Cavvanbah - Beachfront Accommodation Byron Bay - Byron Bay, New South Wales

A real Nighmare!
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO AVOID THIS HOTEL IN EVERY WAY!

We came over from Switzerland. We were travelling for a month inside Australia when we were looking forward to stay there for 2 Nights. We planned to stay there from 28th Jan - 30st Jan in Villa Rio.
As we arrived, we found lots of insects such as Ants and other living things in the Bed and Bathroom. The room ceiling was moldy above the bed. The smell of the room was also moldy... so we decided to immediately contact the management to get another Room. But 1st there was nothing else available and 2nd it was impossible to reach someone since it was Sunday when we checked in. So we had no other choice than to book another Hotel nearby. Since we couldn't stay there because of the health risks staying in a moldy room. Later we tried to get refunded for the room via email... we never received any answer on that. So we just lost our money and got no room or service at all.

They just rob your money and you get no service at all for it! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO AVOID THIS HOTEL IN EVERY WAY!

I a leaving this review as I have now have written twice to the business and tried to get through many times via phone but have had no response. I booked April Sun and and I can see from reviews now that others have been as disappointed as I was. The furniture is broken and in bad shape, the villa is just a room with a bed and the amenities are not what they say they are. After one night I moved to other accommodation and did not receive any response or reimbursement from Cavanabah. The lack of response and false advertising in their descriptions tells me that they truly don’t care about robbing tourists.

We stayed in April Sun, described on their website as a luxury villa. This "luxury villa" is a 6m x 6m bungalow at best. There's no real separate sitting or lounge space.

The fittings and fixtures are pretty ordinary, the "well stocked kitchenette" is a sink with a tacky benchtop hotplate and equally tacky dishes. Don't use the bathroom in the middle of the night and turn the light on. The stiff sliding translucent doors will light up the bedroom like a Xmas tree. And the shower screen leaks.

And, for what you pay, you discover that the "villa" doesn't get serviced unless you pay extra for the privilege.

It's okay as an ordinary room but the "luxury villa" tag is seriously misleading.

Amazing getaway with hubby... clean rooms, quick walk to beach, private pool was perfect to unwind, aircon was great and the outdoor bath was our highlight!! Definitely recommend this place!

This negative review is unfortunately for communication concerns. I have been attempting to contact for the past 5 days regarding issue with accommodation operated by the Cavvanbah admin team that I stayed in last weekend, however despite emails and phone calls (voice message), I have received no communication back to date (have spoken to housekeeping team, it is not an issue they can help resolve).
I ask only to be able to speak so we can discuss and hopefully resolve the issue, but given I have had no communication it is unfortunate I am needing to leave this negative review. It is my hope that the Cavvanbah admin team will contact me back.

Cavvanbah will always be a place I'll hold close to my heart as it was where my husband and I stayed for our honeymoon October 2020.
We felt like we were in our own little sanctuary. The bed was very comfortable, the TV was awesome and everything was immaculately clean! We arrived a little later, after long hours of driving that day. As soon as we got to our villa, I instantly felt relaxed and calm (which is not always the case when I arrive at a new place). The room lighting was super impressive. I loved being able to adjust the lights to a softer dim. I hate "hospital-type lighting", that I've experienced in some hotel rooms. But after a long day, it was amazing to turn the lights right down but not completely off, and relax in the outdoor Bali bath! The greenery and plants surrounding us were just gorgeous!! I loved soaking in the Bali bath and looking up at the tropical leaves and blue sky.
My husband and I loved how everything was walking distance. Stepping on the beach from our villa took seconds!! We prefer walking over driving, so being able to walk to town for breakfast was so lovely.
My first experience in Byron Bay was unforgettable, thanks to the staff at Cavvanbah! I would recommend this place to everyone! I Cannot wait to stay again!

Amazing boutique accommodation. My partner and I had a beautiful, romantic escape when we stayed here. The owner was very friendly and helpful, yet our privacy was completely maintained. The location is wonderful, just a stroll to anywhere in Byron and the sound of the surf was easily enough to let us drift away in the tranquility of the uber lush surrounds. We can't wait to go back. Thanks.

The place is very conveniently located within walking distances to the main street, or you can walk along the beach to get to town. The complex was very quiet regardless of other guests staying in the other villas. Beach is so close, just out the back gate over the train line and through a little bush track. Thanks for the lovely stay.
