Byron Bay Farm Cottages

Byron Bay

I stayed at Byron Bay Farm Cottages with my partner, 24 year old daughter and 10 year old son.  We all loved it.  So much to do!  We spent time with the cows and chickens, spent hours bush walking and exploring the huge property, kayaking on the lake and relaxing.  I couldn’t recommend this place enough.  It was perfect and Ange was so kind and welcoming.  We will definitely return.

Perfect place for the whole family

We have been here a few times before. This time my Beloved and i took our friends. Well................. what a kertfuffle. The Booking .com said 2x toilets.... WRONG. Larger tv........WRONG. Bbq................... WRONG. Needless to say we were IRKEDX100. The place is as it always is..... FABBO. However recent fencing additions mean the farm experience is not as good as it was. Also if they have guests turning up.....how about some cows for Gods sake. We can stay at home and experience No cows for free.

booking .com , but not as you know it

Arrival
When we arrived at the property we were directed to a cottage via a note. Unfortunately, the cottage looked nothing like the images in the listing. When we complained we were told we were given an upgrade and the host was shocked we didn’t appreciate it. The host took us to a second cottage more similar to the images, however one of the beds was unmade. We agreed to stay only the one night on the basis of a refund for the second night. The host agreed however reneged the next morning.
	
Internet
In the Airbnb listing the host states that the internet has “Continuous access”. This was not correct. The host advised us verbally, (supported in their guest book) that“….(the internet) connection can be poor and unreliable! Sorry – but if it is not working when you try, there’s not much that can be done to fix it, except give it time!”. 

Hot water
First shower ran warm for less than five minutes. The host said to wait 30 minutes for the next shower.  If 3 guests are staying it means the host expects guests to have 2 minute showers or to wait twice for 30 minutes between each shower. The listing clearly states “Hot water” not “Please limit your showers to 2 minutes as the hot water runs out.” 

Cleanliness
The place was. Little dusty and the single bed was unmade. The water in the bathroom sink ran brown. The surrounding property and road were covered in excrement.

Summary
To sum up this was very poor experience, The listing was misleading. The host did not provide the promised refund.

Misleading: What you see is not what we got!

I couldn't believe how close Byron Bay was to the farm stay cottages on Bangalow Rd. After having an idyllic stay right on the esplanade in Bryon last year for Splendour, we decided to go again, but this time for the 30th Anniversary of the Blues Fest.  The cottages are quite easy to find and the owners were very responsive to email. They had sent us the directions as well. We stayed in one of the cottages,  which had a double and a single bed in the one room. The view off the deck was inspiring, especially since we could see the full moon rise. A shuttle bus collected us one evening and dropped us home from the festival. The weather was a little rainy which only added to the magic. The kitchen could have been a little better stocked with additional wine glasses and a serving platter or two. Friendly hosts close by if you needed anything. 

Where the farmland meets the sea

We travelled as a couple, staying in cottage 2, with friends staying in cottage 3, overlooking the dam. The farm is in a great location, handy for exploring Byron Bay and the gorgeous surrounding historic towns of Newrybar and Bangalow. There's plenty to see and places to eat close by, including The Farm. Our stay was just prior to Easter and the music festival so traffic was hectic in Byron, however we parked at North Beach Station, and caught the new solar train into town which was perfect! We then retreated back to our farm stay to enjoy the peace and quiet. There's a camp fire just below the cottages we were in, which we enjoyed while having wine and nibbles for dinner, overlooking the dam. The cottages are well maintained, very clean and well stocked for a self catered stay. We did have intermittent rain during our stay but could still enjoy the surrounds from our covered balcony.

Tranquil destination, perfectly located to explore Byron and surrounds

We only booked for a couple of nights, but will DEFINITELY book for longer in future.

What an amazing location - close to the beautiful town of Bangalow, with it's lovely crafts, antiques, cafes and general shopping. Heading the other way, only minutes drive into the bustle and excitement that is Byron.

The Farm - a delightful, operational farm, with a wonderful lake area, access to the animals, walking and bike tracks. Just perfect. Even a little firepit area right next to the lake, but an easy stroll from the cabins.

The cabins - Perfect! Overlooking the lake, the cabins are extremely neat and well-appointed. Everything works perfectly, including TV and Air Con for us city slickers.

The hosts - Super lovely people with a real passion for hosting and the local area. Up for a chat!

Thank you again for the stay (and finding my shirt and offering to post it back).

Rob and Nicholaine.

I wish we had booked for a longer stay

This place is a haven of peace. It is a farm located 5/10 minutes drive from the center of Byron Bay. The owners are charming. We were staying in a small bungalow with all the necessary amenities. The property is very large, and can be walked around on foot. There is a pond where you can swim or canoe. I highly recommend this place!!
