We headed up to Byron Bay the other weekend and had such a great time.. what an awesome beach town. I would highly recommend where we stayed - The Atlantic Guesthouses. It's a lovely set of cottages and an Airstream (where we stayed one night!) in a lush tropical garden that's near the beach and town centre. The most recently renovated building is called Coconut Cottage and it's so beautifully decorated..very beachy, clean and laid back Byron style.
We took a surf lesson and hiked to the Cape Byron lighthouse, plus did lots of swimming and beach walks. The beaches are just stunning..one after another. Being only a 45 minute flight north of Sydney I was surprised at how much warmer the water was and how tropical it all felt. We even equated it to a small Hawaiian town..similar feel.
Great food as well. We really enjoyed dinner at St. Elmo and breakfast at the Byron Beach Cafe, which has an unbeatable view!
LOVE Byron!
