The house is beautiful and was perfect for our family holiday! It’s big enough that no one is on top of each other but could all come together to swim, eat and the kids could play together. It’s in an amazing location in Broken Head a short stroll from the beach, a 3 minute drive to a delicious bakery with great coffee and only 12 minutes from Byron Bay with all the restaurants and things to do. Communication was great, we were offered early check in and late check out. We had the best time and wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Family holiday at Barefoot

The house was large and comfortable for all of the 10 members of our family. Even the weather was less than desirable we used the large middle lounge room to read and play board games when it was raining. The property was located a short walk to the beach which was ideal for the children. We thoroughly recommend the house.

A lovely beach break from the city

We really enjoyed the property. It was big enough for all of our group to each do own own thing, whether that be yoga or swimming or cooking or reading or hanging out together and of course visiting the beach everyday steps away. The property is fantastic and we would happily visit again. Thank you for your hospitality.

As good as it gets!!!

Along with our immediate family, we just spent 9 amazing days in this stunning home. Sitting in a private enclave with access to the beach, this 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home was the perfect venue for our group of 8 adults and 3 children. The home is beautifully appointed and furnished and the pavilion style layout ideal for a large group. Concierge, Frances was amazing, organizing a chef for a beautiful birthday dinner, groceries delivered and stored prior to arrival and an on site yoga session, a service I have never experienced before in any holiday home I have rented anywhere in the world. Owner Tim, was very informative and helpful prior to and during our stay promptly answering any questions we had. I love Byron Bay and have been traveling there for five decades, but the town itself and the immediate surroundings are very busy, Broken Head is in close proximity, but sufficiently removed to provide the seclusion and privacy we required for a relaxing beach holiday. This is a very special property and one our entire family enjoyed immensely. As good as it gets.

Great winter break

Our second visit. We arrived to a bit of a cold snap, but the house was cosy and the pool lovely and warm. The new bikes were put to good use at low tide. Everything perfectly presented again, hope to see you next year...

Gorgeous comfortable property with lots of space and tranquil atmosphere.

Had a lovely family holiday here. Weather wasn’t perfect but the house was. It didn’t matter when it rained because the house was such a delight to be in. Great beds and spacious luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms. Living room pavilion had such a great feel and many hours spent playing the ( in tune and excellent) piano, guitar, singing, watching movies, reading, hanging out. The whole place has great atmosphere. The bikes and boards all happily put to use. Lovely pool area and lap pool. Great welcome from Frances. Use the shopping delivery option. Such a great idea. Superb massages as well organized by Frances. We will be back.

An other world - splendid

Thanks Tim and Frances for your friendly guidance and for being so available. We took advantage of the meal delivery option from Taste on the first night and relaxed straight away. The house itself is kept in pristine condition, the large garden and pools are immaculate, and the kitchen is a joy to cook in. We were 8 adults and all had plenty of privacy.... what a dream house

A tropical haven

Our extended family found this to be a beautifully presented holiday home. The configuration of the house and gardens made it ideal to spend group time as well as having individual areas to escape for peace and quiet. The house had so much to offer with two pools and a beautiful garden setting. Close access to the beach was a bonus. We would highly recommend this getaway to a large group or family.

Swish

Three couples and a spare bloke heading up to a wedding thought we would stop off for a treat and so glad we did. It's like a private resort with every group in their own building. Everything as described, just bigger and more open than the photos do justice. The poolside cabana is very LA meets Bali, and the whole house is very stylish. A real step out of the ordinary, highly recommended...

We've been everywhere man, and this is world class. We sent the shopping list ahead and relaxed as soon as we walked into this huge, classy house. Spotlessly clean, sparkling heated pools, manicured gardens, real attention to comfort. It's even better than the pictures, just wow, we'll be back

Surf trip at Barefoot

Barefoot provided all the goods for a comfortable relaxing environment. The layout of the rooms to the main house almost felt like we was in Bali. Amazing ntertainment area were we spent alot of our time recovering from a surf and relaxing. good Perfect location for a back door entry onto broken head beach. Had good swell conditions all weekend which put the cherry on top. Unfortanetly it rained all weekend but besides that we couldnt fault this place. Looking foward to our next stay at Barefoot in the near future. Also Frances was very helpful with all needs making it an easy stay. Cheers guys

Beautiful beachside pavilion

This set of pavilions is an amazing place to stay. I had my 40th birthday party here and it was just beautiful! Many of my guests came from far away, and this property was able to sleep 12 comfortably, with another two on mattresses on the floor. One night two of my guests slept alfresco on the daybed outside the honeymoon pavilion, which they found delightful. Because I booked an event at Barefoot, we were required to liaise with the house manager, who was perfect, unobtrusive and amazing. We were also required to make use of the house approved catering (Figtree Catering) which I probably would've used anyway! Needless to say, the food and staff were beautiful. The house itself is set up well so that guests can be together or alone, the kitchen is well stocked, bathrooms ample and the garden is very lovely. Distance to the beach is a plus for anytime of year, and even though Barefoot is situated in a gated complex and the neighbouring pavilions are actually quite close, everything is very quiet and private. There are some surfboards and a paddle board and some bikes for getting around. I really love this place. Highly recommended.

The best beach house

Barefoot at Broken Head is a magnificent home designed in resort style with easy living beside the pools. Its name belies the way I spent the week - barefoot ! The external living areas were large and the rainforest gardens provided a peaceful space to undertake our morning yoga sessions arranged by the owners. This open living style enabled our group of 16 family members to have plenty of personal space and of significance to us was the security and privacy provided by the property walls. Our grand kids were always in a secure location and could not wander off. To cap it off all furnishings, bedding and facilities were first class as was the unexpected mid week clean provided by the owners. Overall a fabulous holiday at a fabulous place.

Bliss

This was our second visit to Barefoot and it did not disappoint. We have had a weekend away with friends and now a week of total relaxation with family. We love the easy laid back feel and the amazing options for entertaining. There is something and somewhere to go for everyone, we'll definitely be back again!

Spectacular

My brother and his family were out from Dubai so I wanted somewhere very Australian and very spectacular to catch up for a few days. Barefoot was perfect. The beach is unbelievable and the ocean was warmer than we expected for June - a good month for waves. The house is huge and beautifully appointed. Complete privacy for each family and heaps to do for the kids. The low tide bike ride really is unforgettable. This is the perfect option if you really want to impress.
