The Surf House

The Verdict

The Surf House is Byron Bay’s brand new boutique hostel, complete with the town’s first and only open air rooftop bar. No lie. 

Located just two streets back from Main Beach in the heritage-listed Byron Council Chambers building, The Surf House effortlessly combines the building’s original architecture with modern design to bring guests a one-of-a-kind accommodation experience and we’re digging it. 

Setting out to combine the quality service and facilities of a hotel, alongside the laid-back vibe and social aspects of a hostel, you’ll find a range of room options available, including private queen rooms with balcony, ensuite and even ocean views (!) and shared rooms that can accommodate anywhere from four to eight sleeping heads.
