Byron Bay Holiday Rentals

In 1770, British explorer James Cook managed to successfully anchor in a small port in Southeast Australia. He named the location after the soon-to-be-famous Byron family, which produced one Lord Byron, the renowned rebel Romantic poet. Small wonder, then, that Byron Bay eventually became a haven for relaxed living, as well as a place to soak up the sun, burrow on the beach, and consume delicious food. Indeed, Byron Bay holiday rentals are the perfect getaway from the stress of the daily grind.

Interestingly, the people who originally settled the area gave it a name that means "meeting place," and short-term apartment rentals in Byron Bay are a great places group up before setting out to see the sights. Byron Bay itself offers plenty of diversions, including the main beach, which often features yoga enthusiasts and fire dancers; Captain Cook Lookout (keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife in the nearby rainforest); and the city’s downtown area, with its hopping bar scene replete with local brews. Once you’ve had your fill of relaxation, seek out a little adventure. Nature lovers and explorers can hike along on a bushwalk through the Hinterland area, enjoying beautiful views and quaint villages. Visit Lennox Head for a little fishing or hang gliding, or just to enjoy great fish and chips. There’s also a bevy of golf courses that lie a mere 45-minute drive away.
