Hotels in Northern Rivers, Australia

Nestled in the lush subtropical corner of New South Wales, Australia, Northern Rivers is famous for its empty surf breaks and ancient rainforest waterfalls. With warm summers around 86°F (30°C) perfect for beach days and mild winters hovering at 68°F (20°C) ideal for hiking in Nightcap National Park, you can surf at Byron Bay's main break all year or spot humpback whales from June to November. The region splits into Byron Bay's buzzing backpacker beach town and the quiet hinterland villages like Nimbin, where you can explore hippie markets and lush farmland.
