Fantastic location
Perfect stay for our family visiting Byron Bay for the first time. Grocer basically across the road and restaurants within walking distance. We were traveling with 2 kids and small dog - I would love to come back and spend longer at this property. House was well equipped including beach towels and very clean.

Great location, relaxing vibe
We loved our stay at Genie House. The place was big enough for our extended family group with lots of decks and places to chill out in. The dining table room was amazing. It was an easy 10 minute walk to Byron shops, across the road from the Bay Grocer and a short walk to The General Store for morning coffee. It felt like a home, with lots of cosy touches. Only issue was only having one bathroom, but it was very clean.

About the host

We love the Byron lifestyle. We enjoy surfing, walks to the lighthouse and dining out at the lovely mix of restaurants available.

Why they chose this property

The Genie House was one of Byron's old historic whaling station homes which has been renovated into a super comfy homely beach house which has a lovely well established garden for puppies and children to play. The garden also contains a cool outdoor shower which is refreshing after a swim at the beach. The house has a beautiful front dining area which opens up with concertina windows adding to its relaxed feel.


The neighbourhood is very quiet but close to the main town area. Easy walking distance to the beach along the back streets is a lovely way to get to the beach.

What makes this property unique

Family & Pet-friendly house close to town centre.
