FIrst of all the landlord and the manager of this small place are both really nice people. They welcomed me and help me with anything I needed. They rented dvd for us to watch at night every night, cooked us free meals twice a week and took us surfing whenever we wanted. The landlord Veronica helped a lot of backpackers staying at the house to find some jobs in town with her contacts which was really helpful. The manager Brett took us to a lot of different surfing spot and he was more like a cool friend to hang out with than a bossy manager. The vibes at this place were always really chill and it felt more like a surfing house that you would rent with your best buddies than like a hostel. I arrived in Byron and stayed at the Art Factory and had to pay 27$ a night to have a crappy bed, having to pay a deposit to rent a blanket, a lock, some glasses and cup ?!? you end up paying 55$ just for all the deposit. THats why i was so happy to move to casa del surf..because they treat you like a member of their family more than like a backpacker who they can make money on them. I stayed 1 month at Casa Del Surf and recommended it to all of my friends backpackers I met after that. I went to Alice Spring and decided to come back to Byron Bay to spend some more time just because I liked it so much there.

Well this place is amazing, all I needed was there. I,d rather be staying over there where you feel like being at home then being in an other ordinary backpacker. There is a nice living room with plenty couches, which is a must! I just had the best time of my life and get to know extraordinary people! The place is so chilled out, close to town & grossery store & beaches spots. You can,t go wrong going there, before I was paying double price in a backpacker and just realised I was stupid when I saw this place, surfer,s heaven, seriously! You got free meals twice a week & someone is there that can lift you to surf spots. Off the hook!
