Nestled in Lennox Head village, on Bundjalung country. Dragon Tree House is a couple of blocks from the beach, is my little piece of paradise. DTH is close to everything (beaches, lake, walks, restaurants, cafes, bars, shops) you’ll want and more, and the perfect retreat to come home to.
The house is open plan, with a large inside living/ dining space that extends via glass sliding doors on to a huge covered deck surrounded by tropical gardens with a pool, doubling the living space.
Chill on the day beds, or in the cabana, while the kids are playing in the pool. Keep your eye out for the shy water dragons, they love a swim in the pool when no-one is watching.
The village has great food, restaurants, shopping and eating options with heaps of local produce available at stores and the local farmers markets.
The beaches are beautiful, with some of the best surfing on the coast. Say hi to the local Pelicans or the pair of Bramhiny Kites nesting in the norfolk pine at the entrance to Lake Ainsworth.
There are lots of walks north and south, 15 minutes south brings you to Pat Morton's lookout on Lennox headland where an amazing outlook across the ocean and village invites you to watch the the hang gliders or get into the action and do a jump yourself, so much fun! Its a great lookout for whales and the surf. If you continue walking over the headland you’ll end up at the beautiful Boulders Beach, its covered in volcanic rocks. You can continue to walk or pushbike along the coast walk tracks to Ballina.
A 10 minute walk to the north of DTH is tranquil Lake Ainsworth, the tea tree lake, great for swimming, SUPing. Hire a Kayak or wallow in the therapeutic Tea Tree waters around a lakeside picnic or the Surfclub Cafe. The walk to the end of Seven Mike Beach is beautiful and fun to pushbike on low tide. 15 minutes to the west are the famous Historic villages of Newrybar and Bangalow. Just 20 minutes north is Byron Bay if you need a hectic fix.

It is quite a special part of the world I’m so glad you enjoyed your time there.
Our stay at Dragon Tree House was Fabulous! From the initial booking and throughout our stay, Bronwyn was a wonderful host. The house was beautiful and clean and located perfectly so that everything we needed was in walking distance. The kids loved the pool and we loved the fantastic outdoor area. Will definitely be back!
Bronwyn was a fantastic host, promptly getting back to our queries, providing us with plenty of info on the area. The house was a serine tranqual place to relax for our family holiday, and was so well equipt with not only kitchen appliances and pantry staples, but also with pool toys and bikes which were a pleasant surprise.
Nothing this place was awesome and the condiments provided were great . Not cheap but actually worth the

Thanks for the review Jo, you said it was awesome but have only given me 6/10
How can I improve, what could I provide to get a 10/10 from you. I really appreciate feedback and where I need to improve thanks Bronwyn
We recently stayed at the Dragon Tree House in Lennox Head for 12 nights and absolutely loved the experience. The home has a beautiful Balinese-inspired feel, with stunning décor and landscaping that instantly makes you relax and unwind.The three large bathrooms were absolutely amazing and beautifully decorated — something you really have to see to believe. The heated pool was simply irresistible, especially after being smashed by the ocean just a 5-minute walk from the house.The location was incredibly peaceful and quiet, yet only a short stroll to both the beach and town centre. One of the highlights was the incredible walking track to the Lennox Head lookout — truly world class.We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a special stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. Your host Bronwyn is a treat to deal with and has the kitchen completely set up to bring the chef in all of us. We will be returning as we have had the best experience one could ask for. Thanks Bronwyn
Great location in a quite area, walking distance to all of Lennox's must-do spots. Well appointed house, the kitchen and cooking facilities are perfect. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor area and heated pool. Would stay again for sure.
A beautiful and thoughtfully curated home that feels extra extra special! We loved our stay at Dragon Tree House. The moment you enter the front door you can tell Bronwyn has put so much effort into making the home unique, welcoming and visually stunning. The bedrooms are all generously sized, the bathrooms are all gorgeous (especially the main bedroom with added outdoor bathroom) and the pool was icing on the cake. We didn’t feel the need to go anywhere as the house had everything we could wish for, from a top quality coffee machine to complimentary use of beach bikes! Check in was seamless and communication with Bronwyn was fast and easy. I highly recommend! Thank you for having us!

Thank you Rebecca for the lovely review. I am truly happy you felt the holiday vibe, and you love the space as much as I do. Come back again!! Cheers Bronwyn
Perfectly located property, just a short walk to the beach and the village. Our kids loved the heated pool which came in handy on a couple of the cooler, rainy days.
Beautiful house in Lenox Head, clean, very comfortable, close to the beach. We enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend this house for anyone visiting Lenox Head.
Such lovely accommodation, booked for a girls weekend away. Quiet location and walking distance to beach and restaurants. Very spacious accommodation, felt like home
Beautiful property, every amenity you could need, close to beach and shops! This was by far one of the most amazing properties I’ve stayed at!

About the host
Hosted by Bronwyn Brown
I lived in Lennox 30 years ago and fell in love with the chilled out surfer village. I left and traveled overseas for a few years. It's taken me 25 years to get back and build my little piece of paradise a couple of blocks back from the beach, and the village has retained the same chilled surfer village feel. I now live and work in Sydney, but need the north coast escape. I am happy to share my amazing Dragon Tree House with you and hope you love it as much as i do.
