Dog friendly accommodation in Byron Bay
6 dog friendly places to stay, 5 let your dog stay inside
Here's the Byron Bay you plan around a dog: the town itself keeps dogs off Main Beach and out of a lot of the centre, so the move is to base yourself in Suffolk Park or Brunswick Heads, where the dog friendly stays sit next to the dog friendly beaches. Tallow Beach at Suffolk Park is the off leash one. Every stay below is checked against its own pet policy, so you know whether the dog sleeps in the room before you book.

Dog owner FAQs for places to stay in Byron Bay
Can I stay in Byron Bay with a dog?
Yes, though the dog friendly stays are mostly in Suffolk Park (Byron Bay Rainforest Resort, Tallow Beach Motel, Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay) and Brunswick Heads (The Chalet Motel, Reflections Ferry Reserve), with Beach Suites in Byron town itself. Your dog sleeps in the room or cottage at all except Ferry Reserve, which is camp sites.
Where is the dog friendly beach in Byron Bay?
Tallow Beach at Suffolk Park has an off leash stretch, which is why most of the dog friendly accommodation is based there rather than in the Byron town centre. Main Beach in town does not allow dogs.
