Is This One Of The Best Hotels In Byron Bay

If you’ve read this month’s edition of 4 Magazine (grab your free copy here), then you’ll already be familiar with Australian hotel, The Bower, one of the best hotels in Byron Bay. Today I wanted to share even more inspiration from this idyllic hotel, located in the heart of the beach town.

Byron Bay, for those that are unfamiliar, is the epitome of laidback. Gorgeous beaches, vintage shops and a slow pace of life are all characteristics of this Australian hotspot. Which is evident in the design of The Bower Hotel.

The Bower was created by Taliah and Sein Lowry, founders of Byron Beach Abodes – a small family run business specialising in boutique Byron Bay accommodation. Comprising suites, a barn, a cottage and a house sleeping up to 8 guests, the design can only be described as effortless luxury.

Rattan and woven textures are an ideal way to bring the outside in, and oversize pendant shades such as these create a focal point in the dining space, without overshadowing the light and airy feel to the room.

A calm palette of white, greys and taupes, meanwhile, runs throughout The Bower, sitting perfectly against linen and locally sourced decorative details. By drafting in local tradesmen, landscapers and stylists, Taliah and Sein were able to maintain a truly authentic design, synonymous with Byron Bay.

Traveling to Byron Bay to visit The Bower is now firmly on my travel bucket list. Travel has actually become a huge part of my 2018. From traveling to San Fransico for a solo adventure in March to experiencing Turkey for the first time this month to the possibility of working in New York for a month later this year, I’ve surprisingly embraced visiting new places. I say surprisingly because up until now, I’ve been reluctant to do just that through nerves.

As a full-time blogger, I’m always open to new ideas and I love the idea of being a digital nomad, picking up my laptop and being able to work anywhere in the world. I recently discovered travel concept, Explorer Travel, which is a travel agent franchise where you run your own business anywhere from the world. The idea behind it is, every holiday you sell through your Explorer Travel website, you earn a commission. You’re provided with everything from IT support to marketing literature so you can run your business perfectly wherever you have internet access. This business model massively appeals to me and it might you too if you’re interested in running your own travel company. Click on the link above to discover more.

Getting back to the beauty that is The Bower, I’ve pulled together some key pieces that I think really emulate this look. Have a scroll through and see if anything catches your eye. What do you think of this hotel? Is this one of the best hotels in Byron Bay or not really your style? (Photographer Credit: Jessie Prince / Post in partnership with Explorer Travel)
