Vali by Village

Main Beach , Byron Bay

500 metres from Belongil Beach, Vali by Village is located in Byron Bay and offers free WiFi and a tour desk. Featuring a sun terrace, this property is situated near attractions such as Clarkes Beach. The property is non-smoking and is set 500 metres from Main Beach.

Cape Byron Lighthouse is 3.2 km from the hostel, while Byron Bay Golf Course is 4.1 km away. The nearest airport is Ballina Byron Gateway Airport, 25 km from Vali by Village. I don't know why anybody would book another hostel in Byron when this place exists. I've never stayed in such a perfect hostel (but that's like, a personal thing I guess), and for the price what you get is absolutely insane. I arrived on a 14 hour greyhound bus from Sydney and was only supposed to check in at 14pm. Not only did the guy at the reception let me check in early, but he also upgraded my room from an 8 person dorm to a 4 person dorm (a blessing and a course, because everyone in this hostel is so nice that sleeping in a bigger dorm must be so so fun!!) My room had a private bathroom, but there are public male/female bathrooms for rooms that don't have privates - everything is amazingly clean and newly renovated. The bathroom in my room had shampoo, conditioner and body gel & lotion. (Not sure if the public ones have this as well) The hostel holds activities such as BBQ night, free daily yoga, free boxing classes, surf lessons etc, the common area is still in the work (the whole place is new and being renovated - there isn't any noise though if that's worrying you) but I'm sure it's gonna turn out amazing, right now the best place to meet other travelers are the lobby and the kitchen, which are both great, clean and fun to hang out in. The rooms are spacious and private, the beds have curtains, and the whole thing feels more like a hotel than a hostel facility wise. The lobby is fantastic and has a big TV with Netflix on it! The friends I met there and I watched movies every night in the reception area which really made my stay even nicer. Overall, this is truly an amazing place. Great shout out to the amazing kind staff. So thankful for this stay and kept extending and extending because how can you leave such a place.
