Basil's Brush - Boutique Accomodation, Byron Bay Hinterland

This is a beautiful property in a peaceful location with breathtaking views. Everything is provided for a peaceful and a relaxing getaway. We had spent a long weekend with a group of friends relaxing on the veranda soaking up the views and enjoining the serenity. Easy access to charming places like Bangalow, Federal and Byron Bay. We would highly recommend this property.

Basil's Brush is a beautiful house in a beautiful location with beautiful views. My family and 2 other families - all with small children - were looking forward to a weekend away. The place has a pool, so we were especially looking forward to spending much of the hot weekend swimming.

Unfortunately, a dead rat in a very dirty pool dampened our arrival. The owner indicated the cleaners had given the all clear on the pool days earlier, but the rat's life and pool filter had both clearly stopped much earlier than 4 days previous.

We enjoyed our time in the house and on the deck very much, but despite a pool cleaner coming on the first day to sort out the pool, no-one swam during our stay - the water only cleared up at the end of our stay.

After our departure, my wife left her phone charger at the house and requested the owner to assist in it's return. He indicated that he would chase it up with the cleaners, but this did not occur.

So despite the wonderful house, there is much to be desired either with the cleaners, the communication between the owner and the cleaners, or - most probably - in how it is managed.
