About this property

#08 Sandcastle - Tallow Beach Houses

Located on the edge of Arakwal National Park between the ti tree lake and the ocean you will find our unique and charming low key retreat offering natural open spaces right on the beach. 60 metres walk from the gate and your feet are immersed in the white sands of Tallow Beach.

We offer a selection of 9 x beach houses on 30 acres of beachfront land where our guests can relax in the peaceful environment, walk the beaches, cycle the bike tracks, bird watch, surf world class waves, SUP or just simply relax on the generous verandahs that preside over bush or lake views. Just bush, beach and a cycle path for an easy ride to the centre of town or Suffolk Park shops.

** Sandcastle Beach House #8 **
Our deluxe 2 bedroom rustic vintage style beach house is fully self-contained and with recent renovation now offers 2 ensuite bathrooms featuring reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceilings fans, premium high speed wifi, TV/DVD and a large covered deck with BBQ surrounded by a serene coastal bushland. Accommodates 4 guests with your selection of King or Single beds.

We welcome you to share in this natural and unique destination.

SUFFOLK PARK
Nestled between Cosy Corner - just south of the world famous lighthouse at Cape Byron, and beautiful Broken Head lies Byron Bay’s Tallows Beach - a 6.5 km stretch of stunning surf beach. Tallows Beach is picture perfect, with endless white sand and blue waves for the adventurous surfers stretching 6.5km between the two headlands.

Suffolk Park sits adjacent to Tallow Beach, an easy 6km drive or cycle south from the heart of Byron Bay. It has a vibrant local community and great range of shops servicing the area including a bakery, range of eateries, pub, and small grocery store - fantastic to restock on holiday without venturing into busy town.

Behind the beach at the northern end you will also find 1km of small lakes and wetlands which forms Tallow Creek. To the south, visitors can walk towards Broken Head National Park.

Tallows sits within the eastern section of Arakwal National Park, a 183 hectare national park that is managed by both the local government body and the traditional custodians of the land, the local Arakwal people.

THINGS TO DO
Take a walk along the long stretch of stunning Tallow coastline. Suffolk Park is generally more quiet than town so at times, visitors may feel like they have the whole beach to themselves. The sunsets are spectacular over Cape Byron, a great way to start the day for those visitors who are early risers.

Tallows Beach is a popular exposed beach break offering consistently good swell and it is far less crowded than town with both left and right hand breaks. At the very northern end, Cosy Corner offers a break protected from northerlies making it a popular spot for surfers and also tourists looking to escape the wind. To the south, Broken Head has a fantastic right hand point break with banks from the point and through into the bay breaking with the right swells.

Swimming is popular along Tallow Beach year round and is also patrolled in the summer months and peak seasons making it safe for the family. Broken Head, a visually stunning and family friendly headland is only a few kilometres away and can be accessed by the adventurous walking south along the beach, or a few minutes by car. There are many picnic tables and great grassy areas for the kids to enjoy, or the adults enjoying a picnic. There is a short and beautiful walk around the headland to view the surf from above and also watch the humpback whale migration past Byron Bay through, and also access Kings beach to the south. This is referred to as a nudist beach so please be mindful.

Visit Tallow Beach in spring and winter and catch a glimpse of humpback whales on their annual migration between Antarctica and the Great Barrier Reef.

Please note:
Due to protected wildlife on our property, we are unable to accommodate domestic pets/animals.
We do not have adequate resources to ensure the wellbeing of Schoolies.

Away from busy hub
This house is tucked away among trees and the sound of the waves. It is a comfortable little house with basics such as toilet paper, towels, complimentary soaps,coffee,dishwashing liquid, sugar and tea. The decor in the house is beautiful at night with the dim lights. Unfortunately when we were there it was raining and it was nice to stay indoors and hear the sound of the rain on the roof. It was very relaxing. The shops are walking distance if food is needed. I liked the sustainability of the house.

Cute cabin in peaceful location
The cabin is well located only a short walk to the beach and backs onto bush land. The covered back deck meant there was lots of space for the family to spread out and the hammock was a huge hit! We appreciated the reverse cycle aircon for a bit of heating on the cooler winter evenings and mornings; the internet access was excellent and having a dishwasher was another little luxury. The cabin was immaculately clean and nicely presented when we arrived. Management were very helpful too. Overall it was very comfortable for a family of 4.

TUCKEROO BEACH HOUSE #9
Beds are comfortable and one bathroom has recently been renovated. There were a few things that need some TLC, but hosts were getting out of their way in making our stay comfortable. Great location, quiet, close by the beach, lovely bakery, well stocked SPAR, and on the bike path to Byron (we rented some locally on recommendation of Sarah). We'd stay here again.

We had such a great stay at the tallow beach houses.
Our house was a loverly beach house really neat with a big deck to relax on. A great backyard with a manicured garden and big grass area for games with my two daughters was where we spent a lot of time. Not to mention a minute walk from the beautiful tallow beach. Customer service was second to none. We will definitely be back!!
