Our favourite rooms
The best room depends on your preferred view – request pool and gardens or vistas up towards Cape Byron Lighthouse. The Executive Spa Rooms are the most spacious, with king-size beds. All bedrooms have a floaty, feminine feel, with fairy-tale four-posters, antique French-style dressing tables and chairs, chaise longues, muted cream curtains and white walls. Bathrooms are luxe marble with spa baths set between pillars, and pale coral stone floors.
Packing tips
Stylish swimming costume, sneakers for walking to Cape Byron lighthouse, your yoga mat – Byron Bay is a centre for alternative therapies and all things New Age.
Also
At Victoria’s you can play boules on the lawn or just wander the pretty tropical garden, which includes a water feature with rocks and lilypads – and a gentle, petite pet goanna.
