While away the hours in front of the gas fireplace, cosied up with a fluffy rug and luxuriating in the depths of the four seater lounge.

Local Attractions:

Byron Blisshouse is exceptionally located to explore Byron's treasures.
There is no place on earth quite like Byron Bay. Located on Australia's most Easterly Point, Byron Bay is the ultimate coastal getaway - its friendly, carefree lifestyle capturing the hearts of travellers from all over the globe.
Breathaking scenery.
Flanked by mountains to the west and the sea to the east, Byron enjoys a gorgeous sub tropical climate and breathtaking landscape. With kilometres of sandy beaches, some of the best surf breaks in the world and a heritage listed rainforest at your back door, it is little wonder Byron is famously desirable. Imagine spotting whales and dolphins from the very beach on which you are lazing. Or climbing the remnants of an ancient volcano. Here, you can go bush in the many National Parks which surround Byron, taking in 100m drop waterfalls, amazing birdlife, and tea tree lakes. Its legendary beaches are all you are led to believe - fine white sand and gorgeous turquoise waters. And above the blue, blue horizon, more blue
Colourful character
Byron is nothing if not diverse. Once the almost exclusive domain of those seeking an alternative lifestyle, Byron has now shed its hippie credentials for hippy chic, luring a fabulously diverse mix of people - from surfers to movie stars to backpackers, moguls, hippies, international artists, families, couples, burnt out executives and fun loving visitors from all over the world - all there to rebalance mind and body in this enticing slice of paradise.
Fast or slow, Byron is the go
In Byron, no one is a slave to itineraries. Its slow, seductive pace gets under your skin, so you are happy just to go with the flow.
Of course, there's countless amazing experiences if you did want to do more than decide where you might take your next meal or just which fabulous Australian wine should accompany it. Be amongst the first in Australia to see the sun rise each day. Take a stroll up to the iconic lighthouse or along one of many walking tracks on Cape Byron Headland Reserve for dramatic views of the coastline. Enjoy the abundance of sea life, including sea turtles, sting rays and colourful fish and sharks, which are regularly spotted in the area. Have a leisurely breakfast along the beachfront. A round of golf on an 18 hole championship courses. A private yoga lesson. Take a splash in the surf - whether it's at one of the busy patrolled beaches, an isolated cove, or nudist hideaway.
Or resurrect the adventurous spirit in yourself and have a go at hang gliding, horse riding, surf school, dolphin kayaking, fishing, whale watching, scuba diving, snorkeling, mountain bike riding, trekking, micro flight, scenic joy flight, quad biking or sky diving.
Decisions, decisions. Perhaps tomorrow you could just chill out again today.
Tantalise your tasebuds
Byron Bay is spoiled for choice when it comes to dining out. Indeed, there's no excuse for dining at the same place twice. Many cafes take advantage of the stunning coastline, others are amongst the buzz and colour of the town's centre, while others are far, far way from it all. The area prides itself on its quality local produce from surrounding farmlands and the sea, a delight you will savour whether in a casual little cafe or a chefs hat-awarded fine dining restaurant.
Shopping
Byron's vibrant shopping offers something for everyone; whether you are searching for souvenirs, designer fashions, funky trinkets, handworked arts and crafts, whimsical or classical treasures, you'll find them and more at Byron's many shops and marketplaces.
An exciting all year round destination
When it comes to having a good time, Byron Bay knows how to put her party shoes on.
Byron plays host to some of the best entertainment on the arts scene. It lures some of the best athletes, and every weekend the markets are held in various locations throughout the region. The markets represent the very talented locals that live in the area and provide an experience for all the senses. It is also a great place to pick up gifts, sample the regions produce and generally just 'kick back' with the locals!
We look forward to welcoming you to Byron Bay soon!
