The Sunseeker

A roadside motel given a bold retro makeover, about five minutes from Byron Bay township on Bangalow Road. The red-brick facade has been kept, and the grounds hold a lagoon-style pool, a fire pit, a tiki bar and a cabana bar beside the original pebblecrete pool. Stay in a motel room, a freestanding bungalow or the three-bedroom house.
