Overview
28 Degrees is one of Byron Bay's true luxury accommodations that balances an ultra-convenient location in the heart of town centre with the sanctuary-like feeling and privacy of a true retreat.
Some of the major selling points of this beautiful guesthouse include the fact the property is an adults-only stay for guests 21 years and above, eco-conscious elements in the lighting and water operations, the absence of television screens throughout ensuring that you can quite literally switch off from distractions, and all the thoughtful details — from the organic bed linen to Hunter Lab skincare products and provided beach towels, umbrellas and bikes to get you from one side of Byron to the next.
The devil in the details are courtesy of 28 Degrees owner Deb Garske, an interior designer whose professional experience comes through in the level of curation you'll encounter during a stay here. No two rooms are quite the same but all have the same level of care and consideration including a complimentary minibar stocked with local produce.
There are four different types of room: the Classic Rooms which include access to common areas like the lap pool and a reading room. The Luxury Master Room includes views of the Cape Byron Lighthouse and a large private balcony. The Lighthouse Room which does not offer pool access but includes lighthouse views and and a claw-foot bath for post beach soaks. And finally there's the Plunge Pool Rooms which include a private plunge pool, outdoor shower and private deck.
And in the not-too-distant future, 28 Degrees will get the addition of a new wing, which will include the 'Luxury Villa Residence' — a two-story villa boasting a designer kitchen, private entrance, large private plunge pool and walk-in wardrobe. Serious honeymoon material.
The Marvell Street location puts you just minutes away from the best of Byron, from Main Beach to the town's ever impressive lineup of great food and drink options (the excellent natural wine bar Bar Heather is a leisurely 10 minute stroll). But the best thing about 28 Degrees is the absolute privacy and ability to properly switch off in a genuinely lovely environment.
