2025 R&M

Pottsville was a great location to use as a hub to take in a day at the Byron Bay Bluesfest, check out some of the lovely beaches along the coastline, and to rent bikes to do the Mooball to Murwillumbah portion of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. Accommodations were a great fit for my wife and I, a smaller place, but everything we needed was there. The yard is very well kept and it was a pleasure to sit and have our breakfast and coffee outside each morning. Our host was pleasant and very helpful.

Stayed at Shane’s property while visiting my son. The location was amazing, the house was very very clean and Shane was very communicative and responsive. Personally I would have preferred having a kitchen more than induction, but that’s just me. Other than that more than expected. Tnx Shane and see you next time.

Don't bother with Byron Bay, Pottsville it is!

If you'd like to enjoy Byron Bay but escape the InstaInfluencing crowd that comes as a package, then Pottsville is where you need to stay. Shane was an absolute pleasure to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed the location. Highly recommend and would visit again!

A super easy stay. Shane’s place is tastefully furnished, well equipped with a super comfortable bed and a lovely cooling private pool outside your door nothing more to ask for. Proximity to restaurants, shops & the beaches only minutes away. Communication with our host immediate & helpful. We all certainly return.

Peaceful oasis near busy Byron

Lovely, quiet and restful place approximately 30 minutes” drive from Byron Bay. Shane our host was helpful and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us; she was there when we needed her, and never overbearing. The villa itself is bright, clean and comfortable with a lovely, private outdoor pool and ample indoor space for a couple. Highly recommended for those who want to be near Byron but prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle.

A beautiful home in a great location

Loved our stay at Pottsville Luxury Villa. On arrival we were welcomed by Jaki. Pottville is a beautiful house and in a location away from the bussle of Byron, but still close enough to enjoy all the beauty of this wonderful shire. Everything was as expected & more! Spacious, beautifully decorated and all the facilities like home (but near the waterside). The outdoor lounge was such a delightful area to sit, to bask in the sun and read a good book. We look forward to visiting again.

Fantastic stay(z)

Spent Easter 2016 here- it was fantastic from start to finish. Shane met us there and showed us around the villa- the boys loved the bunk bed! So close to everything- bike ride/ walk to surf beach and creek across the road. Pool was an added bonus- all the "big people" would like one at home now- great size. Can't wait for my next stay. All up we had 5 adults and 3 children and plenty of room. Thanks again Shane for such a wonderful place.

Short stay

Inside the furnishings were lovely. Bed very comfortable but if you like a firm pillow best to take your own, these were very flat. There were a couple of very basic items not provided. We could not find a pen or piece of paper anywhere, nor was there a basic first aid kit. We were bitten by midges from sitting outside at dusk and would have welcomed some antiseptic wipes or similar. I did find the photo of the ‘exclusive’ pool area misleading. Photos were taken from inside the owners property and show the area you are allowed to use but it looks much more appealing in the photos. The bbq we had for ‘exclusive’ use was a tiny, rusty one in the greased area outside this unit. There was no outdoor table available for eating outside if you did use the bbq. Only a side table or a table inside in the sitting room. When we arrived the toilet seat was very loose and it eventually came off completely. We used it like this until it was fixed but those things are basic maintenance surely. Good area, nice furnishings but wouldn’t rate it much higher.

Pleasant roomy downstairs apartment at Pottsville

This downstairs apartment was great for a short stay (2 nights) at Pottsville. The kitchen area is small but we hadn't planned to eat in. The bedroom, bathroom and lounge are a good size and comfortable. The apartment was very clean and tidy and the host Shane was very pleasant. Parking was a little unusual - we had to park on the nature strip, but it was quite wide so that was OK. The apartment is not in the centre of Pottsville. We had thought that we might walk to dinner each night (at the local tavern and at Pipit restaurant), but each was a bit too far to take on at night.
