We arrived in surfers on Wednesday, and after some heavy drinking nights in Byron we were looking forward to a relaxing couple of days. We were very excited before we arrived as we booked a room with a private bathroom, however when we turned up it seemed it wasn't private at all, infact we were sharing with four others! Not people - cockroaches. Yuk - we named them all Carl - Daddy Carl was HUGE!! He liked to sneak up on you in the shower. Any way, apart fro...

Hello from a very tired Clare and James. We've been in Byron Bay for four days now. Arrived on Saturday night, met a guy on the bus on the way over who ended up staying in the same place as us. We turned up to find ourselves in our first dorm experience!! We booked a double room, and we got one, but it was in a dorm.

We arrived in Austrailia on Tuesday morning after what felt like a very long flight from Bangkok. Neither of us got any sleep. Arrived at the hostel to find our room wasn't ready, so just had to mooch round asleep on our feet. Eventually got our room, this was our first proper "hostel," no more extravaganse now it's back to "normal prices." We were pleasantly suprised, the hostel is a converted house - a big old style house, was very p...
