Great spot. Breakfast nice touch. Staff good.
The only thing for us was the spa bath had shower in it and it was difficult to get in and out with short legs and older mother.
Garbage trucks very noisy each morning early too going down side road.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was not only clean but smelled clean too. The parking which allowed you to park where you wanted was another big plus. Honestly we just loved everything about the Waves and the setting and the town. We would come again and highly recommend staying here
Great stay! Comfortable bed, both bath and shower in the bathroom earns extra brownie points.
The receptionist was fab, friendly and efficient.
Wonderful location.
Highly recommended!!!
Charmant hôtel proche de la plage et du centre. Personnel accueillant et serviable. Cafe, thé, muffin, jus et fruit offert gracieusement le matin. Literie confortable et salle de bain très agréable. La suite 4 est juste immense

Helpful reception but not back office who just yelled out without getting off her desk chair ( too busy I guess)
Waves staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. The location is perfect for strolls around Byron Bay. The complimentary light breakfast was a very nice touch. Although only a short stay, we will definitely return.
Excellent location, in walking distance to everything. Large, well-maintained room and big bathroom with heavy sliding doors for privacy. The staff were great. Had the complimentary coffee and muffins as fuel for the lighthouse walk! Highly recommend Waves and would love to return.
Great central location, close to everything. The staff were lovely and accommodating, and the room was spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and if we were to return we would request a brighter room position to avoid the musty smell.
Excellent location with a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for our stay with adult children.

The biggest plus was the location - close to the beach, eateries and the action. The room was dark with a flickering lamp. The balcony was narrow and dirty with no seating. The bathroom was spacious but had no hooks to hang up clothes or towels. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room 8 is street level so could hear the music from across the road in the evening. Will explore other accommodation options next time.
