We are a family living in a very leafy and quiet suburb with beautiful views of nature from every position. Our house is a stone's throw from the famous Roadhouse Cafe, Tallow's Beach and the adjacent tea tree lake. Walking or cycling to town is an option. Our other famous beaches in Byron Bay can be reached in less than five minutes by car.
The room available changes around on occasion, yet all rooms of the house are lovingly furnished. We have a studio space available at present with privacy and its own entry. The garden offers various outdoor areas with sitting options and a sauna.

June 2016
We were staying at Helens place for about a week. We lived in a room at the end of the house, which had it's own entrance and faced the garden so we saw Helen almost every day painting outside because of her art exhibit (wish you the best and that everything went well like you have planned it). Nothing is missing in the room (desk, wardrobe, mirror, sofa, tv and obviously a bed). We had an own kitchenette, which is well equipped. Helen is kind and suggested to pick us up when we arrive in Byron Bay and also droped us off at the bus station on the day we left Byron. And one day she drove us to the Lighthouse so we only had to go the hilly way down and not up. As she wrote in the discription we had bikes, which was a big help because otherwise we had to walk about 30/40 minutes into towncentre or Main Beach. The house is very easy to find and surrounded by rainforest.

If you are ever going to Byron Bay, you are unlikely to find a better place to stay. The room has everything you could wish for; bed (obviously), a magnificent en-suite shower and toilet, cooking and washing up faciliities and a wonderful outdoor terrace that attracts the sun throughout the day.
The property is about a 20 minute walk into the town centre, but there are frequent buses should you not feel like stretching your legs.
The host, Hele, could not have been more hospitable. Even down to providing me with some essentials to allow me to enjoy a music festival that I was attending.
Oh, and the price was more than reasonable, compared with other places I looked at.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile.
