Great location

The location is perfect, only a few minute walk to the beach. Older style accomodation, with an outdoor bathroom, not ideal but manageable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Such a lovely place and perfect location

Absolutely loved our stay. Such a gorgeous little place and beautiful private garden. The location is simply PERFECT as well, just a minute walk to the beach. Only improvement for me would be to have a fan, even though it has a good working airco.

Very private, peaceful location in a beautiful garden. The cottage was pretty with an outdoor seating area for dining. Nice bathroom with washing machine attached to the cottage. Bed very comfortable. Lounge area with TV cosy. The kitchen was spacious but could have had better equipment and the garden could do with a couple of reclining chairs.

Artists Cottage

Great private getaway close to Byron Bay. The garden is a private oasis and we loved watching the bird life. Close to the beach where you can walk for miles in either direction. Jen is a great host and we would definitely want to stay here if we were back in Byron Bay.

Peaceful getaway

My mum & I loved our week in Jan's beautiful artist cottage. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Enjoyed the leafy backyard, outdoor dining, close proximity to the beach & the quiet street. I'd definitely recommend it!

Belongil Bliss

Great location within walking distance down the beach to Byron but not in the busy part of town. Great couple of bars/ restaurants a few hundred metres away & the ocean nearly on your doorstep. A tranquil garden setting. Lovely!

A beautiful place to stay in every way

The cottage was exactly as we had expected and Jan made us very welcome. The location is perfect - in a very peaceful location just a short walk to the beautiful Belongil beach and about 2km into the centre of Byron Bay (either walking along the beach or road ... or a few minutes in the car). The cottage is very private and overlooks the garden. It is well equipped and comfortable, and even on one chilly night while we were there we were very cosy with the heater on. Would also highly recommend the Treehouse just along the road for dinner.

The property is shabby, cramped, and dark. The outdoor furniture and some of the inside furniture are ready for the dumpster. The 'stove' in the kitchen is a two-burner unit that plugs into a powerpoint. No oven. Poor value for money when compared to other properties in the area. Very uncomfortable.

Relax to birdsong and crashing waves

Jan’s cottage is a delight. It has everything you need for a quiet, relaxing time away from any hustle and bustle. There’s no huge smart TV or other mod cons, but what you get is honest, simple, and non-digital, which gives you a break from that space anyway. The location is fabulous, but if you want to walk along the beach to town you need to allow a bit of time.

The property itself was quite neglected . when we booked the property there was no mention you had to go outside the cottage to go to use the bathroom,merely it said that there was no ensuite.we didn’t appreciate we had only a used cake of soap to use in the shower.We must say the hostess was very nice to deal with

Jan was very welcoming, but the facilities were very basic.Although it is quite private, there are no proper curtains at the Windows, we did not realise that you have to go outside to get to the bathroom, the kitchen is not very well provided with cooking utensils and there is only a two ring camping hob to cook on. The BBQ was not clean, I had to clean it before we could use it.The description “beside Belongil Beach” is a little misleading. It is close to the beach, but not exactly beside it.

Thanks for your review Ellen. However everything is clearly written on the website if you would like to read it more carefully. As a beachside (ie: not breachfront) cottage, sand is always a problem. Please do not bring the sand back on your feet. It makes for a huge clean up job.

Garden cottage by the beach

We truly enjoyed our five-night stay at the Artist Studio Cottage in the northern part of Byron Bay. It was the perfect retreat for a relaxing holiday. The cottage is beautifully maintained and in excellent condition, offering a cozy yet spacious atmosphere. It features a combined bedroom and living area, a well-equipped kitchen at the entrance, and a separate bathroom.Outside, the charming terrace and lush garden create a peaceful oasis to unwind. The cottage provides everything you could possibly need, and the host is both friendly and respectful of privacy, as the accommodation is tucked away in the back section of the property.The location is fantastic — the beach is just a three-minute walk away, and Byron Bay is about a 25-minute stroll along the shoreline. The setting is incredibly peaceful, and at night, you can fall asleep to the soothing sound of ocean waves.A dream getaway — we would absolutely love to return soon!Michael & Andreas
