Nothing, it was perfect.

We loved everything about our stay at the Lily Pad. Beautiful apartment with stunning views, gardens and perfect facilities, plus a very comfy bed!

We loved the location & surrounds of the lily pad, very quiet & relaxing. Julie was a most welcoming host that left us to ourselves.

Lovely accommodation. Excellent facilities and support from Julie, the owner. Would definitely recommend a car even though UBERS in to Byron Bay town centre between 12-14 AUD You feel InTouch with nature when you stay at the Lily Pad.

No problem for us but guests do need a car.

Beautifully designed, exceptionally spacious self contained accommodation. Excellent furniture and furnishings. Well equipped kitchen. Wonderful setting in private garden.

This is a beautiful, well appointed self contained little oasis is the hills. Just enough out of town to be outside from busy Byron Bay township, yet only a 5 minute drive into town. Offering privacy, surrounded by gorgeous gardens and the most beautiful sounding birds day and night. This was a very comfortable little oasis during our stay.

Provisioning issues. One bath towel provided per person for 2 day stay. Wet Weather, no drier and no heated towel rail meant using wet towels. Two coffee pods provided so will need to bring your own or drive to town if staying for more than one night.

Serene, spacious and immaculate.

Be sure to read the information about the rubbish so as not to mix up organic materials with landfill as there are composting facilities and a three bin system and recycling is separated into glass and other materials.

The location was stunning! Gorgeous gardens and spacious and beautifully decorated interior and so peaceful and private. The bed was luxuriously comfy and all the facilities were top notch. I loved how it felt and away from the hustle and bustle of town yet conveniently close to drive to the beach and shops. I wish we could have stayed longer!

The minute I arrived at Lily pad I was at peace. The cabin is perfectly designed to take in the lush gardens and tranquil landscape. The amenities are outstanding and the linens were very luxurious. You can relax is this private space or be in the busy streets of Byron within 5 minutes drive. I loved my stay at lily pad and hope to return one day.

Leaving!

In all of my years of travel, I can safely say that Lily Pad was one of the most relaxed, peaceful and beautifully presented properties I have stayed at, it wasn’t’ ‘crazy glitzy’ but it was certainly the only place where I felt 100% comfortable and relaxed and sad to leave. The gardens were a stand out and the villa was prefect in every way. Our hosts Linda & Paul greeted us and showed us around the left us alone (a to other hosts) they even ‘secretly’ left us some fresh eggs for breakfast and some limes for our evening drinks. I can’t thanks them enough for being perfect hosts.

The location was perfect for two of us. It was so quiet and peaceful yet it was only less than 10mins drive to town centre and the beach. The studio was very clean and spacious. It was surrounded by beautiful tropical garden. We could see trees from everywhere! The kitchen was also very well equipped and enjoyed cooking and having meals at the studio! It was an truely oasis! Thank you Julie, we will visit again.

It was a little disconcerting not having blinds or curtains at the full-length windows to the front. However as the property is so secluded one assumes they are not necessary.

It was beautifully furnished and very well equipped. Excellent laundry facilities, an outside shower, lovely grounds, very peaceful.

Love everything about this place - extremely comfortable, with everything we possibly need. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful.

Perfect location! Private, clean, specious! It has EVERYTHING you might need and more! The best hosts I’ve ever dealt with, I felt like part of the family! My fiancé and I couldn’t believe how amazing this place is! We’ve been going to Byron for years and this is FOR SURE the best place we’ve ever stayed at!! Simply PERFECT!! We can’t wait to come back!

We had expected a 2 bedroom villa for 2 people as that is what we booked through Booking.com. even though the booking site allowed us to book a 2-bed villa for 2 people, this appears to be an error with the site, as it is a one-bedroom villa. There is an extra villa onsite; however, this is reserved for more than 2 people. This ended up fine for us as we are a couple, though we always prefer 2 bedrooms so we can sleep better :) But you would be pretty disappointed if you were travelling with someone you were uncomfortable sharing a bed with. There is only one small coffee pod per person for your stay, so if you need a couple of coffees to start your day, come prepared.

It is a beautiful place to stay, super close to town but far enough away that it is so peaceful and in stunning surroundings. We managed to walk to town during the day, but it is not really pedestrian-friendly at night, though we did it and enjoyed the walk! The villa was really clean and had beautiful facilities. The villa has everything you need to cook and clean if you want to, even a small supply of oil, salt and pepper, etc, which was really handy. The outdoor shower is really great, and the gardens are immaculate. It was lovely to lay on the outside lounger at night to star gaze. It's a serene, calming environment, and we didn't want to leave. The host was lovely too, kindly giving us an early check-in and a late check-out.

Nothing really but one thing to note is that we will require a car, but to us it was worth being on the quiet side of byron. I definitely will come back

The location is secluded, quiet inside a beautiful property surrounded by a well maintained garden . The villa was clean and the owner was lovely addressing any questions we had.

A peaceful oasis but only a short drive from Byron city centre and beaches. Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Very friendly and responsive hosts.

Beautifully landscaped gardens provided relaxation and serenity. The seclusion of the property allowed for ultimate privacy. The property was fully stocked with products in the kitchen and bathroom which allowed for a comfortable stay.
