Architectural Rainforest Retreat – Luxe Byron Bay Stay Heated Pool, Pet Friendly

Designed by acclaimed architect Harley Graham, this solar-powered eco-lodge offers an immersive nature experience just moments from Broken Head Beach. Wake to birdsong in airy, light-filled spaces where smart glass walls blur the line between indoors and out. Spend your days exploring hidden beaches, swimming in the healing Tea Tree Lake or unwinding in your private magnesium plunge pool!

• Broken Head Beach – 5 mins walk, Tea Tree Lake – 7 mins walk
• Rainwater Harvesting
• Pet-friendly

This isn't just a stay — it's an immersive experience. Every detail harmonizes with the environment, from vanishing glass walls that dissolve boundaries between forest and home to infinity-edge magnesium plunge pool to soak under a blanket of stars!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ YOUR SANCTUARY IN THE TREETOPS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* 4 north-facing bedrooms (3 kings, 2 singles) with resort-grade linens + 3 bathrooms, 2 of which are master ensuites. One is a freestanding bathtub where you'll soak to the soundtrack of the rainforest!
* Chef's dream kitchen — warm timber, top-tier appliances and an island for shared laughter.
* Wrap-around deck — your stage for sunrise yoga or twilight wine sessions!

+ Smart HDTV with free-to-air and streaming apps
+ Dedicated Workspace
+ Washer & Dryer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LIVE THE BROKEN HEAD DREAM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MORNING >
Wake to sunlight filtering through the treetops and the distant murmur of waves. Brew coffee in the chef's kitchen, then wander 7 minutes through the rainforest to Tea Tree Lake — its tannin-stained waters glowing at dawn.

AFTERNOON >
Return for lunch on your north-facing deck, surrounded by birdsong. Hike to Broken Head Beach (5 minutes away) to surf, sunbathe or explore the tidal pools.

EVENING >
Rinse off in the magnesium plunge pool as the sky turns gold. Fire up the Weber BBQ on the deck, listening for rustling leaves (yes, that might be a wallaby passing by).

NIGHT >
Fall asleep to the rainforest's hum, or step outside to see the stars — no light pollution, just the Milky Way above the canopy.

* For Your Furry Travel Companions: We welcome well-behaved dogs (approved in advance). While the deck is secure, note: the yard isn't fenced. Dog-friendly Suffolk Park Beach is a 2-minute drive away.

* For Your Little Explorers: We welcome families with young children! A cot, highchair and selection of kids' books are provided for your convenience.

The rainforest setting offers endless natural discovery, while nearby Broken Head Beach provides safe swimming and sandcastle-building fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ADVENTURES AT YOUR DOORSTEP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

→ For the wild-hearted: Secret rainforest trails leading to hidden beaches
→ For the foodies: Suffolk Park's artisan bakeries (a 15-minute beach walk)
→ For the explorers: Kayak around the base of Byron's lighthouse at dawn

This is more than a getaway — it's a reunion with what matters: salt air, slow sunsets and the joy of being utterly present!

What Guests Say:
“Lovely spot for a relaxing family stay with young kids. House was beautiful and had everything needed for good home cooked meals with kids, and pool was a winner all times of day with perfect temperature.”
“Such an amazing property in such a beautiful spot! The view from the kitchen and living area was so peaceful. We had some rain during our trip but it made it all the more peaceful!”
“Absolutely beautiful overlooking bushland in a secluded Cul de sac. 5-minute drive to shops, 5-minute walk to the beach. Fabulous!”

Best VRBO stay ever!
We have been traveling around Australia for 2 months going from one VRBO to another. And this home was by far the nicest! Looks brand new, everything works. Amazing house. If I were to change anything: softer beds and heated pool.

Fantastic House
Beautiful house in a beautiful secluded bushland.The house was so comfortable and relaxing.The balcony and pool area was fantastic for our large family to relax together but also have their own space.Beautifully furnished and wonderful ambiance.Only issue was noisy neighbours(it was over holiday time)and house had no central bathroom/toilet which was strange but otherwise fabulous.

Amazing property, location and A1 hosts!
Beautiful property to say least and the house is huge! The top level has an amazing kitchen, huge lounge area with very comfortable and practical furniture, outdoor area with lovely furniture and bean bags, massive balcony, pool, BBQ area, 2 x master bedrooms with ensuites. Downstairs is a whole other house almost. With a well equipped kitchenette, another massive lounge room and another 2 bedrooms with a seperate bathroom between the 2 rooms, but not interconnected which is perfect for teenagers. You could have a large family of 6-8 or 2 x families of 4 stay there and be very comfortable and happy, The lower lever opens up onto a beautiful grassed area over looking the bush land. The host/owners are incredible and respond to any questions very quickly and are very accommodating especially if you have little dog like we do and the upper level is fully fenced enclosed for you little doggie family member. We will back very soon! Loved, loved it. Only thing I can say is that there is powder room so if you have visitors they will need to use one of the ensuites which was not a problem for us as we are not that precious. Very close to the beach too and everything 😊

Private Luxury!
Our stay at the Eco Lodge was incredible - everything is so beautifully presented with thoughtful detail. The view from every room is serene and the close proximity to Broken Head’s beautiful beaches is ideal! Amanda was so attentive during our stay and checked that we had everything we needed. This place is perfect for families or groups, and even better for a romantic couples getaway. We can’t wait to come back!
