About this property

Byron Retreat :: your own private hideaway

Minutes off the Byron Bay tourist trail, between the hinterland and magnificent eastern coastline lies Byron Retreat. Hidden amidst a canopy of lush sub-tropical gardens, you'll want for nothing during your stay at this self-contained luxurious hideaway.

Whether holidaying with family and friends, or just seeking a quiet escape for two, Byron Retreat will provide you with the perfect location for a wonderful break. The property is located in a secluded and peaceful area, yet close to all the attractions of Byron Bay and the surrounding hinterland.

Relax by the pool, even in the cooler months, as the pool is heated to 28 degrees. At night snuggle up on the lounge in front of the central stone fireplace and watch a movie from the collection of hundreds of new release and classic titles, or choose a book from the library. Your iPod can be connected via Bluetooth to the stereo dock in the lounge room.

The house can sleep up to six adults in three bedrooms, two with luxurious King Size beds (one of which can be set up as twin beds) and one with a Queen. Two additional single beds for children can also be made up on request. The bedrooms are equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning and electric blankets. Two cots, a high chair, stroller and Bumbo baby seat are available at no extra charge.

The spacious, open layout features a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and outdoor entertaining terrace complete with a stunning Mexican-inspired barbecue.

Children will think it's paradise, with a 12 metre heated pool (which is securely fenced), cubby house, Springfree trampoline (with safety net), swing, full size outdoor table tennis table plus plenty of space to run around, play hide and seek, kick a soccer ball or have a game of backyard cricket. Indoors, a dedicated toy cupboard and rumpus room, movie library and games provide hours of amusement.

Parents will love the outdoor entertaining area or watching the kids by the pool in the Balinese hut, poolside recliners or outdoor hanging chair. And if you'd like to explore the surrounding area bikes are also provided at no additional charge.

Byron Bay Skincare toiletries are provided in each of the bathrooms and all linen and bath towels are supplied... so no need to load up your luggage with linen and towels or make up beds when you arrive.

And if you do need to check on emails or use the internet, complimentary Wi-Fi is available.

There is undercover parking for three cars and the property can accommodate wheelchairs. Full details and additional photos for accessability can be provided on request.

Your retreat at this exclusive property, whether it be for a weekend for two or a getaway with family and friends, is bound to be a magical experience.

Simply perfect
From the moment we arrived we knew we'd found something truly special. Convenient location that somehow preserved a serene sense of isolation. Perfect for the kids, who rarely left the pool and so easy for us to get straight into holiday mode. Trying to work out when we can back!

Awesome Holiday House!
Had an amazing time staying at Byron Retreat. Our group of 3 adults and 4 kids loved every minute we were there (so much so we extended our stay...twice!). The property is spacious both inside and out, the pool is amazing and the selection of DVD's, games and kids toys is incredible. Looking forward to our next stay here!

Artistic Byron Heaven!
What a great discovery for the whole family! We (Sydney couple with two girls (11 and 7) and one granny) spent one week in this wonderful place and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. From marvelling at the house's unique architecture and beautiful interior design (the photos on the Website don't do it justice), over soaking up its peaceful, private, and natural setting, to spending endless hours in the pool - this experience was one of a kind! Our stay was made comfortable with this place being fully equipped like a "normal" house. Whatever you think you might need - it's there. No more "four spoons, knives, and forks only" (but nothing to prepare or serve your meal with) or "only one spare role of toilet paper" or "salt yes, but no oil" as in so many other rental properties. Here, you have it all (incl. his and her bathrobes), and it's generous! Great, too, having a shower, while enjoying garden views; reading a book from the excellently composed library; or watching one of the hundreds of movies. And even the kids never got tired - with pool, trampoline, cubby house, and kids'playroom around. Halfway through our stay we requested additional towels and received those without any issues, which we appreciated very much. A few minor maintenance issues were brought to the owners'attention and taken care of. Communication with the owners and caretakers was seamless. Overall, this place was exactly what the doctor prescribed, and we will return, gladly. You, too, should enjoy it!

Paradise with the Kids (I know right!!!)
We were a group of x4 parents and x2 1.5 year old kids. The photos looked great online but sometime you can never quiet tell... The moment we arrived we were in absolute awe. There was so much space, things to do, spots to just enjoy we were absolutely in love from the moment we arrived until the moment we had to leave. We didn't have the best of weather but that didn't matter because there was still so much to do inside, great under cover spots we could still enjoy reading books and listening to the rain drops, the pool was so beautiful and warm we all still even swam every day! I love the fact it was a short trip out of town so we didn't have to battle the BB traffic but could still enjoy a trip in and out for a morning coffee or stroll along the beach. We stopped by the grocery store for a few supplies before we arrived and honestly had everything we could possible need. The kids loved the little duckies in the pool and the bath too. Thank you so much for you fantastic customer service and sharing your beautiful home with us Melissa. It truly had a great energy and we will be back again! Sophie, Kelvin, Asha, Jo, Mick and Winnie :)
