What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Basq House brings a fresh sense of calm to the center of Byron Bay, just a short stroll from the main street.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hidden down Fletcher Lane, the property sits moments from Jonson Street boutiques, with Main Beach and coastal walking tracks just beyond.
The rooms
Light-filled rooms feature honey-timber joinery and terracotta accents, with balconies looking out over the central courtyard or town streets.
The courtyard pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Scalloped pink umbrellas and timber decking ring the central magnesium swimming pool, detailed with a mosaic floor emblem.
The bathhouse
Beneath the hotel, arched rooms hold traditional and infrared saunas alongside cold plunge tubs and concrete soaking baths.
Reception Bar
The curved travertine check-in desk doubles as an all-day cocktail bar beneath woven rattan pendant lights.
Taking its cues from a traditional Moroccan riad, Basq House entices you into spaces that ‘encourage both exploration and connection’...
At the table
Mornings begin with local pastries, fruit, and batch brew coffee served across the fireside lounge and library.
