About this property

Voted Top 10 holiday home Aus 2023 - Luxury 4 br Byron Cottage / heated pool

The Palm Cottage has been listed in the top ten holiday homes in Australia for 2023! And for good reason......

The Palm Cottage is a beautifully restored character filled cottage in the best location in Byron Bay. Located within walking distance to town and the beaches, it is also right next door to The Bower Resort and The General Store cafe. The Bay Grocer is a two minute stroll and provides luxury groceries as well as great coffee and take away food.

The Palm Cottage guests are treated to daily sunrises and sunsets from the house. Imagine waking to the sun rising on the front balcony whilst you enjoy sitting in a swinging chair. And later in the evening, enjoying cocktails on the back deck as the sunset is seen through the palm trees.

The Palm boasts ample living space, perfect for up to two families of up to 8. The master bedroom has a luxurious super king sized bed, luxury linens, pillows and bedding for the most comfortable nights sleep. There is a large air conditioning unit to keep you cool and a smart TV, an en-suite with bath and separate shower as well as French doors leading to an intimate covered deck. It overlooks the heated pool and guests can walk straight from their bedroom out to the pool for a morning dip.

The oversized second bedroom has the same luxurious king bed as well as a cosy sun filled day bench to relax and unwind. There is also a 55inch LED TV, reverse cycle air conditioning and a ceiling fan.

The third bedroom contains yet another king sized bed which can be converted to two single beds if required (please confirm this at time of booking) as well as reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fan.

There is also a sunroom/4th bedroom which has a small workspace and a tranquil sunny outlook and can be used as a fourth bedroom with double bed for extra guests. Please note, there is a Dyson portable fan but no air conditioning in this room.

The updated separate bathroom has a large rain shower and WC whilst still retaining its original charm.

The stylish lounge is the perfect space to relax after a day at the beach with the original fireplace as the centre piece, chandelier and luxury pieces curated from Byron and beyond. There is another 50 inch smart LED TV with complimentary Netflix, Chromecast and all free to air channels. We provide unlimited free NBN WIFI for our guests during their stay.

The traditional farmhouse kitchen has electric cooktop, oven, grill, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine and all the essentials for guests wishing to cook during their stay.

The formal lounge off the kitchen is bright and sunny and has access to the back deck which has further dining options as well as outdoor seating and BBQ.

The pool off the deck is the perfect size for dip or to sit and enjoy an afternoon cocktail on the sun filled daybed with its built in ice cooler to keep drinks cool whilst you swim.

There is a remote controlled access garage for 2 cars as well as front and back decks and and a fenced grassy garden with pool and an outside shower. We do allow well behaved pooches (and other pets) to stay too. Please talk to us about this before booking.

We also have an internal laundry with a huge 10 kilo washer and dryer. We offer a complimentary mid stay clean for guests who stay for 8 nights or more whereby we change linens, towels, toiletries etc and refresh the home for you. There is no charge for this service.

We also have 4 bikes for our guests as well as sun umbrellas, beach bags, beach towels and complimentary sunscreen for your stay.

There are luxury amenities such as shampoo, conditioners, body washes from local brands and the fridge is stocked with complimentary juice from our friends at Byron Bay Cold Pressed Juice to welcome you on arrival.

We know The Palm Cottage is a special place. That’s why we want you to love it as much as we do and we go out of our way to ensure you and your group have the best experience when staying here.

If there is something special you need during your stay, just reach out and we will arrange it for you.

Ticked so many boxes for us … loved it ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay at this super cute cottage. We loved the eclectic design and attention to detail, the provision of key supplies, the multiple spaces to sit or lie where you could be together or apart and the overall design. It was a compact space but worked extremely well for us as a family of 4 with 2 adult daughters. We loved the excellent air conditioning in every room and the fact that we could have our beautiful golden retriever stay with us and have a holiday too was just the best. We would very happily come back to this happy little house. Thank you 🥰

Me and my hubby spent our honeymoon at Palm Cottage. We could not recommend this place enough! Such a beautiful home - to top it off, we could bring our two beautiful fur babies along too.
