It’s a space where mornings are unhurried, days unfold naturally, and evenings invite reflection and connection. A place where families gather, couples reconnect, and friends slow down together. Inspired by the meaning of Gwandalan — rest, peace, a resting place. It’s a lived-in country home, full of warmth, character, and the gentle quirks that come with being close to nature. It’s not a hotel, and it’s not perfect — and that’s part of its beauty. Here, rest might look like birdsong in the morning, children playing freely on the land, long meals on the balcony, or soaking in the outdoor bath beneath a sky full of stars. Perfectly positioned in the Byron Bay hinterland, Gwandalan offers the best of both worlds. You’re 22 minutes from Byron Bay, 10 minutes to Bangalow, and 8 minutes to the iconic Eltham Hotel. If you’re seeking warmth, space, and a slower rhythm, Gwandalan welcomes you. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking available ### Food and drink - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 4 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 1 accessible parking space - 1 step to reach entrance - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Single level property - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Contactless check-in available ### Check-out Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions The front desk hours vary at this property Guests must contact the property for check-in information To make arrangements for check-in please contact the property ahead of time using the information on the booking confirmation You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Check-out time is flexible; to make arrangements, please contact the property ahead of time using the information on the booking confirmation Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Check-out instructions The host requires you complete the following before checking out: Load the dishwasher Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash Lock the doors and return the keys Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 4 total pets ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed: family gatherings and birthday parties ### Smoking Smoking allowed: in designated areas ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Parties and events (including family gatherings and birthday parties) are allowed on site; maximum attendees: 20 Long-term renters welcome Host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property This property has outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, terraces which may not be suitable for children; if you have concerns, we recommend contacting the property prior to your arrival to confirm they can accommodate you in a suitable room This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.
