We loved staying at the Longhouse. We were a group of 8 friends. The house is unique and offers lots of interesting spaces. Was it an old chapel that has been converted? Lots of space for everyone to relax and the beds were all comfortable. Clean and tidy. Lovely renovated bathroom with a big bath. Plus two other bathrooms. Kitchen had the right amount of equipment and utensils. There are 2 lounge areas too. The walls of the house are quite thin so noise does travel but our neighbours were all very quiet and I hope they thought we were too! The location of the house is great. 3 minutes walk to the beach (not the main beach, but the dog beach) and about an easy 10-15 minute walk along the beach to town. There are no beach towels at the house but we were informed of this before hand and took our own. We also took our own surfing gear as there wasn't any at the house. The TV room has a heap of great books to read too if you find yourself stuck without anything to do. The booking process was easy through the letting agency. Very clear instructions. Simple key process. We had no troubles over the weekend so didn't need to contact anyone but there were numbers available to call should we have needed it. There was also a strict noise policy where anyone can call a security firm to come and tell noisy people to be quiet! Whilst we didn't need this, its a good service to provide both locals and visitors. A few doors up is the popular Treetop bar. This a very cool venue - bookings recommended. Food is mainly pizza and they do great cocktails. They play live music in the evenings but this didn't really go on too late. Surcharges are charged on Sundays. We liked being a little bit out of Byron town and having the option to walk in was great as parking and traffic in Byron was sometimes slow. The locals were mostly really friendly but a few made it clear they didn't like tourists. Byron itself was cool. Lots of shops and cafes to visit. Outstanding place we visited for us was the Farm. If you get the opportunity, you must go. We had a fantastic dinner there and then a breakfast too. The food was exceptional and it is clear everyone that works there is passionate about what they are doing. We also walked from the house to the lighthouse - which we think was about a 10km round trip. Really great walk to get the blood pumping. Views from the lighthouse are stunning. I would stay at Longhouse again, as would all of the people in our group. Whether you are a group of friends or a couple of families, this house is a great spot to consider. The kids will like the bunk beds. Very good value for money as were travelled at non-peak...
