Walter’s is one of the original beach shacks of the area and offers delightful, authentic charm. For the namesake Walter himself, think old fashioned snorkel gear, terry towel hats, fishing off the rocks, and a seadog’s tall tales told over an ice cold beer and fresh prawns wrapped in newspaper. Walter’s home has been thoughtfully restored and styled to merge the laidback charm of this beachside area, but is also teamed with Byron Bay ‘cool’ – think MCM House furniture, as well as a new modern kitchen, with herringbone tiles. The upper level has a large balcony, open plan living and two good sized bedrooms, which both offer ocean views from Queen beds. Sea views are present throughout the upper level – even, ahem, from the toilet. The lower level has two bedrooms (one with two singles and the other a double), and a lounge nook, ideal for curling up in with a good book. There is also a double carport. A few minutes stroll along a footpath leads you to the lifeguard-patrolled Shelly Beach, with fantastic surf breaks, rock pools where children frolic and the Shelly Beach cafe. In fact, there are three cafes within a brief stroll of the house, as well as the chic Italian restaurant, Capiche, which overlooks Lighthouse Beach. The scenic coastal walk and cycle path runs from North Wall to Sharpes Beach and all the way to Lennox Head. Other local activities also abound. Walter’s is conveniently located just 10 minutes drive from Ballina/Byron airport. The location is a fantastic launchpad to the attractions of the northern rivers, including Lennox Head (10 mins), Byron Bay (30 mins), and the expansive hinterland. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Things to do - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Sun deck](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/12000000/11940000/11934400/11934308/78971814.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elements of Byron Byron Bay - Pool - Hot tub - Spa - Parking included 9.6 Exceptional 212 reviews £255 includes taxes & fees 29 Mar - 30 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-29&endDate=2026-03-30&selected=11934308&PinnedHotelID=11934308&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Aerial view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8010000/8001500/8001420/a998e1f8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Oasis Apartments and Treetop Houses Byron Bay - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.2 Wonderful 234 reviews £274 includes taxes & fees 16 Mar - 17 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-16&endDate=2026-03-17&selected=8001420&PinnedHotelID=8001420&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30090000/30087600/30087566/w1098h1362x0y0-5bad7a17.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SUPER - SUPER EASTER.

A lovely house, terrific view, and very comfortable beds. Well located with access to cafes, restaurants and just a quick drive to supermarkets in town. The property is gated so good for our dog to have access to green space outside. Well-equipped kitchen. A really lovely place. Would stay again. ##### Jack T.

We watched humpbacks heading north from the dining table and deck. The house was as advertised, kitchen was good, location was great for walks and our two dogs were safe and happy with the well fenced yard. The only negative comment is we would have liked some more comfortable chairs to lounge in at night. Thanks for providing such an easy holiday for us. ##### Deborah H.
