We had a fantastic time staying at The Outrigger. When I entered the secured property from the street to check-in, I noticed immediately that the gardens externally were immaculate. This is normally an indicator on how the remainder of the property is presented and it is great to be able to say that the great first impression continued for our entire stay.
Our three bedroom apartment had two large balconies, perfect for storing surfboards and allowing towels and swimmers to dry, as well as relaxing/reading and eating (big six seated outdoor table on main balcony).
The room and hotel facilities (swimming pool, BBQ, etc.) are excellent. The pool is even equipped with floating mattresses and noodles for the kids to play with.
The secure underground car park (remote control provided) is fantastic, allowing you to leave your boards strapped to the roof of the car with no concerns.
The ability to walk directly onto Bilongil Beach is brilliant (so no need to load up a car and then find parking just to get to the beach), as is the two minute walk right into the middle of Byron Bay for dinner, shops and ice cream.
The property managers are extremely friendly, happy and professional.
