Pet-Friendly Accommodation in Byron Bay

Byron Bay is first and foremost a beach town, with more than a dozen amazing beaches with great surf breaks and hidden coves. Beaches where you can let your dog off the leash and throw a ball around include New Brighton Beach, South Golden Beach, Bangalow Beach, and Tallow Beach. There's also a section of Main Beach where dogs can roam free, and the same is true of the beautiful beaches and coastal areas of Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby, and Suffolk Park.

Byron Bay is a foodie paradise for humans. So why shouldn't the same be true for canine companions? There are plenty of dog-friendly cafes around the beach, but for a really special outing head to The Italian Diner, an elegant Italian eatery that has a special menu just for dogs! Beef spare rib, a lamb shank bone, or kangaroo tail are on offer? Or perhaps a pig's snout to nibble as an appetiser?

Located in Ewingsdale, Byron Bay's The Farm is the place to meet all kinds of domestic animals. Great for families with kids, the farm is also dog-friendly, so you can take your leashed dog along while visiting the cows, goats, and pigs. Purchase some local produce such as cheese, bread, and jam. For a perfect finish to your visit, stop off at Three Blue Ducks, the farm's dog-friendly restaurant.

Byron Bay is a hippie hangout that is absolutely packed with yoga studios and classes that ensure alternative millennials can enjoy their morning meditation. One of these studios, however, caters to a very particular clientele: dogs! Visit the Downward Doggies Class at DOGA Studios, if you fancy a puppy yoga class where your dog can learn yoga poses and learn to accompany you in your daily yoga routines.

Byron Bay is one of the country's most beloved surf spots, so it's only fair that pets should be allowed to hit the surf, too. This is not a euphemism. You can literally strap a life jacket on your dog and join the dog surf class offered by Black Dog Surfing. Set up by Dean Johnston in 1992, Black Dog Surfing promises beginners will be standing up on their first lesson, whether on two legs or four.
