About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Above The Pass - perfectly perched above The Pass

Above the Pass is a modern beach house with a gorgeous timber, coastal feel throughout. The house is perfectly perched just above the world famous Pass surf break and surrounded by pleasant tropical gardens. One of the homes best features is the floor to ceiling glass doors and windows that just flood the living room with natural sunlight and the polished timber floors compliment the stylish modern furnishings throughout.

The home offers an interesting yet functional layout - perfect for holidays - whether you are a family or a small group of friends sharing the home. The central well-equipped kitchen serves the lovely lounge room, the decks and or the private patio area. There is a range of areas to entertain and eat in or relax at any time of the day.

The lounge and living areas enjoy a beautiful north aspect with ocean views that extend across the Bay and to the hinterland ranges beyond. The sunsets are quite spectacular as well.

A short stroll downhill and you are at The Pass and Clarkes Beach. If you are feeling energetic, the Cape Byron Walking Track up to the Lighthouse Reserve is just across the street. The Pass Cafe is just 2 minute walkaway and perfect for morning coffee or lunch after a swim. The boardwalk will also take you all the way into town.

Guests have loved the true modern beach home appeal of Above the Pass together with its relaxed furnishings and wonderful outlook. A very popular spot to stay.

Please note there is a separate 2 bedroom house at the back of the property that uses the double garage.

Perfect for longer stays, a home office away from home!

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.

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.

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.
