Huge modern home close to everything.
Paul was an incredible host. Very clear and responsive communication, the place was practically perfect and had everything you need to enjoy your stay (board games and kayaks, plenty of kitchenware, great living and dining space to enjoy with friends or family). Great value and would certainly return.

The Tiny Kookaburra Cottage
A perfect spot in Lennox, the flat was so wholesome and we felt right at home, even better than the photos. With beautiful surroundings we had easy access to Byron Bay, and peaceful quiet location.

Large private rural property - Outdoor Firepit
We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful English-style house! It was the perfect setting for a group getaway—spacious, stylish, and so well-equipped with everything we could possibly need (and more). The surrounding nature was absolutely magical. We spent our mornings with a coffee in hand, listening to the creek running and the birds singing—so peaceful and grounding. The whole place had such a calm and welcoming energy, and it made our time together truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a little slice of nature in total comfort. We'll definitely be back!

Villa Serenity: 6BR Casuarina Beach Home w/ Pool
Beautiful large home with plenty of space for our family gathering of three generations. We could all fit around the dining table and plenty of areas to get away if it all got too much. Great paths for riding or walking. Well equipped kitchen for a crowd. Spare fridge in garage for drinks. Very enjoyable stay. Thanks Camille.

The Tide-Pottsville
Incredible house, incredible location, we LOVED everything about it. There are so many amazing features that aren’t even mentioned in the listing. The pool was in such a perfect location, in the sun all day but with shade at the end for parents watching over kids. There was a shelf at the end which was perfect for little ones that aren’t confident at swimming yet. Dani was a friendly and attentive host and all her tips were absolutely spot on. We have already booked again for next year!

Salty Crab Bungalow
Loved our stay and perfect place for what we were after. Walking distance from the beach and the restaurants, plenty of space for our family of four, and great garden area to play and relax in. The house was incredibly well looked after, clean and with all the amenities you needed. Looking forward to a return stay!

TEMPLE BEACH HOUSE
A Perfect - Peaceful - Paradise A home from home. Cant wait to book this home again. We were 12 people ages 2 to 62 This was the best Airbnb we’ve ever been in. 2 minutes to New Brighton beach 5 minute drive to Christmas Beach. Both are stunning beaches for an early morning walk or swim. The house was homey, comfortable and more than large enough for so many people with its 3 different sitting areas. A well equipped kitchen, my husband loved the coffee machine. The pool was perfect to take a dip after a busy day. Tina was an incredible host. Always available to answer any questions or fix things. The dishwasher broke down a new one was delivered the next day now that’s impressive. Nothing was too much trouble. Anyone staying in this home will have the best time.

Mi Casa Su Casa Villa (Byron Bay)
We had a great time at Michael’s place. It’s quiet, a short stroll from the beach for a morning swim and very close to the vibrant Byron bay. Michael recommended some great places for food as well which was super helpful. Definitely recommend it - we’ll be back

Your guide to New Brighton
All About New Brighton
New Brighton is a rural New South Wales township located on the Pacific coastline surrounded by several nature reserves, national parks, and many kilometers of rocky white sand beaches that are popular with surfers. With a population of only a few hundred residents, New Brighton offers the chance to unplug away from the crowds and enjoy nature.
Within the town, you can check out one of the several modern cafes, seafood restaurants, and farmer's markets located throughout the central business district. Brunswick Heads Nature Reserve protects New Brighton's natural beauty close to the centre of town, and recreational opportunities here include surfing, hiking, birdwatching, lounging on the beach, cycling, canoeing, and picnicking. If you have access to a car, you can take day trips to other Byron Shire towns like palm tree-lined Mullumbimby and the vibrant Byron Bay, or to notable natural sites like the Minyon Falls Lookout.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in New Brighton
New Brighton's coastal climate is warm throughout the year, with the summer and fall months bringing a moderate amount of rain. If ocean-bound activities and water recreation bring you to the area, the hot summer months are the best for swimming and playing on the extensive coastlines New Brighton has to offer. The shoulder seasons may prove to be the best time to book a New Brighton accommodation if the national parks and nature reserves interest you, as this is when mild temperatures and sunny skies provide the ideal conditions for nature walks and inland exploration. Cool breezes and low humidity make for an enjoyable winter, and the nights don’t require more than a few warm layers.
Top things to do in New Brighton
New Brighton Beach
New Brighton beach is an expansive stretch of pristine coastline easily accessible from anywhere in town. The beach makes for a great afternoon of playing in the water or sunbathing with turquoise waters and soft white sand. The shore here is seldom busy and tends to attract surfers who like to get away from the crowds of the more popular spots up and down the coast.
Golfing
Several public golf courses in the area offer fairways bordered by nature reserves, rivers, or are mere steps from the beach. For easy access, check out the courses located right in town, or head further inland to get closer to the many surrounding national parks. The proximity of many of the courses to other forms of outdoor recreation allows additional opportunities to be among nature when finished with your game for the day.
Waterlily Park
Located a short way inland and technically in the Ocean Shores community, Waterlily Park hosts several nature-inspired playgrounds, along with outdoor exercise equipment and picnic areas. The main attraction here are the hundreds of meters of walking paths that wind through the park and its surrounding forested areas that are also accessible for wheelchairs, bikes, and inline skates.
