Jeannie and Jim were lovely hosts - they left a bottle of wine in the fridge for our 30th wedding anniversary! It was a pleasure to meet Jeannie half way through our stay. She apologised for the construction work next door and gave us a 10% discount for the inconvenience of the noise. The guest house was in a great location close to beach and town but still in a leafy quiet area. Very comfortable and attractively decorated.

About the host

Hosted by Jeannie Merritt

Hi, I’m Jeannie,
I’ve lived in Byron Bay for 35 years and absolutely love the lifestyle here.
I’m passionate about creating a space where people can truly relax and feel at home — whether you’re here to unwind, explore, or just soak up the magic of Byron.

Hosting guests at The Genie House is something I genuinely enjoy. It’s a pleasure to share a home filled with history, charm, and a little bit of Byron’s soul.
We’ve put a lot of love into making it a welcoming place for families, couples, and their furry friends.
I’m always nearby if you need anything — but I totally respect your privacy, so you can settle in and make yourself at home.

My goal is simple: that you leave feeling rested, happy, and already planning your next trip back!

Why they chose this property

We love the laid-back lifestyle that Byron Bay offers. Mornings often start with a surf or a peaceful walk up to the lighthouse, taking in the stunning ocean views along the way. We enjoy being so close to town, with its mix of local cafes, markets, and some truly incredible restaurants — from fresh seafood to vibrant Asian and Italian spots.

One of our favourite things about this part of Byron is the easy pace — you can walk or bike almost everywhere, exploring the back streets and discovering hidden corners of the town. The beaches are close enough for a spontaneous swim, and there’s a real sense of community here that makes it feel warm and welcoming.

The Genie House is tucked into a quiet neighbourhood, so you can enjoy peace and privacy, but still have all the best of Byron just a short walk away. It’s the perfect balance of relaxed beach living with everything you need at your fingertips.

What makes this property unique

The Genie House combines authentic Byron charm, true family and pet-friendliness, relaxed comfort, and an unbeatable quiet-yet-close location.
It’s the perfect base for a real Byron Bay experience.
