Experiences & Activities

The Byron Bay region offers a range of outdoor experiences, from ocean-based activities to aerial and hinterland adventures.

Popular options include surfing lessons, scuba diving, and scenic experiences such as hot air ballooning and skydiving.

Whale watching is one of Byron’s most memorable seasonal experiences — explore our guide to whale watching in Byron Bay.

Events & Festivals

Byron Bay hosts a number of well-known festivals and events throughout the year, including the Byron Writers Festival, and seasonal food and music events.

If you’re planning your stay around an event, it’s worth checking what’s on ahead of time, as the area can become busier during these periods.

For current events, a quick search closer to your travel dates will give the most up-to-date listings.

Staying in Broken Head allows you to enjoy all of these experiences while returning to a quieter, more private setting at the end of the day.

Guest comments

Most beautiful, luxurious place we have ever stayed! It had all of the things that we enjoyed such as bikes, yoga mats and chairs to relax in on the deck that overlooked the gorgeous gardens. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to a friend and I will be staying here again in the future for a lovely getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay it was awesome!! Close proximity to the beach and the house itself was beyond belief!!

From the moment we opened the door we were greeted with beautiful high ceilings, stunning timber floors and an AMAZING lush tropical garden where you could hear the waves crashing on the shore. This property is truly magical…

The property is of excellent quality and presented in immaculate condition. The wildlife is wonderful and there are beautiful walking tracks through the national park practically right at your back door.

A definite highlight was the ability to open up the doors off the studio and enjoy the natural surroundings including the sound of the ocean with the beach being a minute away! We absolutely loved every minute of our stay and found that the location was perfect…

We enjoyed so many things…. but an absolute highlight was watching the dolphins and whales from the lookout off broken head ….a gorgeous walk!!

…Above all it’s the serenity that sets this place apart as it’s seems to be engulfed but it’s own private rain forest.
