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

It was such a pleasure hosting you and your friend for your birthday. I am so happy that you enjoyed the Farmers markets and the restaurants that I recommended to you. See you next time.

Had a wonderful stay. Such an amazing location. Great for the Thursday market. Loved the outside garden, especially early morning.Bed hugely comfy, great to have the rotating fan. The air con unit in the living room wasn’t very cooling though.Guests staying around this time, should also be aware of the construction and drilling noises next door. A Tupperware box containing possibly some food stuff was in the fridge when we arrived. We have left this as it was.

Hi Lorraine, thank you for your review, and i am glad that you enjoyed your stay. My cleaner humbly apologies as she left her lunch in the fridge. She just totally forgot about it as she had to rush to another job. The buliding works have finished but they had to do a couple of minor fixes, and now all that noise has finished.

Great location, easy walk to most areas of Byron Bay. Nice outdoor area to relax and let the dog run around. Very friendly and helpful host. Would highly recommend this property.
Absolutely gorgeous apartment within 5 minutes walk of town and beach. Very clean and well equipped, particularly the kitchen. Great to have a private outdoor space which was nice and shady. Clear check in and out instructions and quick responses from owner.
Great location, amazing apartment and incredibly helpful host!
Highly recommend Lois’ apartment for the perfect Byron Bay stay. Location is ideal, apartment is beautiful and Lois was extremely helpful! Thanks will be back for sure!
A relaxing place to stay. Loved the outdoor areas. Great location easy to walk to market and town but nice and quiet. One extra that would be nice to have is shower gel.
We had a nice stay at Besakih Apartment. Very central with just a 5 min walk into the centre. Host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you Lois for your hospitality!
Our stay at Lois’s place was great! Just a friend and I for 4 nights, perfect location to walk into town, clean, tidy & had everything we needed. Thanks Lois, until next time :)

Hi Lee,

Warm regards

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!
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.

About the host
Hosted by Lois Vickery-Hall
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.!
