Parking is shocking around Byron Bay, The Shire is greedy and tourists will stop coming when you have a $5 per hour parking policy - so you get a coffee for $3.50 and pay $10 parking!! Ridiculous!! So you have lost me Byron Bay. Problem is, you can’t even park in the street to check in (maybe they should have a private spot)
Parking at hotel is excellent once you have checked in, at the hotel car park
I feel sorry for any business in Byron Bay as in my opinion, the Shire will close them up with their greedy policies!!
