Bi-fold doors bring views of the tropical landscaping right into the open-plan living area which has a double-height ceiling, gleaming wood flooring and comfy cushioned seating around the large-screen TV. It's a place to relax, close your eyes and dream, surrounded by soft music and a harmony of natural timber, stone and glass melding with the pastel coloured decor. After a day by the pool or surfing at the beach, this spacious area is a natural gathering place for social dining at the table in an atmosphere of comfort and luxury.
Cooking:
The well-equipped kitchen is a chef's dream and is fully equipped for catering for large parties and weddings receptions. The Jura coffee machine starts the day at a gentle pace but keen cooks may be inspired to create something more ambitious with the upscale Miele kitchen appliances including the double oven, microwave, cooktop and dishwasher. Plan a BBQ by the pool with friends or sip drinks and dine on the covered deck after dark. There are ample dining options in this well-planned holiday retreat in Byron Bay.
Sleeping:

The Honeymoon Suite is separate from the main building with its own bathroom, terrace and alluring day-bed. The Garden Room is also in a separate pavilion with ensuite bathroom and doors opening onto the garden. The Piano Room and Little Fern Room are adjacent to each other to create their own pavilion. They share a bathroom which is accessed directly from/through the Piano Room, or along the outdoor deck/walkway (for guests in the Little Fern Room).

The main terrace spills out from the living area and provides ample covered patio space for entertaining, BBQs or family dining beneath the starry sky. The pool is surrounded by another spacious deck. Dangle your feet in the wading pool or relax in the sun on comfy lounge chairs. Quieter space can be found on the Yoga Deck. You may even be tempted to catch an afternoon nap on the day bed on the private verandah attached to the Honeymoon Suite.

2 spaces are provided in the garage as well as one off-street disabled carpark.
Location
The piece de resistance of Barefoot at Broken is its beachfront location. An easy 150m footpath through the dunes brings you onto the quiet sandy beach and rolling surf of Broken Head at the southern end of Tallows Beach. See the native Ti-trees in neighbouring Arakwal National Park just 3km down the road. It's a place to share with rare native wallabies and goannas while listening to the sound of native birds.
Whale-watching and dolphin-spotting are ideal from the Broken Head headland, or from the nearby Cape Byron Headland. Enjoy a refreshing stroll up the 3.7km Lighthouse Loop with panoramic coastal views before heading into Byron town for breakfast and shopping at the designer stores or food markets.
Shopping, bars and restaurants can be found at Suffolk Park, 2km away, or in Byron Bay itself, 7km from your luxury holiday home.
Weddings:
This is the only location in Byron Bay that is officially approved for weddings. Enjoy a barefoot wedding on the beach before returning to Barefoot at Broken for a catered reception poolside on the spacious deck and garden terraces, or indoors at the elegant dining table for 20. Separate pavilions allow overnight guests their own private space - and there's a private honeymoon suite too.
Barefoot at Broken offers the capacity of 70 guests. Curfew for non-staying guests 9pm. To hold a reception there is a four night minimum stay three nights midweek and a reception fee. Contact us for more information.
Get married around lunchtime and wind away the afternoon through the sunset with your guests.
