Shirley Blue - Byron Bay Accommodation

Shirley Blue is a self-contained holiday house at 22 Shirley Lane, on the quiet north side of Byron Bay a couple of blocks from Belongil Beach. It is genuinely pet-friendly rather than pets-by-exception, and the whole setup is built around walking distance to the dog beach, which makes it a strong pick for a dog-led Byron stay.

Dogs at the house

Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, usually one dog, and you are asked to disclose the breed when booking. A dog fee applies, so confirm the amount at booking. Dogs are allowed inside the house, which helps in a place where verandahs and a private garden are part of the appeal, though the usual care around furniture is expected. A strict no-party policy and a rule against noise after 9pm protect the quiet residential street, so this suits settled dogs and quiet groups rather than large gatherings.

The vibe

It is a three-bedroom house with a separate studio option, styled with antiques and relaxed coastal decor, broad verandahs, a private garden and a cabana barbecue area for outdoor living. Guest feedback highlights the outdoor bath, the antiques and the walking distance to both the beach and town. It suits couples or small families who want a characterful base rather than a resort apartment.

Getting there and parking

Shirley Lane has on-site parking in a quiet lane setting, with the town centre and the Thursday farmers market about a five-minute walk via the rear bike path. The Belongil Beach South dog exercise area is roughly two blocks away, across the railway line, so morning and evening off-lead runs need no car at all.

Pair it with

The Belongil Beach South - Dog Exercise Area is the headline: an off-lead stretch where your dog can run the wet sand, with dunes off limits to protect shorebirds. In town, Folk Byron Bay is a popular dog-friendly breakfast stop, and The Farm Byron Bay a short drive west welcomes dogs around its grounds. Browse more NSW stays or the Byron Bay guide.
