Byron Bay Accommodation

Stay at one of our Byron Bay hotels and experience this relaxing town, famous for alternative living, surfing and eco-tourism. Cape Byron is Australia's most easterly point and a great location for whale and dolphin watching. The most commonly sighted whale is the Humpback as they migrate past in May and June to breed, and return in September and October with their calves. While staying in one of our Byron Bay hotels take a stroll around Cape Byron and up to the lighthouse, as the area has spectacular ocean views and beautiful rainforests. Our Byron Bay accommodation also makes a great base for experiencing the local Aboriginal culture and historical sites, which are maintained by members of the Arakwal clan. The area has a number of midden sites where the Aborigines camped and ate pipis, fish and animals, and the oldest site in the region is located at Palm Valley.

While staying in our Byron Bay accommodation, pamper yourself at one of the town's many alternative living businesses, which offer a wide variety of massages, natural medicines and natural therapies. Byron Bay has been famous for its alternate lifestyle since 1973 when the Aquarius Festival was held in the nearby town of Nimbin. While staying at our Byron Bay accommodation embrace your inner hippy with a visit to Lake Ainsworth. The lake's tea-coloured waters, which are fed by the tea tree swamp behind the dunes, are said to have therapeutic benefits.

Byron Bay also has a wide variety of quality restaurants, great takeaways, clothes boutiques and a number of shops selling works by local artists. The Byron Bay markets are held the first Sunday of every month at the Butler Street reserve, and have numerous stalls selling handcrafted wares, artworks and locally-grown produce, and of every kind. Byron Bay is also home to a number of annual music festivals including the East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, held over the Easter weekend, and the Splendour in The Grass Festival, held at the end of July.
