Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay

Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay is a 28-acre holiday park on Broken Head Road, just south of town toward Suffolk Park, and one of the few parks in the Byron area that takes dogs. It pairs cabins and powered sites with an on-site dog wash and a fenced off-leash run, and it sits a short walk from the dog-friendly end of Tallow Beach, which is the real reason to book here with a dog.

Dogs at the Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay

Dogs are allowed only on designated pet sites and in specific pet-friendly cabins, and stays must be pre-arranged and approved by the park manager. The standard limit is one dog per booking unless you arrange otherwise in advance, and a cleaning fee of around $200 can apply if a pet cabin is left soiled.

Inside the park the rules are strict: dogs stay on a secure lead any time they are out of your cabin, van or tent, they may only be walked on the park roadways, and they are excluded from communal facilities including pools, camp kitchens and playgrounds. The fenced off-leash run and the dog wash are where the park earns its pet-friendly reputation.

The vibe

The park sits in a bushland setting away from the Byron traffic crawl, with cabins and caravan sites spread across the acreage. Book well ahead: pet-friendly stock is limited and Byron demand is unforgiving, especially over summer and school holidays.

Getting there

The park fronts Broken Head Road on the way south to Suffolk Park and Broken Head, roughly a 10-minute walk from the Tallow Beach access. By car it is about 10 minutes from central Byron Bay, with parking at your site or cabin.

While you're out there

Tallow Beach Dog Exercise Area at the Suffolk Park end is the headline act, with Belongil Beach South Dog Exercise Area as the northern alternative. Jimmy's Coffee Suffolk Park is the closest dog-friendly coffee stop, and Discovery Parks Byron Bay is another pet-welcoming option if the park is full.
