Alcheringa Numinbah (east) House, Lamington NP.
Extremely grateful to Tony for organising the house at the last minute for my birthday getaway. The photos truly don’t do it justice — the experience is so much more than we expected. The vast mountains surrounding the property are absolutely magical. Every detail in the house is simple yet thoughtfully chosen, creating a cosy and unique atmosphere. The story behind the house is incredible — we could really feel the love and effort that went into building it. So grateful that Tony opened his doors for others to experience this special place. We’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend it to others.

That Little Suffolk Beach House Amazing Location
It was such a nice experience to stay at David and Sandra's place. The house has everything you need to make yourself at home. David was very attentive and responsive at all times. They look after the pool and facilities so that makes it very easy for you. We did not have to contact them for cleaning the pool. Before we notices it was already done before we had to ask. Place is well kept. It is close to a beautiful entrance to Tallow's beach. In spite of bad weather, we made the most out of our stay. You have everything close to you at walking distance if you do not want to go into town. Suffolk it is only 10 minutes drive from Byron Bay, so it makes things very easy. I believe it is a great location for a relaxed holiday with the family close enough to main attractions wihouth necessarilyn been in the heart of Byron. We would definitely recommend David and Sandra's beautiful home.

North Byron 'Absolute' Beachfront Boathouse
The Boathouse is an oasis of peace and quiet where the only noise you hear is the crash of waves, the patter of raindrops or the occasional bird. Although close to neighbouring properties it feels secluded and tranquil and very private. If the beach were any closer it would be lapping at the bed and cafe just around the corner could not be better. Thank you to Janene and Cameron for sharing your corner of paradise, it is truely spectacular and we can’t wait until we can return. Amanda & Clint

8 Milton Street

Memories @ Wategos Beach House with Pool Byron Bay
It’s expensive to stay in Byron but this place is really worth it. Roomy and airy and nice beachy decor. So private and quiet and an easy walk to Watego’s and a lovely short walk across the headland to the Pass cafe for a great chilled breakfast. Easy walk into town. Also easy to walk up to the Lighthouse. Helen was a great communicator and there if any help needed. Definitely recommend.

Sublime Hinterland Villa - outdoor bath - fire-pit
Third time back to Bruno’s Airbnb for us and it’s perfect every time. There something about it that allows you to relax and have some peace in the hinterland. Bruno is a legend and takes more care for his guests than I’ve ever seen. Don’t think just book.

Maui - Central - 1 min to beach. Free Parking!
Jenny’s place was great. It was extremely close to bars and restaurants and it felt like we were in the thick of it in Byron Bay. Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were there, however the apartment was awesome to hang out in. The apartment was very clean and the bed was super comfortable.

Beautiful Byron Studio
We loved our stay at Byron Bay and at Jeanine’s property. We felt right at home straight away. The property is stunning and the huge balcony was a big plus. Jeanine and her family were lovely and extremely friendly. Jeanine was very welcoming and gave some great recommendations for the local area. 10/10 stay and would definitely come again.

Clarkes Beach Studio-stroll to The Pass and CBD

I’m not sure anywhere else will ever compare to our stay. House was perfect. Location was perfect. I cannot fault anything. Thank you for allowing us time at your price of paradise.

CC's @ Byron Self Contained Studio
Great location, close to everything and a Host who was super to communicate with. I have no hesitation recommending Connor’s Airbnb as a place to stay when visiting Byron Bay. We will be back for sure! Adrian

HOST SOCIETY - Luxury on Somerset
The house, outdoor area and pool was amazing. It was very well equipped and had everything that was needed for our stay. The location of the property was another plus. Very central and within walking distance to everything. Having seven adults staying at the property, it was so well designed and spacious. There was plenty to space for us all to gather together for meals, play board games etc without feeling crammed in, but we also had our own private areas of the house for quiet time to chill and relax if we wanted. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to others.

Villa 14 Luxury 2 bedroom pool house in Byron
Hilary and Ian's gorgeous place is an absolute delight. We were so lucky to have found it. It is peaceful - yet so close to all the action of Byron Bay. The house is even better than shown in the photos. The pool is wonderful and my grandson loved swimming in the warm water. Thank you Hilary and Ian for allowing us to enjoy your gorgeous little hide-away - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

SOL VILLA ~ Luxury Retreat ~ SLEEP10
What an incredible stay! We came with our family and parents, and this beautiful home delivered on every level. From the moment we walked in, it was clear we were in for something special – stylish, spacious, and packed with charm. The kids basically lived in the pool (and slept very well because of it!), while we adults soaked up the magic of the big open fireplace each night – seriously, it’s a stunner and made the whole place feel like a luxe mountain retreat. Everything was thoughtfully set up for a comfortable, easy, and totally enjoyable stay. The layout was perfect for our group, and there was room for everyone to spread out or come together as needed. Communication was a breeze, and we felt right at home from the get-go. A huge thank you for sharing such a special space – we’re already dreaming of a return visit!

Your guide to Byron Bay
All About Byron Bay
Located in the northern reaches of New South Wales along Australia’s easternmost shores, Byron Bay is known for its sparkling blue waters, golden sand, and monster surf breaks. This coastal community has long been a destination for wave riders and, in the 1960s, people looking to explore alternative ways of living. Today, the area is more developed and attracts everyone from celebrities to families with its laid-back vibe and world-famous beaches. It’s also a popular weekend getaway for Brisbanites, who make the two-hour drive south. Explore miles of shoreline with dolphins frolicking off the coast or hike inland in the Whian Whian State Conservation Area with its tranquil waterfalls, towering cliffs, and dense forests. Back in town, the palm-lined streets host a weekly farmers market with local produce, regional coffee, and ready-to-eat meals.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Byron Bay
Keep in mind that seasonal weather patterns in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite those in North America. The warm summer months range from December through February, while the winters begin in June and run to August. However, subtropical weather patterns and seasonal variations in Byron Bay are incredibly mild, with warm, pleasant conditions for most of the year. Even at the height of winter, temperatures remain warm during the day — though they sometimes get brisk at night, so you’ll want to pack a few layers if visiting during this time. Rain is also a constant in the area — don't forget a light, waterproof shell — with the driest months coming in the winter and a moderate increase in precipitation during the summer. With the town attracting such a wide array of travelers and their varied interests, there are a plethora of festivals throughout the year, ranging from a music festival in April to the Latin Fiesta and surf festivals in February.
Top things to do in Byron Bay
Tyagarah Nature Reserve
Rare and endangered ecologies ranging from inland rainforest floodplains to coastal saltmarshes and several miles of vast, golden beaches run through the Tyagarah Reserve. Located just a few minutes north of Byron Bay, this easily accessible park has several options for swimming, water sports, and hiking. Keep your eyes peeled for eagles, ospreys, and wallabies in the dense tropical forests.
Cape Byron Lighthouse
Sitting on the easternmost prominence of the Australian continent, Byron Bay Lighthouse is more than 100 years old, and classified as a maritime heritage site. Take a ranger-guided walk of the grounds, check out the on-site museum, and climb the tower for some of eastern Australia's most spectacular ocean vistas.
Belongil Beach
One of the lesser-known strips of sand near Byron Bay, this 1.5-mile long beach has plenty of room for spreading out and taking in the sun. Its long easy breaks make this a popular attraction for surfers who want to get away from the busier beaches. Locals refer to the area as the Wreck, named for the half-submerged ship sunk off the coast that’s visible from shore. The wreck site is also a popular diving and snorkeling spot.
