Great place, had everything we needed. And great spot with a great bakery and restaurants, also close enough to the centre of Byron.

  Wow! I love this experience! I felt like I was staying in a cozy little, quiet village on a non-touristy Greek island during the off season!! Such a fabulous Mediterranean... read more holiday vibe of ease and comfort... I even cooked differently, inspired by the vibes Donatella nurtures. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves, the ocean air and breezes, one of the best places ever to sleep! And everything is so thoughtfully considered for a guest's comfort by Donatella. And NEXT LEVEL CLEAN!! I don't know how she achieves such cleanliness... epic. All the vibes are just so idyllic for a relaxed chill.

  Six stars.

  Donatellas place was perfect for my solo study trip up to Byron. Great location close to Suffolk shops and 2 minute walk to the beach. The cottage itself is so... read more well thought out and has everything you need to be comfortable in your home away from home. I loved all the small touches like organic products in the bathroom, filtered water and a heater for the cold winter mornings. The bed was soo comfy and I really appreciated the linen sheets. It is a small cottage so it's cosy but perfect for one person or a couple. x

  This was my second visit to Donatella’s cottage at Suffolk Park. Its brilliantly located just across from the beach, private, super clean, has everything you need and a short walk... read more to the local coffee shop. What more do you want!

  What was originally meant to be a week stay turned into 2.5 weeks at The White Cottage partly due to an extension of plans and also Lockdown. It is such... read more a lovely and comfortable stay and Donatella has been a amazing host. So friendly, flexible, helpful and accomodating.

What’s usually most important to me is peace and quiet and a comfortable bed. The bed is honestly the comfiest Airbnb bed I’ve slept in and top 5 mattresses I’ve slept in anywhere and I spend at least 60% of my year away even during Covid times. I didn’t even need to use the mattress topper I travel with.

The cottage although compact is extremely well kitted out and stylishly decorated. The outdoor area is such a delight with a daybed and swinging egg chair, gorgeous native plants and the sound of the ocean and birds soothing you. Although I didn’t use the bike it was thoughtful touches like this that I appreciated.

The location just a couple of houses down from the beach, down the street from grocery, pharmacy and restaurants was very convenient even though I had a car.

Communication was prompt, friendly and excellent. I can highly recommend this place as a convenient, peaceful, comfortable place to stay just a short few minutes from Byron bay. Thanks Donatella!

  Stayed here for a weekend getaway and were so impressed when we arrived. The cottage is beautifully appointed and has a lovely ourdoor area to hang out in. We even... read more took the two push bikes supplied out on a day trip trough byron which was great fun! Nice and close to the beach and has a good bakery and bottle shop close by. Would definitely recommend to check this place out for your next stay!

  Donatella's space is nothing short of perfection. The pictures do it absolutely no justice. The minute you walk in the gate of this gorgeous cottage you can feel the... read more amount of love and attention to detail that went into creating this little piece of paradise. Donatella thought of absolutely everything when designing this space. From the smell of fresh flowers that greet you as you walk in the door, to the beach towels, extra blankets, organic toiletries, plush towels, and lovely porch swing - you almost don't want to leave the cottage to explore! On the walls are all these beautiful sayings of self affirmation and positive thoughts related to the beach setting the tone for your vacation. It was absolute bliss!

Not only is the space beautiful, you are literally a stone's throw from the beautiful Tallow beach. If that beach isn't enough for you, Donatella has a welcome pack put together telling you about the area and all of the secret local spots that are worth checking out. My sister and I spent three days here and checked out 5 of the beaches in the packet! The famous Suffolk Bakery is a two minute walk from the front door and Byron is a short 10 minute drive.

Check in was super easy, as Donatella sent detailed instructions and maps on how to find the White Cottage and do a self check-in. We did happen to lock ourselves out by accident and Donatella was quick to reply to our text and let us in.

The White Cottage exceeded all expectations! If you are planning a trip to Byron look no further!

Donatella, thank you for everything! You made our trip more than just memorable. So look forward to seeing you next year at your little piece of paradise!

  If I could give 10 stars for location I would! The bikes were a fantastic bonus and allowed us to get around Byron without worrying about parking. The home itself... read more was beautiful and tranquil and it was a beautiful escape for the weekend.

  Very small accommodation and claustrophobic, No dishwasher, no oven just an unclean cook top with variable heated plates, tiny fridge, television set in the bedroom and not in the family... read more area, no Foxtel, could not get the microwave oven to work, no potato peeler to peel some vegetables, salad servers but no large salad bowl , no glad wrap and no paper towels, no toilet roll holder, no bars of soap , outdoor shower did not work, irregularly stone pathway that was not well lit coming in at night and could have caused a fall injury; drinking glasses looked unclean and had to be rewashed before use
Definitely well below the standard of other airbnbs that we have enjoyed, even in the same area. Not worth the money considering the size and lack of amenities. However the walking distance to Tallows Beach and the 2 bicycles provided were appreciated. Felt like I was ripped off and a wanted my money back . Having paid a high cleaning fee expected the cleanliness of the kitchen to be spotless

  I loved every minute of my stay at The Little White Cottage and felt right at home.
