What visitors mention
Pet policy
Yes. The Village Eco Stay Byron Bay permits dogs to stay overnight on their property, though you must secure prior approval before your arrival. The pet policy includes the following guidelines: - Which Rooms/Accommodation: Pets are generally welcome across the property's rustic, semi off-grid site (which features outdoor showers, composting toilets, and communal areas). However, exact room restrictions (such as glamping tents versus campsites) are determined by the property when you request approval. - Size Limits: There is no explicitly published weight or size limit, but because the propert
The Village Eco Stay is an adult-only, rustic eco-campground at 50 Skinners Shoot Road, just outside Byron Bay town centre. The defining booking detail for dog owners: pets are permitted with prior management approval, so you need to make contact and confirm before you lock in your dates.
The pet policy. Dogs are allowed but only with prior approval from management, and there are firm conditions. No unneutered males are accepted. An additional pet fee applies, payable on arrival. You must bring your own pet bedding, bowls, and treats - none are supplied on site. Dogs must be kept restrained at all times when outdoors, because the property borders native wildlife habitat and neighbouring farmland with ducks, birds, and farm animals.
The place. Accommodation is a mix of eco-bungalows and campsites with shared facilities - think composting toilets and outdoor showers rather than ensuite comfort. There is a large communal kitchen and shared lounge, plus a sauna and ice bath for guests. The setting is quiet and rural, with farm and wildlife sounds replacing traffic noise. It sits close to the Arts Factory precinct while keeping a country feel.
Getting there. The address is 50 Skinners Shoot Road, Skinners Shoot - a few minutes' drive from Byron Bay town centre. Free private onsite parking is available, so arriving by car is straightforward.
Nearby with the dogs. The Skinners Shoot area lends itself to quiet road walks, with farmland on the doorstep. For a beach outing, Belongil Beach South - Dog Exercise Area offers an off-leash zone, though seasonal and time-specific restrictions apply so check current council times before you go. For a bite in town, Byron Bay Canteen is a dog-friendly cafe option, and Light Years - Byron Bay is a restaurant worth looking into with your dog in tow.

When to go. This suits owners after a quiet, rustic, adult-only stay where slowing down is the whole point - shared facilities, off-grid character, and minimal fuss. It is not the right choice if your dog struggles around farm animals or wildlife, or if you are after resort-style space and luxury. Confirm pet approval before booking and bring everything your dog needs for the stay.
