host is lovely and very helpful.

    The hotel could maybe have been a little cleaner but that’s being picky

    Feeling like it was totally private and all you can hear was nature.

    Some minor updates in the bathroom are needed but did not affect our stay!

    Azabu was relaxing, and peaceful as advertised. Only 6 minutes from town this was an ideal location to get away and relax while having access to all that Byron offers. The owner was friendly and helpful. Spa services were great! Would recommend!

    Asked by the property to accept a Queen sized room rather than the booked King sized room. However, I was not aware that the Queen sized room did not have a chair or desk in the room.

    Responsive communication. Great location. Quiet and private. Good air-conditioning comfortable bed. Japanese themed rooms and resort. Would make a great couple get-away.

    I would suggest better lighting of the sink and mirror: with the overhead light you can’t do makeup or skincare as soon as it gets dark. And it would be great if the fan had multiple speed options (though it was not a big issue for us).

    The manager of Azabu is welcoming and very kind. Our bedroom was perfectly clean with the necessary amenities. The pool isn’t big but perfect to refresh and relax. We enjoyed a treatment at the spa and I would highly recommend! The perfect way to end (or start) a relaxing stay. The highly was definitely to wake up in the middle of a forest and enjoy the morning coffee surrounded by nature.

    The location is quite remote from Byron. Ubers were our only option which made it a bit tricky. Walking to Byron took an hour. Don’t forget to order breakfast the day prior!

    The service was incredible; he was very friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable, private and pretty. The spa was warm without even needing to be turned on. The property was very pretty to be within; surrounded with nature and tranquil forest sounds. Breakfast options are available which was so handy; it was delicious and prepared with all fresh local produce!
