Barefoot at Broken Head Weddings

We booked 5 days at Barefoot for our intimate Broken Head wedding and it was everything we wished for and more!
Firstly, the house is absolutely STUNNING! The open, indoor/outdoor living is so relaxing and dreamy. We had 9 adults and 2 children in the house and never felt on top of each other. The space is so well designed that there is always space to get away and have some quiet, private time away from the other guests but also large communal areas to gather and socialise.

Secondly, the location! I think Broken Head speaks for itself with how beautiful the location is! A short walk down a private footpath from the house to a wide stretch beach that was so quiet that it felt like our own private beach! From the beach and from the road, you wouldn't even know the house was there. It is so private, yet so close to town if needed. The gardens of the house were just as beautiful, sitting on the back deck and the day bed of the honeymoon suite, listening to the waves of the ocean and the birds in the trees was just absolute bliss!

Lastly, Frances - the house manager. So friendly and helpful! Frances held my hand through-out the whole wedding planning period. Answering my silly questions and basically planned the whole run of the day for me! She understood our dreams of a minimalist, intimate wedding and made it work! She was there the day of the ceremony helping to set up and helping to organise the day - way more than she responsible for!
Thank you for your knowledge and help Fran, you are a credit to Barefoot!
I would definitely recommend Barefoot for a wedding destination or even just a get away with friends and/or family - we will definitely back!!

We had a beautiful three nights at Barefoot for our mid-week small wedding.The house feels luxurious and spacious, with the layout allowing everyone to have privacy yet there is plenty of space to come together as a group.
The grounds provided a stunning backdrop for our wedding ceremony and we enjoyed having our reception in the same location. The beach is just a short walk from the house and Byron Bay is a quick drive.
Tim and Frances are also a pleasure & easy to deal with, making the whole booking process stress free.
We hope to stay again in the future!

I have stayed in many airbnbs all over the world and Barefoot at Broken Heads tops them all. The home is very unique, Bali-style open plan living with gorgeous lush manicured gardens. Truly feels like paradise there with a private path to a secluded beach. Pictures do not do the place justice. Each bedroom its own structure giving us all separation with an open air living room in the middle. The home is luxurious, I appreciate the nice linens and a fully stocked kitchen which can be rare on airbnb - everything we needed as we do lots of cooking. The house is only a 3 minute drive from a little town with shops to get what we needed and less than 10 mins to Byron Bay! The service Tim provides is also exceptional. He accommodated us for an VERY early check in, was easy to communicate with and even organized change of bed linens as we had guests change over. He suggested activities, has bikes and boards at the house for use. Cannot recommend this enough and cant wait to rent again!

We had the most blissful week with family and friends. Barefoot truly allows you to unwind in the amazing premises and all a short stroll to Broken Head, which I will say is one of the most spectacular beaches around. Thanks to Tim and Frances who were so accomodating and wonderful to deal with . Plenty of room for a few families with space to connect and also disconnect...... if thats what you need. We hope to return and would definitely recommend it.

Tim and Frances are absolute GEMS, the booking process was smooth, the preparation for our stay was fantastic. The house itself has BLOWN us away.... the location is wonderful, the gardens a tranquil retreat, we loved that with all the pavilions we were able to escape the noise of the family when needed, but also able to gather comfortably in the large kitchen and lounge. We had 8 adults and 4 kids with every creature comfort we could need.

The best part of this amazing property is Frances, we held our wedding ceremony on the beach and our reception dinner on the back deck. Every step of the way Frances held my hand through the planning and went above and beyond to make our day smooth sailing. From arranging flowers on our arbour in the wind, to shedding a tear as we had our first dance in the garden, Frances was such a huge part of our day. We will never forget your amazing hospitality. We look forward to sharing this special place with family and friends in years to come.

Tim if you ever do decide to part ways with this gem, make sure the new owners continue to share it as you do, it is a delightful part of the world, it is so great you share this with everyone.

We had a fantastic week at Barefoot it is a very special place. The weather for four of the days was ideal and even though it rained a little on the Thursday it did provide a different but enjoyable experience. The facilities were top class and the lap pool and the reading pool provided hours of fun. The beach bikes and boards were well used.
Frances meet and greet was warm and friendly and set the mood for the week. Her set up of the sleeping arrangements was perfect and all family members had plenty of space.
Andres and Franco from A chefs pocket gave us a very enjoyable and delicious dinner.
The whole experience will give the family a lifetime memory.

We stayed and had our wedding at Barefoot at Broken Head. We would do it all again if we could! A beautiful property perfect for our style of wedding.
The house manager and wedding coordinator Frances, made our day perfect with her calm organised and friendly nature. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they had been to, being casual yet sophisticated and a stunning setting.
Thank you Frances and Tim for helping make our day so special!

If youre thinking of getting married at Barefoot, dont hesitate. We had an intimate wedding with 17 guests. Half of us stayed at Barefoot and the other half at a neighbouring property. We spent 4 days relaxing by the pool, going on beach walks, hikes and hopping into Byron. Our wedding was onsite at Barefoot half way through our stay. We had our ceremony in the garden, followed by the reception catered by their in-house chefs and bar staff. They setup a long table on the deck. The food was exceptional. Bar staff were friendly. Everything was easy and relaxing - which is exactly what we wanted. The wedding coordinator - Frances - is lovely. I couldnt recommend this place any higher.

Barefoot is just such an amazing place and Frances is an amazing host. We had our wedding here and we had the most special day ever and then continued to stay on for 5 nights with friends and family! It was such a memorable stay - we will definately be back soon!

We couldn't recommend it more for a stay or to get married! Our time at Barefoot at Broken Head was simply perfect. Frances and the management team were instrumental in making our small elopement a seamless and beautiful experience. The day itself was executed flawlessly, from the stunning ceremony to the incredibly enjoyable atmosphere throughout.

The food was fantastic, and the overall vibe was just perfect. Additionally, staying at the house for a few days around the wedding was an absolute pleasure. The space and location surpassed our expectations, making it an ideal spot for both a relaxing stay and a dreamy wedding venue.

Our 2nd time at Barefoot, this time for our daughters wedding in the garden with second set of photos on the short stroll (1 min) to the beautiful 10 K Tallows beach!
It didnt disappoint!
Frances made everything so easy to plan as I FaceTimed from Canada! Food and service were fabulous! As were all the recommended vendors. They really made it special and I would recommend the venue for any celebration or for a big family getaway!

This was a 5-star experience in every way. The property was perfect for our family of adult children and grandchildren. It provided space and privacy in the most gorgeous exotic setting. We loved hanging at the pool - the reading pool was fabulous - as well as in the open living room. We enjoyed yoga on the deck, and took advantage of the one-minute walk to the beach with many sunrise and sunset swims. Frances provided excellent tips and guidance and was always available and responsive.

The proximity to Byron Bay is great when we could drag ourselves away from the pool, as well as Suffolk Park and Brunswick Heads.

We loved everything about Broken Head!

The most picturesque, lux and lush place we could have chosen as our wedding venue and accomodation for a week! Frances and her team were superstars - available and on hand to ensure our wedding day was simply perfect! From the staging, bar and marquee set up, to the catering, gorgeous space and of course the dance floor, it came together better than we could have imagined.
An absolute must for couples looking to have an intimate ceremony with space to celebrate. Our cocktail style reception, with Irish band was perfect for our group of about 65. Thank you Tim & Frances for providing us with a space to create the best memories!

A great venue for a dream wedding. Thanks Tim & Frances for facilitating the first chapter of a wonderful marriage with a beautiful experience for family & friends.

We just had a wonderful week at Barefoot- beyond our expectations! The property is elegant yet relaxed - the perfect combination in a very natural rainforest setting. Leading up to and during our stay Francis was extremely helpful and a delight to deal with.
We ate at superb restaurants (recommended by Francis), walked and swam at the pristine beach and saw so many whales on their migration north. We cannot wait to return!

We spent a week at this beautiful property, celebrating 2 milestone family birthdays . Our group of 13 included 8 adults, 4 kids under 5 and a 4 week old baby. The house was perfect in every way. Everyone had some space to themselves and the shared living areas were perfect for games and fun. The kids loved the garden and the short stroll to the beach was fantastic. The pool provided hours of fun, despite some very bad weather.
Frances and her team provided additional bedding for the children; and special thanks to Pixie for her amazing help during the storm.
Cannot recommend this property highly enough and cant wait to return.
