Barefoot at Broken Head - Byron Bay Luxury Holiday House - Broken Head, New South Wales

We booked Barefoot for our wedding venue and had a beautiful, laid-back but elegant small wedding! The garden was the perfect space to have our ceremony and reception. At sunset, we snuck to the beach with our photographer and it was the perfect, easy-access spot to take our couple's photos. The food was delicious and plentiful (we had all vegetarian/vegan food catered by the Chef's Pocket). Francis did a great job with organising things for the day to take the stress away for us. We used some of the vendors recommended by Barefoot (incl. the French Petal, Shane Shepherd photography and Little Wild Things babysitters) and together with the Barefoot team they made our day run so smoothly so that we could enjoy ourselves. I want to give a special mention to the wonderful bar staff who always made sure the bride and groom were fed and had a drink in our hand! They also cleaned the place so well after the reception that the next day you wouldn't even know there was a party!

The house itself was fantastic also. We stayed with our family at the house for 6 nights and all the rooms were comfortable and luxurious. The honeymoon room in particular has a beautiful outdoor bath, which made a great area for the bridal party to get ready. The kitchen is so well-equipped, they had everything you could think of...even muffin tins to bake if you wanted to! Tea, coffee and basic ingredients like olive oil were provided.
It worked out so well that all the rooms are separated, so those who wanted to get up early or stay up late could do so without bothering anyone else.

We're very glad we booked Barefoot for our wedding, it was perfect in every way! Thanks Tim and Francis!

We spent a week at this beautiful property, celebrating 2 milestone family birthdays . Our group of 13 included 8 adults, 4 kids under 5 and a 4 week old baby. The house was perfect in every way. Everyone had some space to themselves and the shared living areas were perfect for games and fun. The kids loved the garden and the short stroll to the beach was fantastic. The pool provided hours of fun, despite some very bad weather.
Frances and her team provided additional bedding for the children; and special thanks to Pixie for her amazing help during the storm.
Cannot recommend this property highly enough and can’t wait to return.

We just had a wonderful week at Barefoot- beyond our expectations! The property is elegant yet relaxed - the perfect combination in a very natural rainforest setting. Leading up to and during our stay Francis was extremely helpful and a delight to deal with.
We ate at superb restaurants (recommended by Francis), walked and swam at the pristine beach and saw so many whales on their migration north. We cannot wait to return!

This was a 5-star experience in every way. The property was perfect for our family of adult children and grandchildren. It provided space and privacy in the most gorgeous exotic setting. We loved hanging at the pool - the reading pool was fabulous - as well as in the open living room. We enjoyed yoga on the deck, and took advantage of the one-minute walk to the beach with many sunrise and sunset swims. Frances provided excellent tips and guidance and was always available and responsive.

The proximity to Byron Bay is great when we could drag ourselves away from the pool, as well as Suffolk Park and Brunswick Heads.

We loved everything about Broken Head!

The most picturesque, lux and lush place we could have chosen as our wedding venue and accomodation for a week! Frances and her team were superstars - available and on hand to ensure our wedding day was simply perfect! From the staging, bar and marquee set up, to the catering, gorgeous space and of course the dance floor, it came together better than we could have imagined.
An absolute must for couples looking to have an intimate ceremony with space to celebrate. Our cocktail style reception, with Irish band was perfect for our group of about 65. Thank you Tim & Frances for providing us with a space to create the best memories!

We had a beautiful three nights at Barefoot for our mid-week small wedding.The house feels luxurious and spacious, with the layout allowing everyone to have privacy yet there is plenty of space to come together as a group.
The grounds provided a stunning backdrop for our wedding ceremony and we enjoyed having our reception in the same location. The beach is just a short walk from the house and Byron Bay is a quick drive.
Tim and Frances are also a pleasure & easy to deal with, making the whole booking process stress free.
We hope to stay again in the future!

We couldn't recommend it more for a stay or to get married! Our time at Barefoot at Broken Head was simply perfect. Frances and the management team were instrumental in making our small elopement a seamless and beautiful experience. The day itself was executed flawlessly, from the stunning ceremony to the incredibly enjoyable atmosphere throughout.

The food was fantastic, and the overall vibe was just perfect. Additionally, staying at the house for a few days around the wedding was an absolute pleasure. The space and location surpassed our expectations, making it an ideal spot for both a relaxing stay and a dreamy wedding venue.

If you’re thinking of getting married at Barefoot, don’t hesitate. We had an intimate wedding with 17 guests. Half of us stayed at Barefoot and the other half at a neighbouring property. We spent 4 days relaxing by the pool, going on beach walks, hikes and hopping into Byron. Our wedding was onsite at Barefoot half way through our stay. We had our ceremony in the garden, followed by the reception catered by their in-house chefs and bar staff. They setup a long table on the deck. The food was exceptional. Bar staff were friendly. Everything was easy and relaxing - which is exactly what we wanted. The wedding coordinator - Frances - is lovely. I couldn’t recommend this place any higher.
