Thank you Andrew for hosting the girls for their week long vacay in Byron. They’ve enjoyed the close walks to all the beaches and the tranquil and lush location. The apartment was very clean & comfy for the 4 of them. They felt warmly welcomed and right at home from the moment they arrived, so thank you for your welcome package! Thank you also for the thorough communication from the moment we booked so that the whole stay was seamless. Will happily return again!

Thankyou so much for your heartfelt review Hikaru. It was an absolute pleasure hosting Aika and her group for their end of school celebrations! The apartment was very well looked after and left in a spotless condition. Communication from all was seamless and we would highly recommend to other hosts and warmly welcome back anytime. All the best and thanks for being amazing guests:)
