Planula Bed & Breakfast Retreat

Our room was nothing like the photos on their website which we felt was false advertising. We had booked for 3 nights but left after one. Whilst our garden room was large, it was extremely basic and tired. We had no wardrobe (only a timber hanging frame) no coat hangers (I had to ask for some), no tissues or water glasses. The bathroom was extremely small & tired with many repairs needed. At night there were no outside lights and we had to use our phone light to get into our room. We were expecting a cooked breakfast (as B&B's provide unless otherwise stated) but were greeted with a very basic continental breakfast instead . Wandy, our hostess was very sweet & apologetic when we told her we were not happy BUT when we did leave the following morning her husband Tim approached us and was extremely rude & aggressive. It was not for us !

As we followed the GPS we went down the dirt road and found a little oasis hidden away. The owner were friendly and welcoming. We went up to our room and just loved the feel of the place. Our room was like a attic with a deck, There was no TV and I understand why it would ruin the serenity of the place. There was unlimited Wifi so we could still watch things on our tablets phones etc. The price included a continental breakfast, hand baked blueberry muffins and a great choice of beverages, cereals, and toppings. Breakfast outside was just gorgeous with birds. High recommend for anyone wanting to get away from the noise and traffic.

My wife & I stayed here for our wedding anniversary. Great location but above all best value for money in Byron Bay. Breakfast included in the package is a great bonus. Wendy was an excellent host who went out her way to accomodate for our needs. We will definitely come back here again.
