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.

Seaside Beach House
If youâre reading reviews and trying to decide what to do⌠just book this place. It has everything you could possibly need and Greg and Lyn are wonderful hosts. The linens are hotel quality and no shortage of towels. Itâs in a great location just opposite the beach and a playground for kids. Quick walk to the shops in Suffolk Park. Short drive to Byron and easy access to Lennox, Bangalow and the hinterland. We hope to stay here again when we return.

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
Dani was a great host! Very friendly and was great in getting back to my questions quickly, despite being away on holidays herself. The place was huge⌠much bigger than it looks in the pictures, so it was perfect for our extended family. The kids loved the pool and it was exactly what we were looking for. We had everything we needed for our Easter break. Thanks so much Dani and family âşď¸

Looking for serenity? Here it is.
The view was amazing. We didnât leave the deck for the entire weekend . Peaceful and spectacular.

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 weâve 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 thatâs 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 Michaelâs place. Itâs 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 - weâll be back
Your guide to Wategos Beach
All About Wategos Beach
Tucked away from the more animated Byron Bay, Wategos Beach is an oasis for those in search of gentle surf and powder-soft sands. Fringed by palms that protect this little slice of paradise from the wind and rougher waters past the headland, Wategos is a favourite nook for travelers looking to take in the sun, swim, and rent kayaks. People arenât the only ones who like to play in these waters â spotting dolphins here is almost a given, and humpback whales pass through during their winter migration.
You can wind your way around the coast to the lighthouse and head up to the top for sweeping views over the bay at Australiaâs easternmost point, then pick the perfect spot on the beach to enjoy a barbie and watch the sun dip below the horizon.
Wategos Beach is enveloped in the Cape Byron State Conservation Area, making the beautiful local shores and historic lighthouse protected national landmarks. This area of outstanding natural beauty is peppered with tranquil forested trails, memorable lookout points, and sandy shores to admire.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Wategos Beach
Come in summer to make the most of the endless sun, spending whole days swimming, surfing, snorkelling, and sunbathing. The weather cools off a bit in winter, but it never gets too cold here, meaning outdoor activities are still easy and enjoyable. While it may be too chilly to swim, the trade-off is that this is whale watching season â migrating humpbacks glide through the waters, and you have a good chance of spotting them from lookout points along the coastal trails of the State Conservation Area or from the top of Byron Bay Lighthouse. Whale watching season typically runs from May through November, though June and July are the best times to come for this. March tends to be the rainiest month, so keep that in mind if youâre planning a beach-heavy trip.
Top things to do in Wategos Beach
Cape Byron Walking Track
This 3.7-kilometre loop through the Cape Byron State Conservation Area winds along the coast, with whales, dolphins, turtles, and stingrays floating through the crystalline waters offshore â bring binoculars to get a good look. The route weaves through rainforests, palm forests, and kangaroo grasslands all the way to the tip of Wategos Beach, where the lighthouse stands. The whole walk should take about two hours, but there are various entry points along the trail, so you can take a shorter route if desired.
Byron Bay Lighthouse
Byron Bay Lighthouse stands tall on the horizon, perched at Australiaâs easternmost point on the tip of Wategos Beach. Book a tour to learn about the seafaring history of the area, and get a chance to climb to the top to take in jaw-dropping views of the ocean. If youâre lucky, you might spot some humpbacks or dolphins diving through the waves below.
Surfing
Because itâs sheltered from the harsher winds of other beaches along the bay, Wategos is a great spot for surfing in gentle conditions. Beginners, families, and those just looking for a more leisurely experience favour this spot, where the waves come on a little slower but still provide a satisfying crash against the soft sandy shore.
