Unwind Guesthouse combines the privacy of individual suites with welcoming communal spaces, making it ideal for couples, small groups, or solo travellers seeking connection and seclusion in equal measure.

The design allows for both shared experiences and private moments, creating a genuine home-away-from-home.
The accommodation is thoughtfully appointed for comfort and ease. Each spacious suite features air-conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries and hairdryer, wardrobe storage, and a flat-screen TV. Fresh linens, modern finishes, and tranquil styling ensure a restful stay. Laundry facilities and free on-site private parking add further convenience.
Beyond the guesthouse, Byron Bay’s iconic attractions are all within easy reach. Tallow Beach is just a 17-minute walk, while Byron Bay Golf Course, Cape Byron Lighthouse, and the surrounding hinterland are only a short drive away. For those arriving by air, Ballina Byron Gateway Airport is just 23 km from the property.
Whether you’re planning a coastal escape, a weekend with friends, or a longer stay to soak up Byron’s lifestyle, Unwind Guesthouse offers the perfect balance of accessibility and retreat.

What Our Guests Say…
This stay was so amazing!!!!! Highly recommend. Our room was extremely clean and felt at home. The communal kitchen was so organized and wonderful to use. The atmosphere was calming and comfortable. The host Eli and grant were so personable and friendly. Grant often drove us into town and to the airport ! So friendly and an amazing host. The location is a 5 -10 minute walk into town and 15 minute to the beach. We love it here and will be back! We also rented bikes from freedom machines and it was perfect.
We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed every moment. The place was spotless, beautifully presented, and exactly as described. It felt comfortable, welcoming, and very well thought out. The host was kind, responsive, and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.
Thank you
Nini
My accomodation was spotless, stylish & comfortable.
If you ever travel much, the next statement is worthwhile; I slept so well. Great pillows and bed. And for a festival long weekend, I was immensely appreciative to find a nice place to stay!
Deze accomodatie kan ik iedereen aanraden! De kamer is in een práchtig huis met veel ruimte, fijne bewoners, en voorzieningen waardoor je je meteen thuis voelt en tot rust kunt komen. De ligging is perfect, 5 minuten fietsen van het strand/centrum (tip: huur een fiets, veel fietsers in Byron Bay) maar toch rustig en stil. Ik heb mijn verblijf verlengd en zou zeker terugkomen.
Great stay! The room was very clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely stay again.
Beautiful, clean and relaxing place to stay in Byron. Had everything we needed and the hosts were really lovely and responsive. The property is in a good location for accessing the town centre, would definitely recommend. Thank you!
Wunderschöne Unterkunft in Byron! Alles genauso wie beschrieben, blitzsauber, neues Haus, tolle und helle Zimmer. Super organisiert! Wir haben uns direkt zu Hause gefühlt und Grand und Eli sind total liebe und herzliche Gastgeberinnen. Jederzeit wieder! 10/10 ⭐️
Loved this house! Newly renovated and super tidy and clean.
Lovely outdoor area and plenty of privacy in our own room.
Fantastic kitchen with all the amenities you could think of.
Would definitely stay again..
Beautiful spacious and spotless accommodation in a great location, with easy access to main roads for exploring etc. Walking distance to town centre yet it felt a world away. It was very peaceful there and the bed was really comfortable. House was well equipped, but bring a good book to read for downtime.
This guesthouse was so beautiful! So many nice common spaces but also a very clean and comfortable room. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and clean.
Really clean and comfortable home! Couldn’t recommend it enough, everything was perfect
Loved this accomodation, very clean, comfy bed, had everything I needed. It was also close to town but tucked nicely for peace and quiet :)
Clean, new and modern. We enjoyed flexible check-in time. The bed is very comfortable - the double sink bathroom and rain shower is the real highlight! The walk-in wardrobe space made it very easy to keep our things in place without clutter. The housekeeper also lives in the house so it was easy to touch base to ask questions. A minor inconvenience is that the floorboards do creak easily. Otherwise, we found the place very quiet and it is an easy walkable distance to the main town. We loved that the General Store was just around the corner for great coffee and brunch!
Great place to stay, even though there were other people in the house I felt like I had it all to myself and great to relax in - would definitely come back
We loved our 4 night stay here - absolutely no complaints! The house was relaxing, immaculately clean, secure and we enjoyed little luxuries like a luxe shower and bath products. The one other couple staying at the same time were friendly surf lovers and perfectly pleasant to share with. Loved having the Byron General Store round the corner for morning coffees. Highly recommend!
Loved our stay at this beautiful spot. I have stayed in countless places around Byron for over a decade and this is by far my new favourite. It was perfectly placed walking distance to everything but far away enough to be quiet and felt very safe.
the kitchen is HUGE and the bedroom was comfy, great bed, gorgeous ensuite.
Beautiful, modern, bright, clean house. Just a little outside the buzz of Byron Bay town but easily accessed with a 20 minute flat walk. No complaints or negatives. Would definitely stay again.
A truly beautiful place, however would have wished for a bit more proactive communication from the host.. felt a bit hearing people but never really seeing anyone in this big house…
Thank you so much we loved our time at the Sunrise Guesthouse! Super clean and modern rooms with comfortable bed and beautiful living spaces ! We loved it!
Lovely room with high quality finishes. Super comfy bed too. The house was spacious, bright and clean. The deck and small pool were perfect.
A long mirror in the bedroom would be a welcome addition.
Highly recommended!
The house was so clean and beautiful! Such a good location - only a 10 minute walk from the Main Street. Host was very responsive and room was extremely clean and comfortable. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and cannot wait to come back! Thank you guys again xx
Beautiful house with nice garden, on a calm street. Nice to have the general store cafe close, they have really good food! If you don't have a ride you can walk into the town and to the beach in around 15-20 min. The host is really friendly and will help you with anything you need. I recommend this place very much and I would love to come back and stay again!
Die Unterkunft ist wirklich ein Traum!! Wir wollen auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!
The house and the outside area is amazing! The rooms are very modern and super clean. A few more towels would have been nice but other than that it was perfect!
Absolutely beautiful house within walking distance of Byron Bay shops and main beach. Has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Byron Bay who doesn’t mind staying in a shared space!
We had a fantastic stay for 2 nights. Very clean and was made to feel like we were home. Will definitely go back and recommend to friends.
We had a lovely stay at Sunrise Guesthouse. Ally assisted with clear check in and check out information. The room was clean, super spacious and boasted one of the most comfortable beds.
The dynamic of the guesthouse was complex. It wasn’t clear whether other rooms in the house are rented long term. There were others staying in un-rentable rooms who seemed comfortable spreading out in the living areas but weren’t too friendly. It would have been helpful to be given a better understanding of the house dynamic prior to check in.
Overall, this didn’t detract from the stay. The location was absolutely perfect providing a short (approx. 750m) walk into town. This also meant parking during the extremely busy New Year period was effortless. The house is absolutely beautiful and very reasonably priced! Definitely recommend!
Very clean, bright and comfortable bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The house is spacious, very quiet and has all amenities we could have needed (but we did not really use the shared areas). Free parking on site and only 10min walk to Byron Bay center. We got all check in instruction texted the day before our arrival which made our way in very smooth and flexible !
Perfect for our short stay up Byron!
The house was really nice and modern, the room was lovely and the bed sipe comfy!
Beautiful house and great location with a quick walk to the General Store for breakfast. Didn’t want to leave!
Our stay was fantastic, extremely affordable for being so close to Byron Bay.
Very well kept, a stunning house with lots of security.
We’ll be back!
Absolutely loved our accommodation. Bed was comfortable. Pillows were comfortable. Bathroom was lovely. The entire house itself was very attractive. The only issue we had was the noise generated by other guests whether they were actually loud or whether the noise just travelled it disturbed our sleep and we did go away to try to get a bit of rest and recreation which we didn’t get. Everyone was friendly.
The location was perfect
The house is just amazing !
Alessandra was really kind and gave us some places to go
Just don’t forget you’re sharing the house with others persons
We’ll be back
We only stayed for one night in Byron but it was a lovely place to stay and I would recommend! Simple, clean, spacious and easy to get around Byron, plus you’re right next to General Store!
The House is brand new and quite impressive with open living space and an enjoyable backyard including pool.
The bedroom was decent size with smart TV, mirror wardrobe, immaculate linen and ammenities.
Host is lovely and always responsive. She is also flexible to accommodate various requests. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing stay ;))
Great place to stay
Ally was a fantastic host and the place was modern and clean
