Where to stay in Byron Bay
We’re more than three-quarters of the way through the year and, boy, does it feel like it. Second coffees are being made earlier and earlier in the day, morning gym sessions are being snoozed through and we’re struggling to remember what day month it is. Put simply: we need a break.
Luckily, Byron Bay – roughly an hour’s drive south of the Gold Coast – is the perfect place to find one. With Instagrammable hotels, boujee restaurants and countless day spas just a hot stone’s throw away, a trip to Byron Bay could be just what the doctor ordered to cure your burnout.
