The cottage is cosy and arty.. filled with my paintings. The cottage consists of a bed/sitting room, a kitchen/dining room and a bathroom. All 3 rooms open onto the patio and garden. Please note that the bathroom is not ensuite. There is a washing machine and BBQ . The kitchen has all the basics. There is a queen bed and a comfortable sofa that folds out to a double bed.
You will have your own access path from the road, and use of the back garden under the poinsettia tree. You can also use the house clothes- line. NO extra guests, visitors or parties. This is my private home and I value my privacy. The private garden is a sanctuary for birds.

My mum & I loved our week in Jan's beautiful artist cottage. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Enjoyed the leafy backyard, outdoor dining, close proximity to the beach & the quiet street. I'd definitely recommend it!

Garden cottage by the beach

We truly enjoyed our five-night stay at the Artist Studio Cottage in the northern part of Byron Bay. It was the perfect retreat for a relaxing holiday. The cottage is beautifully maintained and in excellent condition, offering a cozy yet spacious atmosphere. It features a combined bedroom and living area, a well-equipped kitchen at the entrance, and a separate bathroom.Outside, the charming terrace and lush garden create a peaceful oasis to unwind. The cottage provides everything you could possibly need, and the host is both friendly and respectful of privacy, as the accommodation is tucked away in the back section of the property.The location is fantastic — the beach is just a three-minute walk away, and Byron Bay is about a 25-minute stroll along the shoreline. The setting is incredibly peaceful, and at night, you can fall asleep to the soothing sound of ocean waves.A dream getaway — we would absolutely love to return soon!Michael & Andreas

Relax to birdsong and crashing waves

Jan’s cottage is a delight. It has everything you need for a quiet, relaxing time away from any hustle and bustle. There’s no huge smart TV or other mod cons, but what you get is honest, simple, and non-digital, which gives you a break from that space anyway. The location is fabulous, but if you want to walk along the beach to town you need to allow a bit of time.

A beautiful place to stay in every way

The cottage was exactly as we had expected and Jan made us very welcome. The location is perfect - in a very peaceful location just a short walk to the beautiful Belongil beach and about 2km into the centre of Byron Bay (either walking along the beach or road ... or a few minutes in the car). The cottage is very private and overlooks the garden. It is well equipped and comfortable, and even on one chilly night while we were there we were very cosy with the heater on. Would also highly recommend the Treehouse just along the road for dinner.

Artists Cottage

Great private getaway close to Byron Bay. The garden is a private oasis and we loved watching the bird life. Close to the beach where you can walk for miles in either direction. Jen is a great host and we would definitely want to stay here if we were back in Byron Bay.

Great location within walking distance down the beach to Byron but not in the busy part of town. Great couple of bars/ restaurants a few hundred metres away & the ocean nearly on your doorstep. A tranquil garden setting. Lovely!

Such a lovely place and perfect location

Absolutely loved our stay. Such a gorgeous little place and beautiful private garden. The location is simply PERFECT as well, just a minute walk to the beach. Only improvement for me would be to have a fan, even though it has a good working airco.
