Top choice in Byron Bay
The NYC-inspired Bower is a former motel that's undergone a luxury makeover straight from the pages of an interior-design magazine (and now features in them). Expect luxury linen and excellent features and finishes. Take a dip in the circular heated mineral pool or jump on a Lekker bike to the beach.
Opt for a superior suite set back from the road to avoid traffic noise.
