A laneway address just off the main drag puts Drifter closer to the action than most Byron stays, without the noise that comes with it. Lateen Lane sits within walking distance of the beach, the cafes, and the chaos, but feels a step removed from all three. The name signals the vibe: unhurried, coastal, pitched at travellers who want comfort without the resort machinery. Without guest reviews to draw on yet, the positioning speaks for itself. This is mid-to-upper-tier Byron accommodation in a town where that bracket fills fast, particularly across summer and long weekends. Book well ahead regardless of when you're coming. Byron's accommodation market is unforgiving to the unprepared, and the central laneway location means this one won't sit empty long.

Honestly the hostel is just alright considering the price as it’s a bit higher price than other hostels nearby. Room was a bit filthy and sandy and the rooms don’t seem throughly cleaned, as the bunk stairs and under the locker are dusty. But I liked that each bed has a curtain securing privacy as well as a private bathroom. And to be fair it’s not the hostel’s problem how dirty the guests use the room. And shoutout to Michaela, she is a really amazing staff dealing with loooots of lost and found inquiries back to back on her own and still very friendly and kind. Overall not a bad experience at Drifter!

Great location and close to everything. Cleaning - shower tab and bath tabs have a marks on them, a few hairs on the bed. Room is nice and cozy. Decorated beautifully. I booked via Egencia and it was business travel. All I need clean bed and place to sleep. I have to note the hotel looks like more as a hostel with a lots of students so it was a bit noisy at night in the corridor and constant sound of closing doors.

Elements of Byron
Byron Bay
Forty-five acres of coastal wetland, freestanding villas pointed at the trees, and private beach access. Elements sits deliberately apart from Byron's centre. The distance from the main strip isn't a drawback; it's the whole idea.
Raes on Wategos
Wategos Beach
The only property sitting directly on Wategos Beach, Raes trades on position and a long-running restaurant reputation. Mediterranean in feel, small in scale, and priced accordingly. If you're going to spend up in Byron, the address alone makes a reasonable argument.
