Stayed here for 1 night in the pool cabana room. Room was clean, spacious, had a super comfy bed, and had the most amazing uninterrupted views of the Byron Hinterland. Francesca was so friendly and helpful, almost felt like when you have a friend you haven't seen for ages but still know each other so well! Will definitely be back!

We returned home today after 3 nights at SummerHills. I want to thank Francesca for her incredible hospitality, this lovely retreat is run like a home. Everything was spotless and our suite was beautifully appointed with everything we needed. Incredibly comfortable and so quiet. It rained the entire time but it didn't matter at all. Its a fair drive to... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for the weekend, as a couple who like to "get away for the weekend" and relax, this was a perfect place to do do. The mountain views and fresh air were just what we needed, as well as the excellent hospitality of the owners/manager, who welcomed us like family and went out of their... More

My daughter and I came to Summer Hills for my birthday in Oct 2012. We were looking for a quiet retreat to "get away from it all". The cottage we had was bigger than some of my friends houses and was immaculate!. We enjoyed having quiet mornings at the retreat then heading down the hill to busy Byron Bay. In... More

We had the pleasure of staying in SummerHills Retreat in October 2012. We stayed at the Cabana spa cabin which had breathtaking views and it proved the ultimate relaxing experience. I had organised the stay to propose to my girlfriend and Francesca (the Manager) proved to be a godsend in assisting me to ensure the proposal went perfectly. While my... More

We wake to the gentle mooing on the hills and feel the fresh breeze floating the sheer drapes over our tanned skin. A refreshing skinny dip in the salt water pool and a hot cup of Byron Bay coffee starts our day. Where are we? close to heaven. To be exact Summerhills Retreat in Bangalow. The secret is out. This...
