Beautiful little sanctuary

We loved our stay here! Paula was an amazing host, with lots of local info and always answered messages quickly.The space was perfect, close to the busyness of Byron Bay, but far enough away to be a quiet little sanctuary. The bed was very comfortable, and you were able to darken the room for a sleep in. The space is styli and has everything you need. It might be a studio, but it is so roomy.A highlight for us was the beautiful bathroom and bath, just gorgeous.We also loved the bird sounds and to watch them outside the accomodation.We can't recommend this little spot, in Byron, enough!

Just what we needed

A much needed relaxing getaway from our busy professional daily lifestyles. An enormous recommendation for Genie House, was everything, plus more - spacious, well appointed with all amenities, cosy and warm with the wood fire, comfy sofas and beds, easy to use kitchen and laundry. Our third trip back to Byron and Genie House is the best, also perfect location. Wonderful hosts. Big thanks to owners Jeannie and Jim. Looking forward to our next escape away to Genie House.
