Amazing location - great house for a family with kids
We really enjoyed our stay at Above the Pass. What a location. Less than 3 minutes walk down to the beach where our children swam everyday in the waves - aged 6 and 11. Easy walk up to Wategos for more swimming and drinks at Raes. The house has great views, plenty of places for a sunset drink and lots of space for everyone to enjoy quiet time and family dinners. The bathrooms could do with an update / quite old and a bit tired, but the rest of the house was fabulous. The house didn’t come with beach towels, but I emailed the rental manager who arranged for the linen company to drop some off, which was very good service. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it to families.

gorgeous home
we loved our time at the house, easy walk to the beach and the pass cafe. No beach towels was a problem. and failure to respond to texts asking where they were. pantry and kitchen well stocked but no coffee pods and yet sugar tea etc was annoying. loved the home overall you;d definitely stay again

Stunning house in great location
We truly enjoyed both the house and the location. The house is stunning, architecturally designed and nicely furnished. We liked being a bit outside the centre but still walking distance... and so close to The Pass, which is the best - particularly for children at low tide. I hope we can go back soon :)

Loved Above The Pass
We loved staying at Above The Pass. It was in the perfect location for our family, a short walk to the best surfing break at The Pass through the National Park via The Pass Cafe. Approximately a 20 minute walk into town and 1hour round trip walk to the lighthouse via Watagoes. The house had everything that we needed and more; was clean with laundered bed linen; included basic supplies such as soap, shampoo, olive oil, tea, coffee etc. The house has a lovely aspect and has a very spacious, open and airy layout which was perfect for our family of 5 (with teenagers)

Beautiful property within walking distance of Clarkes Beach
My partner and I loved our stay at this property. Well-appointed and spacious, it offered everything we needed for a romantic beach escape. We had a minor issue retrieving the key on check-in, but the property owner who lives next door was very helpful in allowing us to gain access. We intend to stay here again in future.

Perfect chill out space (just out of town)
We had a wonderful time at this place. Everything we needed. Very chilled. Easy. Close to the beach but far enough from town. Recommended

Thanks Sally for providing your feedback. We have added queen mattress toppers to each queen bed for guests needing a softer bed. These can also be removed for guests that prefer a firmer bed. We look forward to welcoming you back to Byron xx

In der Hochsaison mit 900€ je Nacht
Wird es nicht ganz unseren Anspruch gerecht. Nicht 100 Prozent sauber, Küchenausstattung mangelhaft und eine Mängel… Liegt an einer stark befahrenen Straße, dafür nur 5 Minuten Fußweh bis zum traumhaften Strand.
