OUR GUIDE TO OUR BEAUTIFUL REGION
Overlooking the sand and sea of Belongil Beach, Bluewater’s location is an invitation not only to the beautiful ocean environment, but also to the wider culture and landscapes of Byron Bay and surrounds.
Walk south along the sand and find yourself in the heart of Byron Bay township, or jump in your car to discover hidden gems in the hinterland.
Here we share some of our favourite places to visit and explore during your stay.
ADVENTURE & EXPLORE
Situated on beautiful Bundjalung Country, there is so much nature to explore in Byron Bay and surrounds.
Take yourself for a morning walk up to the famous Cape Byron (Walgun) lighthouse situated on Australia’s most easterly point – keep an eye out for whales, dolphins and the odd turtle. Back down at sea level, The Pass awaits with crystal clear water and some of the best waves for both beginner and experienced surfers. Heading out of town, you can’t miss a stop at The Farm – home to the cutest farm animals you’ll ever meet, along with the culinary delights of Bread Social bakery, Three Blue Ducks and Baylato. For the adventurous souls, Zephyr Horses offers unique trail rides that take you through stunning coastal flora and fauna. Leave the saltwater behind and head inland to explore the hinterland’s many waterfalls and bushwalks. Killen Falls is a 1km return bush walk from the carpark and is a beautiful spot for a freshwater swim, or head to the top of Goonengerry falls in Goonengerry National Park where you’ll find waterholes overlooking the lush green Wanganui Gorge.

WAKE UP & CAFFEINATE
There’s no shortage of incredible coffee and breakfast options in Byron Bay and surrounds.
For a nourishing housemade and homegrown menu in a garden setting, take a short trip down the road to Folk. Tucked away in the Industrial Estate, we recommend the asian-inspired bowls at Tones and the delicious Happy Days breakfast plate at Happy Days. Back in Byron township, you’ll find the ever popular Bayleaf Café, famous for its seasonal menu and signature drinks, and Top Shop, a local favourite near The Pass and Clarkes Beach. If you're heading into the hinterland for the day, make a morning stop at Woods in Bangalow.

WINE & DINE
Wash off the sand and slip into some evening attire for a night of great food and even better drinks.
Just a short stroll down the road from Bluewater is Treehouse, a longstanding icon in the Byron Bay food scene famous for their woodfired pizzas and live music. Head into town to Bang Bang, the perfect destination for modern Asian cuisine and eclectic cocktails. Or book a table at Pixie, for a stunning fit-out and a Sicilian-inspired menu. Kouzina in the Industrial Estate is a quaint Greek restaurant serving up a set menu each night. Venture further afield to Bangalow and settle into You Beauty for a classic corner pub experience with a fine dining twist. Or if you’re looking for a lunch option, The Hut on Friday Hut Road offers Mediterranean fine dining in the hinterland (you’ll want to set aside an afternoon for this one).
