Tallow Beach Houses Byron Bay

Tallow Beach Houses at 2 Alcorn Street, Suffolk Park is a small group of contemporary self-contained beach houses sitting directly on Tallow Beach between the Byron Bay lighthouse and Broken Head, in a secluded spot backing onto Arakwal National Park. It is a genuine beachfront stay: the sand is steps from the decks, and the famous off-leash stretch of Tallow Beach runs close by.

The place

Each house is self-contained with an open-plan living space and extensive covered decks, and the draw is the setting rather than resort facilities: quiet, ocean-facing and surrounded by nature reserve, with the Broken Head shops and the Suffolk Park village a short drive or walk away. Check-in runs from 2pm, with morning checkout, free parking and Wi-Fi across the houses.

Worth knowing for dog owners

Be clear before you book: the property's own terms and conditions state that pets are strictly not permitted at Tallow Beach Houses, given its position within a wildlife nature reserve. Some booking listings and similarly named properties nearby advertise pet-friendly houses, which causes ongoing confusion, but this specific group does not take dogs. If travelling with your dog, the pet-friendly cabins and sites at Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay on Broken Head Road are the practical alternative in the same suburb.

Getting there

The houses sit on Alcorn Street off Broken Head Road in Suffolk Park, about ten minutes' drive south of the Byron Bay town centre, with free on-site parking. From the doorstep you can walk south towards Broken Head or north along the sand.

While you're out there

The Tallow Beach dog exercise area runs along this stretch of coast, and Jimmy's Coffee in the Suffolk Park shops covers the morning espresso.
