Guest Reviews
- Ken (10/5): Great property. Will stay there again. - The property was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The location was perfect for access to the beach and town, all within walking distance.
- Matthew (9/5): - Location was great. 100m walk from the beach. Good amenities in the apartment as well. Short walk from town. Private. Cafe’s and restaurants close by. The equipment provided wasn’t in the greatest shape, the bicycles definitely need servicing.
- sarah (10/5): -
- Carlo and Diane (9/5): Great stay - hope to return - Close to beach and not far from shops. Great to have bikes and surfboards
- Deb (10/5): - Everything! Amazing place, and they've thought of everything. The garage is a little cluttered, so had to jiggle things around to fit my car
- Andrew (7/5): Great location, comfortable stay. - Location excellent. Comfortable living room. Sea breezes. Dirty shade cloths. Check out communication poor.
- Tim (9/5): The unit was perfect for two people with all the facilities needed. - The bbq was in poor condition and needs replacing.
- Georgia (9/5): - We had a fantastic stay at Franche! The location was unbeatable just a short walk to the shops, main beaches, and the beautiful lighthouse trail. The apartment was spotless and well-equipped, making it easy to cook meals and unwind. Highly recommend!
- Susan (7/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): Had a great time. Thanks. - Great Location / nice neat unit / really liked that the extra touches that were there - a rain brolly (not needed but there if we did), the beach brolly, the bikes (we couldn't work out the bike lock(s) but if we needed we would have rang -so all good), the boards, the coffee machine etc ..... walk to town and a literal jump to the beach and coffee shop. Not so much a dislike but a heads up that on site parking is a must in Byron (and is available at the unit for free) but you won't be able to fit a big car in. That could mean paid parking elsewhere unless you get lucky like we did close by.
- Kiera (10/5): - Gorgeous clean little home just a walk away from town in one direction and the lighthouse in the other!
- Janine (10/5): Great place, location and loved being in the treetops. - Great location and well appointed. We loved it. Will be back.
- Italo Rafael (9/5): -
- Jane Watt (8/5): Great location in busy surf town. - Location close to great swimming beach, and great outdoor patio area. Tiny kitchen, but able to do basic cooking.
- Georgia (10/5): 7 days of pure bliss, only a short stroll to the beach. - I loved how clean it was with modern/coastal furnishings. It had everything we needed for our stay. Plus the bikes and the beach umbrellas definitely were a bonus! Nothing !
- CHERYL (4/5): -
- Ann (8/5): -
- stephen (9/5): Excellent we would definitely stay again - The garage door being broken but it did not effect our stay as we didnt need
- Laura (10/5): Beautiful relaxing stay - Very testeful decoration, and very much appreciated the little extras (bikes, body boards etc). Highly recommend, would love to return! Our car didn’t fit into the garage but there was enough free parking space around so no problem
- Richard (9/5): Superb -
- Greg (4/5): Disappointing - The place was in a good location for our needs. Having a garage was good and access to bikes and boards. Was given incorrect wifi info. Sliding bedroom door lock was very old and wouldn't latch which meant we could not lock up the apartment. Dishes were dirty. Place was a little tired.

- Jonathan (10/5): Second stay at this beautiful gem. Couldn’t be happier. -
- Bernadette (10/5): Superb location, clean, well equipped and a beautiful spacious apartment - Everything about this accomodation was top notch. The apartment exceeded expectations, was actually larger than the photos and was extremely well equipped with everything you could think of including beach towels, umbrella, toiletries, plenty of towels, cooking equipment, BBQ etc. Outdoor balcony was beautiful and is around all sides, so very spacious. Place was super clean, ideal location - just at start of the lighthouse walk and very short walk to beach across the road. Close enough to walk to shops and central areas, although quiet at night and beautiful area. Loved our visit to Byron Bay and very much hope to book this spot again. Nothing at all - it was amazing!

- Carol (8/5): We had a lovely relaxing stay. - The location was good, with bikes & boogie boards in the garage. A very comfortable lounge. Good patio areas, sunny & shady.
- Anton (9/5): Superb - The property was in walking distance of everything. And the owners were lovely and accommodating.
- Alan (9/5): We had a great time; the town and surrounding area is fabulous and the whales are a delight to watch - This is our third visit to Franche Brise a la Mer and we like it a lot. The location is superb. It is ten minutes walk from Bryon Bay centre and just a few minutes from the beach. It is quiet but not isolated. Wi-Fi is good. The bed is extremely comfortable. The balcony is the icing on the cake. The host is lovely and we met her on the last day. Nothing, really.
- Nada (10/5): Exceptional -

- Nick (9/5): Superb -

- Louise (10/5): We had a beautiful 3 night stay, and loved every minute of it. - It was just over the road from a beautiful beach, and down the road from the lighthouse.
It was a tastefully decorated one bedroom unit with laundry, and lovely balcony with barbecue, plus push bikes and soft boards available for use in the garage as well as board games to play .
We were really impressed. It only had a bar fridge even though it was a full kitchen (but I don’t know where they could fit a full sized fridge).
Plus the garage only fits a small car, but we always found free parking in the small street accessing our apartment.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Veronica (9/5): Superb - Everything was thought of to make our stay comfortable with a beautiful apartment and location.

- Lawrence (8/5): Very good -
- Marta (9/5): Great as always! - Fantastic location, short walk to the beach and town.
- Meredith (10/5): Amazing Stay in Byron Bay - This was the most perfect apartment. The description doesn't do it justice! Location is fantastic, beach 5 minutes walk, as well as at the start of the lighthouse trail. TopShop (best coffee) is at the top of the street.
The apartment is in a quiet block with so many nice extras. I've never slept in a more comfortable bed!
The owners also leave bikes and various surf/body boards free to use. If we come back to Byron we will only stay here! Nothing not to like!
