Inside, antique teak wood and rattan Indonesian furniture, coupled with beautiful polished bamboo timber floors, give the apartment a welcoming Balinese feel. There are two bedrooms.

The apartment has a very large private tropical garden, with an outdoor covered dining area. Large stone statues throughout the garden create a wonderful tropical atmosphere. The garden is secure making it a great place for young children to play and pets to be secure.

Overall, Besakih offers guests a beautifully furnished private garden apartment in a fabulous location and represents outstanding value for money!

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

Besakih's location has so much going for it! The apartment is in a quiet, tucked away position in town, with no through traffic. Yet we have absolutely everything right on our door step, the beach, shops, famous Markets and farmers markets ,restaurants, pubs and cinemas.

A 100m walk from Besakih and you are at Main Beach and the Byron Bay Surf Club, the only patrolled beach in Byron. This is the most sheltered beach in Byron . There is also a public swimming pool at the Main Beach carpark.

Besakih is directly opposite the site of the famous Byron Markets held on the 1st Sunday of every month, and Every Thursday a Farmers Market sells fresh local organic produce from the site, and is a great place to source some great local fruit,vegies and locally made food.

SO MANY THINGS TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME

The Main Beach of Byron is a popular spot for walkers. Many people walk to The Pass and back, enjoying the fantastic scenery and maybe stopping for breakfast at Clarkes Beach Cafe. A popular walk with locals is doing The Lighthouse walk. This popular walk starts at Main Beach and travels to The Pass, through Palm Valley onto Wategos Beach and continues up to The Lighthouse.

Of course the beach is fantastic! Because it is North facing there is a fabulous view back across the mountains that you could never get tired of. It is common to have dolphins swim in the bay close to shore, they will often surf the waves with swimmers and board riders. Most surf lesson guarantee you will stand on your board or your money back!

The Pass is a lovely beach and it sometimes becomes a tidal lagoon, which is great fun for the kids. People sometimes fish in the lagoon but it is not there all year round. There are lots of beautiful Pandanus trees at The Pass and nice BBQ areas.

I have a 3 bedroom villa at Belongil beach and I also
have a 2 bedroom villa at Belongil Beach so if you
would like information about either of these properties then please call me on 0416263298

Great except for misleading advertisement

Great location and photos give accurate depiction of this ground floor apartment and its facilities including its private outdoor seating and eating areas in a lovely tropical garden.This ground floor apartment was spotless, cupboards were stocked with a range of useful items we might need if cooking.The advertisement stated the apt sleeps 4 with a queen bed in one room and two singles in the other and we thought that’s perfect for us with a couple and 2 others not sharing a bed but the advertisement is actually misleading as we were eventually charged an extra person fee for having four people ! We are contacting Bookabach to advise they make sure their advertisements are more accurate.

Great

Everything was fine with no issues - excellent location opposite the farmers market and really close walk to town and beaches.Apartment was well equipped with everything we needed.Worth noting that there is a construction site over the fence which wasn’t mentioned when we booked so we had a couple of early mornings being woken up by diggers, and materials being delivered. No fault of the owners but could have been mentioned as a courtesy.

Lovely!

The apartment was ideal for our small group (2 x couples). It was great to be so close to the town and the beach, and a particularly easy walk to the bus terminal. Beds were comfy, shower was great, living area a good size and a very nice shady garden. Happy Easter!

Beautiful Accommodation

We wish we had booked 10 days. What a beautiful place to land. The unit is as beautiful as the pictures. It's super quiet, super convenient, a farmers market across the street, so close to the beach and amenities. The garden is bliss. I could go on.

Response for Lois

We have stayed at numerous holiday homes in several countries and never been expected to supply dishwashing liquid or toilet paper. Had we purchased dishwashing liquid we would have had to leave it behind because we are from overseas and it would make a mess in the luggage during the flight. The American girl upstairs has been there two years - we talked with her and she told us that. If you are not going to supply the bare minimum basics then say so - that way people can make an informed decision and/or bring those supplies in advance. Afterall, how is one supposed to know what the previous guest has left or not left?

Pretty Place With Some Issues

We spent a week at Besakih. The decor is gorgeous and so well done that it looks as though it was decorated by a professional. The furniture was of good quality and I loved all of the Balinese accents. We live on 10 acres but the courtyard was so stunning that I began thinking how nice it would be to have one just like it. So many stone statues placed just right and lush tropical foliage. The shower was excellent. Loved the showerhead and the shower floor which was very safe for someone who has mobility issues. And the bathroom mirror was to die for. The kitchen was well stocked too. The issues were that upon arrival there was only half a roll of toilet paper which meant we had to go buy some. The property description said one has to bring their own toiletries which I take to mean shampoo, soap, etc - I would not consider toilet paper a toiletry. There was very little dishwashing liquid and I rang Lois to let her know and she said to either add water to the remaining liquid to make it last longer or buy a new bottle. I was not going to buy something that should come with the unit so we had to wash dishes with diluted liquid that probably did not clean things as well. The listing also says this is a quiet place but our upstairs neighbours, who live there, were noisy, particulary the young American woman. The morning after we arrived she was on her balcony at 7.00AM making phone calls. She had a very, very loud voice and it woke us up and we could literally hear everything she said. We left at 9.30 to go to the market across the road and she was still talking. Her voice literally drowned out the two resident kookaburras. We had to vacate our apartment on departure day well before our flight left so we hoped to sleep in but that was not possible because at 7.30AM their stereo came on very loudly. Ironically it got turned down by 9.00AM. On balance, this is a lovely place but should we come back to Byron Bay we would either opt to stay at one of other, cheaper and quite nice apartments at Somerset or somewhere else entirely.

I have been holiday letting my beautiful properties for over 13 years. I love my hometown with a passion and love sharing it with holiday guests. It is a wonderful town with stunning scenery and lots of great things to do and see.

Why they chose this property

Besakih has it all.! Located close to the centre of town, which makes it an idea place to stay if you fly in and don't want the hassle of renting a car as you can walk everywhere, yet it is in a quiet, peaceful location. Its greatest asset is its huge lush garden ,with outdoor covered dining Bale, where you can while away the afternoon with a bottle of champagne and some great food.

What makes this property unique

Its central location, its quiet peaceful location, its beautiful lush gardens, its super comfy beds.!
