The Location
TallowSands is located in the relaxed beachside suburb of Suffolk Park, perfectly positioned to explore the best of the Byron Bay region. Just a 5-minute drive away, you’ll find local essentials including a grocery store, pub, bakery, bottle shop, post office, and several great cafes and restaurants. With direct access to Tallow Beach and surrounded by the protected landscape of Arakwal National Park, guests can step straight into nature for sunrise swims, coastal walks, or moments of quiet by the ocean.
​
Byron Bay’s vibrant town centre is just 10 minutes up the road, while the charming hinterland villages of Bangalow and Newrybar — known for their boutique stores, markets, and acclaimed eateries like Harvest — are just a short drive away. Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Broken Head Nature Reserve, the tea-tree-stained waters of Lake Ainsworth in Lennox Head, or a laid-back day exploring Brunswick Heads, where riverside picnics and paddle adventures await. TallowSands is ideal for couples, families, or small groups seeking a peaceful getaway that feels a world away, yet remains close to the region’s best surf, food, and culture.
