This is a hidden gem in Wategos. Walking distance to the best beach in the region, a quick 5min drive to the bars and restaurants in Byron. The apartment was very well curated, beautiful views, the owners very kind and helpful. Totally recommend it.

The location at Wategos Beach and the apartment were so wonderful I could not fault the entire experience. The owners Leanne and Gary were lovely and welcoming and the apartment was so clean yet also homely, I wish we never had to leave. We had the best holiday ever and I can’t wait to come back to this special part of Byron Bay!

This apartment is excellent. Great location, lovely views, spotlessly clean and everything you need for a relaxing stay in a beautiful area. Only suggestion would be a small BBQ on the balcony. It is a short walk to the beach or onto the Lighthouse walk – so easy to enjoy the stunning surroundings. Owners were there if needed but not intrusive and the apartment felt very private. We stayed for 9 nights and didn’t want to leave! We will be back.
