About this property

Byron Retreat :: your own private hideaway

Minutes off the Byron Bay tourist trail, between the hinterland and magnificent eastern coastline lies Byron Retreat. Hidden amidst a canopy of lush sub-tropical gardens, you'll want for nothing during your stay at this self-contained luxurious hideaway.

Whether holidaying with family and friends, or just seeking a quiet escape for two, Byron Retreat will provide you with the perfect location for a wonderful break. The property is located in a secluded and peaceful area, yet close to all the attractions of Byron Bay and the surrounding hinterland.

Relax by the pool, even in the cooler months, as the pool is heated to 28 degrees. At night snuggle up on the lounge in front of the central stone fireplace and watch a movie from the collection of hundreds of new release and classic titles, or choose a book from the library. Your iPod can be connected via Bluetooth to the stereo dock in the lounge room.

The house can sleep up to six adults in three bedrooms, two with luxurious King Size beds (one of which can be set up as twin beds) and one with a Queen. Two additional single beds for children can also be made up on request. The bedrooms are equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning and electric blankets. Two cots, a high chair, stroller and Bumbo baby seat are available at no extra charge.

The spacious, open layout features a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and outdoor entertaining terrace complete with a stunning Mexican-inspired barbecue.

Children will think it's paradise, with a 12 metre heated pool (which is securely fenced), cubby house, Springfree trampoline (with safety net), swing, full size outdoor table tennis table plus plenty of space to run around, play hide and seek, kick a soccer ball or have a game of backyard cricket. Indoors, a dedicated toy cupboard and rumpus room, movie library and games provide hours of amusement.

Parents will love the outdoor entertaining area or watching the kids by the pool in the Balinese hut, poolside recliners or outdoor hanging chair. And if you'd like to explore the surrounding area bikes are also provided at no additional charge.

Byron Bay Skincare toiletries are provided in each of the bathrooms and all linen and bath towels are supplied... so no need to load up your luggage with linen and towels or make up beds when you arrive.

And if you do need to check on emails or use the internet, complimentary Wi-Fi is available.

There is undercover parking for three cars and the property can accommodate wheelchairs. Full details and additional photos for accessability can be provided on request.

Your retreat at this exclusive property, whether it be for a weekend for two or a getaway with family and friends, is bound to be a magical experience.

We love this house!
This is the second time we have stayed at Melissa’s house and we love it. It is a magical holiday home, super comfortable and relaxing. The house has everything you need, and has such a unique design, and the most luxurious main bathroom! The house is surrounded by tropical gardens and has a large heated pool and gazebo for lounging. Ewingsdale is a tranquil spot just outside of Byron but close to all the fun of Byron and surrounds. Melissa is a lovely host, who does her best to make you feel welcome. We will be back!

Wonderful Property in Secluded Surroundings
We had a wonderful stay at the property. As other reviewers have stated the photos don’t do it justice. The pool area is huge. Our girls (2 & 4) couldn’t believe how many toys there were upstairs. And the DVD collection insane - something nostalgic about looking through the selection as opposed to never finding something you want to watch on streaming services. The communication with Melissa was excellent from start to finish. The pool was fairly cold when we first arrived but the house manager was straight over to reset the pump. Unfortunately we didn’t have the best weather but obviously no fault of the house. Would love to stay again.

Fabulous holiday home
We really loved our time at the Byron Retreat, plenty of room for three couples and a baby, and everything we could need for the baby, cot, high chair etc. It is a very comfortable home and we settled in very well for our three night stay. The pool is great and we were spoilt with a pool man coming to clean it while we were staying. Byron is really busy atm, so we were very pleased to be a little way out of town and not have the traffic etc to worry about. Highly recommend
