The lane consists of cement stepping stones on grass. At the end of the lane, you'll find the white gate of the cottage, which has a lock code. Once the space is booked, I'll send you detailed instructions. Please note that check-in time is at 3 pm and check-out is at 11 am. Kindly park your car after the 50-speed limit sign, towards the end of the street. At the end of the street, you'll find the beach entrance, and on the right of it, the caravan park sign. The cottage is a small one-bedroom studio that is very private and detached from the main house where we live, but still on my property. The entrance is located at the end of our private lane on Clifford Street. Self-check-in with a code lock at the gate entrance allows you to arrive at any time that suits your travel plans. During your stay, if you need anything or are looking for local recommendations that you can't find in our welcome folder, we are just across the fence. I prefer that you ask directly if you need anything or if something is missing or not working. Please let me know if you have any concerns rather than refraining from enjoying your stay fully. The last thing we want is for anything to cause you stress or for there to be a risk of receiving a bad review due to miscommunication. We hope that you fully enjoy the home away from home that we have created with our love and hard work. I'm just a text away, remember! Suffolk Park Beachside is widely considered by many to be the perfect place to live in the Byron Shire. With its amazing surf, stunning beach, and great fishing spots, it offers everything that lovers of the sea could ask for. But what really sets it apart is the sense of community and family-friendly atmosphere that can be felt both on the streets and on the beaches. Living in this happy and easy-going neighborhood is a dream come true for many people. From our cottage the closest grocery store is a Spar, which is only walk up the street. If you like a more relaxed getaway but only 5 min from the busy Byron Bay town center, to enjoy the surfy and chilled Suffolk vibes, there are plenty of shops nearby that offer convenience. These include: Top coffee at the Suffolk bakery The Park bottle shop & pub Pizza Paradiso Italian A new Vietnamese restaurant Suffolk Post Office Fish and chips and take-away Chemist If you're feeling to go to live the town nightlife or searching for a specific type of store or restaurant in Byron, read our guestbook or ask, we can point you in the right direction.

There are all new bike tracks to and all around Byron. For surf lovers: Tallow beach is a must-visit spot. It spans all the way from Cosy Corner to the beginning of Suffolk Park, and offers both right and left-hand waves depending on the swell direction. Cosy Corner is one of the few breaks protected from the dreaded northerlies, making it a great spot to catch some waves. Suffolk Park, located south of Byron Bay, can also offer good A frames, giving goofys and naturals a nice directional choice. The wreck, The pass, Wategos, and Belongil beach are also great spots for surfing, depending on weather and wind conditions that can be checked on surf apps. Please park your car after the 50-speed limit sign, towards the end of the street, instead of in front of the sign, as I prefer not to upset our neighbors. Getting Around: We provide Lekker bikes for your use, and there is a bicycle track at the end of Alcorn Street that leads to town through the lovely beach access. Please ensure that you lock the bikes at all times and use helmets to avoid fines. It is strictly prohibited to ride on the beach shore as the water can severely damage the wheel's mechanics.
