The space This double guest suite is part of a spacious Byron home, architecturally designed only a few years ago, with a breezy indoor/outdoor feel. A tranquil space, containing a mix of Indiginous and European art, with lots of separate areas to relax inside and out. With a large, open plan layout, separate bedrooms and multiple outdoor lounge areas, the unit is large enough to comfortably be shared by two couples, a group of friends or a small family seeking a relaxed ambience with spaces to come together or retreat to for privacy. The outdoor areas consists of two covered decks, one that has a casual al-fresco dining/drinks area, and another one that soaks up the sun and has a seating/lounging area with two sunbeds. Its a great spot for early morning yoga or soaking up some sun rays. We also have an outdoor shower to rinse off after your morning swim or surf at the beach :) There is a small, above ground stainless steel plunge pool that guests above the age of 8 years of age (supervised/please refer to house rules) are welcome to use for a dip during the summer months between October and May. We also use the pool from time to time (ie it is shared) however are mindfull of respecting privacy. Each bedroom has built in wardrobes, ceiling fans, king beds, dimmer lighting and black out curtains. All linen and towels are provided and we have extra blankets in the wardrobes. If you need more, or something specific, just let me know. I have beach chairs and an umbrella too that I can lend. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including double dishwasher, fridge, induction cooktop, microwave, french press for coffee, kettle and little bits and pieces in the pantry and under the sink to get you started. There is huge lounge and TV with Netflix. The open-plan lounge area also has reverse cycle aircon / heating and leads out onto two deck areas. We are located about 2kms from Byron Bay town centre (Lawson St., Johnson St., etc.). The location is perfect if you are looking to be close to town for easy access but not directly "in" town. Two of the best cafe's (The General Store and The Roadhouse Cafe) are both less than 5 mins walk away so breakfast / coffee is a breeze. The New Johnson St complex with bars and restaurants is on the way to Woollies, about 15 mins walk away (3 mins in the car for your shopping). On a bicycle or by car, town and Main Beach or The Pass / Clarkies are less than 5 mins. Tallow's beach is great for long peaceful strolls and surfing, and is about 10 mins walk (or 2 mins in the car). We are passionate about wellbeing and have an arrangement with Mahi Health Club in town whereby all of our guests receive 10% any single, casual booking for Gym, Pilates or Yoga. Mahi also have a great Detox and Wellness Day package, that include hot/cold plunge and infra-red sauna. Its the perfect way to destress and unwind either on your own or together. We are very happy to host families with children and have some children's books/toys to keep them occupied. There is also a little outdoor hot water shower for everyone to rinse off after the beach. Please note we are unable to provide access to children under the age of 8 to the plunge pool. Guest access This is a self contained 2 bedroom unit / guest suite situated within a large family home. Guests have private access to the entire indoor downstairs area as per photos, with the only shared areas being part of the rear back deck + pool area (which is only shared with me, my 13 year old and my partner). From time to time, we may use the back area for a quick dip but generally, if we have guests, we leave it to you to enjoy the space :) We have a set of stairs to the upper (private) part of the house also accessed via the same back deck area. You have transulcent curtains in your lounge which you can draw for privacy. The photographed kitchen, lounge, bedrooms and bathrooms are private and for your use only (not shared). Any guests above the age of 8 (provided they are under adult supervision) are welcome to use the plunge pool between the months of October and May between 7am and 6pm. Strictly no diving/jumping, young children, drinking acohol, playing loud music etc. in the pool area please. The house is 3 minutes drive to everything including Main Beach and Byron Bay town centre. The Roadhouse and General Store cafes are just 500m walk down the road for early morning coffee's. Tallow Beach is around 10-15 minutes' walk away, and is great for long peaceful strolls, morning yoga and surfing. We recommend car or bikes for getting around. Walking to town, markets and beach is fine (about 10-25 mins depending where), however can be a bit far for multiple trips a day (especially in the mid day sun :) In a car everything is basically less than 5 mins away. I am available if needed but most contact is via airbnb messaging or text as I like to give you your space/privacy so you can feel at home. I live onsite (upstairs) so you may see me and my daughter coming and going. I am happy to make myself available anytime to provide local recommendations or anything you might need to make the most of your experience :).
