10 Things We Love About The Surf House
At The Surf House, we live and breathe the Byron Bay way. More than accommodation, we’re like your playful yet practical mate. The all-rounder. The one who likes to have a good time and meet new people, just as much as we love to hit the waves and recommend new spots for the next adventure. In between time spent under the sun and in the sand, we love to chill out in a space that combines quality with quirk.
Now that we’ve introduced ourself, let’s dive into the specific details of what makes The Surf House one of Byron Bay’s best accommodation options. Of course we’re biased. But if you look at our ratings on Google, TripAdvisor or Hostelworld, you’ll see we aren’t the only ones who think The Surf House is a winner. Below are just some of the reasons why The Surf House is so great…
10 Reasons To Book A Stay At The Surf House, Byron Bay

We take our Surf House name very seriously. So, from the moment you step inside our door (with its brass mermaid accent), your eyes will be met with the best surfy details.

It’s all part of the charm that makes The Surf House such a cool place to getaway.

Recently refurbished, these communal areas are also decked out with Byron Bay imagery, and heaps of powerpoints and tables for you to use. The kitchen includes all the kinds of appliances you need to create your own epic Byron Bay-style meals, including smoothie blenders, toasters, cooktops, and loads of fridge space.
