Byron Bay

Byron Bay - Hollywood meets Hipsters

Self proclaimed “Coolest town in Australia” (That may or may not be true) certainly does have a vibe that is infectious as soon as you arrive, it is no wonder super celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Angus Stone and Olivia Newton-John call this place home! It still has a hippy vibe but with a luxe twist, so weather want to spend the day shopping in some of the trendiest stores in Australia, orr you just want to hang out on the foreshore listening to live music whilst watching fire twirlers, no problemo, Byron has something for everyone! 

It is also said to be illegal to visit Byron Bay without visiting the Beach Hotel, an amazing open air venue right across the road from the main beach. Classic pub food or decent wood fired pizzas are on the menu and there is a busy lineup of live music and DJs booked almost every night! 

*There is no official law on Beach Bar attendance. Just a silly joke*
