Amigos Guesthouse, Byron Bay, Australia

AMIGOS is CLOSING on 12 November 2012 - a few rooms stiull available until then.

Amigos mean 'friends'. Here you can enjoy the sunshine, the sea, the rainforest and the warmth of a friendly house. You'll find a relaxed beach house atmosphere with a lively Latin influence. A place to meet other travellers as well as friendly Aussies.

The house has a big comfortable living room filled with books, magazines, games and music for your enjoyment. It opens to a sunny deck and garden ... where you can laze in a hammock under the shade of the pergola. We're quiet here after 10 pm and there's no TV, and no smoking anywhere on the property.

Amigos have the most comfortable beds you'll ever find on your travels, in double, single or twin rooms (no dorms). Crisp white sheets and big soft towels. There's also good coffee, gourmet teas, and fresh oranges for you to juice, all free. And bicycles, with a small contribution for maintenance.

We can help you arrange a massage, or find a nice restaurant, from fine dining to good value. Do surf or dive course, visit the rainforest, go sea kayaking to see dolphins and whales, climb a mountain, go to a craft market ... whatever you want to make your holiday relaxing and fun.

We have an optional $5 good value help-yourself breakfast, or you can try any of the many cafes nearby - 2 to 10 minutes’ walk. The kitchen at Amigos is available for you to use occasionally.

At Amigos, you're invited to feel at home, be yourself, relax and enjoy everything this beautiful region has to offer.
