I've stayed here a few times now because they offer awesome value for money, in my experience and opinion. I have searched for a place to stay around Byron for the last 5 years and in my opinion Glen Villa has offered the best bang for $$$. It offers numerous options which are generally relatively cheap when compared to other options. Having stayed there now over the course of 4 different years, I really appreciate just how convenient and what good value for money they are.

Nice holiday park but for the price the property needs some work. Basic things like flywire screens for the cabins, & umbrellas for the pool area for sun protection really short be included for basic traveller comfort & safely.

Dear Matthew, thank you for choosing Glen Villa Resort. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Our prices are reflecting the current market in Byron Bay, including our location, the service provided and the season. Every cabin is equipped of mosquito screen. Only entrance door for the cabins are not equipped with a mosquito screen for safety reasons. You are absolutely right for the sun umbrellas. We will try to implement that before your next visit. We still hope you had a lovely stay. Kind regards,
Another great stay the room could do with a bit of maintenance ….curtains falling of tracks etc ,but a great place to stay

Dear Peter, thank you for choosing Glen Villa Resort. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We are trying to work on the cabins currently. Thank you for your nice review and we hope to see you soon again. Kind regards, Glen Villa Resort
Got the share bathroom cabins. Listed as having aircon and it doesn’t- was exceptionally hot with limited airflow. Cabin also only has a lockable screen door and curtain. Property is not as advertised. The shared bathroom and kitchen facilities are good but 0 pressure in the ladies showers, could barely have a shower. General facilities are good, but advertising air conditioning and having not even a fan was NOT acceptable. Asked for an iron and ironing board as well - didn’t get it (was on request).

Dear Sarah, we are sorry to read you didn't enjoy your stay at Glen Villa. Regarding the aircon, we are advertising aircon in cabins. However, you didn't book a cabin, but a hut, which is slightly different than a cabin. If you are looking online, you will see that we are not advertising huts being equipped with aircon. Huts are equipped with a fan or a heater on request. You have to contact the reception to ask for one. You are right about the iron, you requested it and our team forgot to place it in your hut, we are apologising for this inconvenience. However, when something like that happens, please feel free to contact the reception to request it. We are really sorry you encountered difficulties, but so you know in the future, our friendly team at the reception is here to provide everything you need, and to fix issues, such as the pressure in the shower. We will talk to the maintenance team today to fix the issues in the female's bathroom. If you would like to raise more concerns, feel free to contact us via email or phone call. Kind regards, Glen Villa Resort.
Dear Barbara, thank you for choosing Glen Villa. You are right, we are offering free parking spots in front of the cabins or directly on the camping sites. We are trying to provide as much space as possible for people to park and enjoy their space. Trees can take a bit of space on some spots, but they are bringing shades that our guests are particularly happy to have during the summer. If you are coming to Byron, don't hesitate to book with us again. Kind regards, Glen Villa Resort

Dear Rosalie, thank you very much for choosing to stay with Glen Villa Resort. It is, indeed, a really nice spot, so quiet and surrounded by nature, while still being in the centre of Byron Bay. Practical during holidays when we don't want to drive too much. Everything in Byron Bay is accessible by walking, including the beach. But having a swimming pool is also a nice option when our guests want to relax in a quiet environment. Kind regards, Glen Villa Resort.

Dear Susan, thank you very much for your review. You are right, we are directly in the centre of Byron Bay, everything is in a walking distance, which our guest appreciate a lot, leaving the motorhome and roaming around by walking. Still, we are making a point of honour to provide the most quiet environment to our guests. If you come back to Byron Bay, please don't hesitate to come back to visit us. Kind regards, Glen Villa Resort.
Not really worth the money. Had this place been $120 a night I could have ignored the dated cabin and dirty crockery (we had to wash everything up ourselves). I’d expect better for the price, even in Byron Bay. The bed was comfy and the location is good, but still not justifiable. Have stayed in much better for less.

Dear guest, we are sincerely sorry about the dirty cutlery. We have high standards in terms of cleanliness. We'll talk about it to our cleaning team, this is not acceptable. If you would like to talk more about your experience at Glen Villa Resort, we are inviting you to send us an email so we can talk more in details about it. Kind regards, Glen Villa Resort.
I was delightfully surprised by this property. It was perfectly located within quick walking distance of shops, restaurants, beach, etc. The staff were so friendly & helpful & the entire property was immaculately clean & well kept. I will definitely be staying here again!

Great location, neat and tidy site. It was nice to have a table and chairs outside on the verandah. Most of the staff were lovely and helpful. The cabin size was good but furniture wasnt right for the size of it. The 2 beds were so old and the mattresses sagged all the way down to the floor. I am a petite person so it wasnt due to my weight. The beds need to be replaced, as do the pillows and covers.

Hello Julie,Your response has worried us and upon looking for the booking we found out you stayed with us over a year ago.This is why we think this review might not be directed to us?Kind regards,
Bad policy for cleaner to trash our belonging, when we left behind, should have kept for us to retrieve it. Not happy as the wife nagged me about this $50 Obagi face cleaner bottle.

Hello Sanh,Thank you for your review. We are sorry that your facial cleaner got thrown out, but normally we only safeguard things like clothes, electronica and jewellery.Kind regards,
It was ok. Expected at least a toilet and shower in the hut for $111 a night. No aircon and door was just a fly screen, so the birds will have you up by 5 am.

Hi André,Thank you very much for your review.The huts are our most budget option, the studio cabins would be better suited because they do have a bathroom, kitchenette and more space in there.Kind regards,
A pleasant two night stay on our road trip. Cabin was comfortable and well equipped.
