Atlantic Guest Houses Byron Bay

Just arrived back from a relaxing trip to beautiful Byron Bay, where we stayed at Atlantic Guest Houses. It is situated right in the middle of town and is made up of several buildings comprising various types of accommodation from shared to suite. I just loved the decor. These are two of the thoughtfully-planned buildings:

I'm not sure what they look like inside, but judging from the exterior, I'd say rather good. We stayed in one of the rooms in another building - the Coconut. It was tastefully decorated and very light and airy with its own en suite and outdoor area:


It opened off this hallway (I love the chairs):

And the mid-century buffet:

At the end of the hall at the back of the building was this gorgeous kitchen, complete with recipe books and everything you would need to cook up a storm:

Bifold doors opened out onto this great outdoor area:

I would certainly recommend staying there, and can't wait to go again. It was very reasonably priced, too.

Beautiful Byron

One of my favourite places in the world is Byron Bay. Pretty soon we'll be taking a little trip there, and will be staying at Atlantic Guesthouses. The rooms look like they'll be light and airy:

I love the black curtains and these cushions:

And the pink chair has a great retro feel:

Surfers Paradise

We had a great night in Byron Bay staying with our friends Lara and Geoff, who took us to Bangalow for dinner. We had a drink at Bangalow pub, then dinner at a great Thai cafe with live music. The weather had improved after Port Macquarie, Byron's lighthouse just as popular as ever with visitors:

We then drove to Surfers and stayed at Mantra Legends for $107. There was a kitchen so we cooked our own dinner:

The balcony view was quite good - we didn't mind the other high-rises around us - that's part of the fun of Surfers:
