The Brunswick, Brunswick Heads

Cozy little motel just a short drive from Byron Bay! Perfect for road trips.

I spotted this place on Instagram a while back and finally booked for a visit and it did not dissapoint! The rooms and decor were wonderful, tidy and clean with lovely details. The service was great and every aspect was wonderful. A must if you are staying in Brunswick Heads!

We loved our stay at the Brunswick. Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to the Bushfires. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the staff friendly. It’s a relaxed place with a beautiful swimming pool and handy Mexican restaurant directly across the road.

Little great gem, from moment we checked in the experience was easy, good amenities and love the free bike hire to ride around the area. Rooms were modern and bed super comfy for a short stay. Would recommend to anyone who wishes to stay at a great little gem and would come back. Thank you for making the experience great for our weekend getaway.

This is an amazing place. They’ve taken an original motel on the old pacific hwy and made it such a cool hotel. Rooms are spacious and incredibly the clean. Booking was simple, the pre arrival contact was super professional and the staff are seriously good. The girl that checked me in was so friendly and welcoming. The hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the pub, which is a destination in itself. Whenever I’m working in Ballina or Byron I make this my stopover.

Old hotel renovated to a relaxed modern style. A desk and chair would have been good as there was minimal furniture. Beautiful Leif products in the bathroom and sink. Air conditioning didn't work well but there was a ceiling fan which was nice and quiet. Bit noisy in the morning with people departing early. Had the best meal at the mexican place across the street which was so convenient. Small bike ride around town was cool too.

I totally enjoyed my seven-night stay at The Brunswick. My room was spotless, spacious and well-appointed, and unlike many hotels I’ve stayed in, the wifi never dropped out. The staff, especially Alice, could not have been more helpful and efficient. My only niggle - the bedside lights can’t be switched off from the bed, but still, I would highly recommend.

Lovely clean hotel with gorgeous Palm Springs vibe & decor. The girls that work there were all really lovely also. The pool & cute caravan in the backyard added to the charm. Easy walk to the beach, pub & restaurants.

I was always told that ‘fools and their money are easily parted’, and more fool I for spending in excess of $310 a night to stay at the Brunswick; an old highway motel that has been (not very well) repainted white and then more over ambitiously photographed than your last Tinder date. And less charm too, with more blank walls than the nearest mental health facility. A failed attempt at Palm Springs styling, a place which couldn’t have felt farther away. Highlights of our stay included reusing the previous day’s towels, that had to be left to age in the mouldy bathroom without a fan (photos below), the complete absence of any customary inclusions (such as a bottle of water, lotion, shampoo or conditioner) which wasn’t particularly problematic, given the transitory supply of hot water from the limpid shower. I would also warn others not to fail to observe in the hotel’s photos that the sink is in the bedroom. Upon raising the issue of beach towels, I was informed that the hotel’s washing machine had broken, which begs the question of whether a hotel that charges so much ought have more than one day’s towel contingency. To be fair, the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. The pool also looked more appealing than any I had seen at similar motels. A fair price would have been circa $200.
