Just when you thought you’d ticked all things Byron Bay-related off of your bucket list, an unbelievably ~chill~ new hotel opens and you’re right back at square one: planning yet another Byron Bay roadtrip to satisfy your hankering for effortless beachside relaxation.

Byron Bay’s hottest new address is design-led surf culture homage The Surf House. Positioned just two streets back from Main Beach in the heritage listed Byron Council Chambers building, the property positively radiates the kind of California cool that inspires moodboards and sets Instagrammer hearts aflutter.

As well as offering sun-seekers a place to hang their designer hats, The Surf House will also be home to a new open-air rooftop bar, The Rooftop.

Suitably decked from head to toe in vintage beach chic, the new bar promises a laid back place to unwind post-wave chasing or sunbathing with a chilled Stone & Wood pale ale or Brookie’s G&T from Cape Byron Distillery.

The property promises a range of rooms to cater to every travellers needs, be that a private queen room complete with balcony, ensuite and ocean views or shared room options that accommodate groups from four to eight.

The Surf House is the third Byron Bay property from the family owned and operated Millett Group, who also run The Lord Byron boutique hotel.

Look, it’s probably a lot more like “Byron planning” now, if we’re perfectly honest. For info and bookings, visit thesurfhouse.com.au/
