The Lily Pad is a secluded garden paradise with nature right on the doorstep, yet a short car trip away from the heart of Byron Bay. Run by a beautiful generous couple, it’s a must stay

Angela Australia

Beautiful property, great location close to the main town

Kellie Australia

The location setting , outdoor area and facilities were of high standard and thoroughly enjoyed it . The hosts and especially Julie were helpful and friendly , privacy was not an issue and the whole stay we felt right at home . I highly recommend Lily Pad and will stay again if I'm in Byron bay .

Uwe Australia

Located within close proximity to town but felt like we were staying in the middle of a beautiful tropical rainforest. It was lovely to sit on the deck and have a cup of tea while hearing the birds sing.

Andrew Australia

The property was beautiful and the grounds exceptional. Julie, the host, went out of her way to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. We arrived late in the evening and she supplied us with a lovely basket of produce, including fresh laid egges, bread, a few veggies, and lovely bottle of wine and some pasta and pasta sauce; to get us through till the morning when we could go and purchase some supplies.

Lonnielynne Australia

Absolutely fabulous, the property has everything you could wish for and some. The gardens are stunning and there’s nothing we would change!

Karen Australia

We booked it for our honeymoon and the place was a perfect retreat for us. The place was very private which we loved and it felt tropical. The whole place was beautiful with gardens and outdoor patio. Also the outdoor shower was amazing! Would stay here again when we visit Byron the next time.

Sergio Brazil

The fact that you are only a few minutes drive to the centre of town, you wouldn't know it. This place is so comfortable and relaxed. You can wander around the grounds, look at the bountiful fruit trees and listen to the sounds of nature.

Jeffrey Australia

The place is so gorgeous, the inside is so nice and clean and has been decorated like a garden sanctuary. The outside landscape has had so much care it looks amazing and is so nice to chill at with the BBQ and a few drinks! Julie the host that we met was incredibly nice and helpful with anything we needed she went above and beyond for us.

Riley Australia

Lily Pad was absolutely beautiful, what you see on their website is what you get and so much more. The location was excellent, you are only a 5 minute drive to the main street of Byron Bay. It is so quiet and beautiful, we will definitely be back.

  • Is this a private villa or so you share living room space or anything else with other guests? Thankyou Mike Harris
    Hi Mike, Thanks for your interest in The Lily Pad. It is a private villa and once you make a booking, the property is yours exclusively. There will be no other guests staying. The property comprises 2 free standing pavilions, linked by stepping stone pathways and tropical gardens. The Studio pavilion accommodates one couple, while the Retreat provides extra sleeping and living space for 2 extra guests if you are holidaying as a family. Whether you book one or both pavilions, The Lily Pad is exclusively yours.

Julie & Paul
The Lily Pad is located in Byron Bay on Skinners Shoot Road, just over 2 km from the town and beaches. You could quite happily stay at The Lily Pad for your entire visit to Byron, relaxing on the deck and soaking in the views to the trees, but if you’re looking for ideas to extend your stay, there are endless possibilities in Byron Bay!
Paul and I love to travel and have made lifelong friends on our adventures around the world. One of our favourite travel experiences has been staying with friends overseas and living like a local in a foreign country, even if for just a few days at a time. We share a love of good food and wine, and especially enjoy growing our own food and cooking up a storm with the products from the garden.
The Skinners Shoot Rd area is a small scenic pocket just moments to Byron Bay's main town and beach. At the end of the road, you'll find the Byron Bay Brewery restaurant and bar, Pighouse Flicks arthouse cinema and Buddha Garden day spa. It's also very close to Byron's famous Farmer's Market held every Thursday morning. Byron Bay is home to Australia’s most easterly point, known as Cape Byron. Get up early and walk along the beach and head towards the sun… the rising sun. You’ll be first in Australia to see the sun rise if you make on time. The walk is spectacular, and there are many beautiful photo opportunities along the way, so bring good walking shoes, a hat, water and your camera.
