Waterfront vacation rentals in Clarkes Beach

We have stayed with Erica twice now and the place was great and the location even better. We would highly recommend to other guests.

This was one of the nicest, best equipped Airbnbs we have stayed in. Add to that the beautiful location... We stayed for 5 nights with our son's family to explore the area and had a great holiday. The apartment is convenient, private and quiet with all the home comforts you would want. All helping us to have a great stay. Highly recommended.

We were away for a girls trip and all 5 of us were impressed with the unit. So much space, very clean, air conditioned and walking distance to everything. Very quiet even though we were on main esplanade.

Great location. Quiet room away from lift and nice view of the garden. Next to restaurants and cafes. Good pool in the complex. Very comfortable bed!

Great location! the bikes make for a fun ride into town. The sound of the ocean puts you to sleep and the birds in the morning are a lovely wake up! close walk to a delicious and busy Cafe as well as restaurants. Jim was very responsive for any questions I had or anything that we needed. It was our second time back and we can't wait for another trip back in the future!

Paul & Cheryl were lovely hosts who were very responsive. We had a beautiful stay with our 4 month old daughter. We felt right at home amongst the trees , and walking distance to the beach. Would highly recommend. Thank you again.

Damian was very accomodating and allowed us a late checkout. Ver responsive and helpful. Beautiful location view and close to everything…. Even saw a turtle in the river 😀

We had a lovely stay at Suzette’s place. What a gorgeous apartment! Had everything we could possibly need. Lovely and clean, comfy bed, great furnishings. Fantastic location across from the river and only just around the corner from the shops, pub etc. Couldn’t fault anything and will definitely return soon.

Amazing Stay!!! Easy Check-In / Easy Check-Out. Place was Practical for Our Family. Close to Everything - Local and Coastal. My 2 Dogs Loved the Back Yard. We feel like we should have stayed for Longer - 5 days was clearly not enough, as the Place was very fitting for Us....the Lake, the Beaches, the Golf Course. We loved that there were Plants in every Room of the Home. We Loved the Sun-Room, the dogs were happy to make the most of the room in the evenings. And My Little Toddler loved her Bedroom Space. Thank You for having Us. We hope next time we go to Ballina we can be in consideration for this Place Longer, as it really was The Best in Terms of Value and Locality.

So peaceful ! Rained overnight and the rain on the roof sounded amazing. Could easily stay a week and escape from the world :)

Although the home is a bit old it is a perfect place for a family to stay for a beach holiday together. The surrounding area and beach are gorgeous. The area is very quiet, and it feels as though you are in a bubble away from the busyness of Byron Bay. The beach at the front of the home is not far to walk to and the home has two cool cabanas to use for shade. Overall, the home has adequate facilities for a family, a few items need repair.

Great home, great location and Carmel is a great host!

We had a wonderful few days in Kingscliff. The house was perfect and had everything needed for a comfortable and fun stay. Location was spot on and easy to navigate and walk too. Would highly recommend this stay.

What an amazing place to stay! The Platypus Lodge was gorgeous, with incredibly peaceful privacy. Stunning place, would recommend a visit, and we’d love to visit again!

Amanda truly saved our first anniversary weekend. We originally booked elsewhere, but due to a double booking, we were left without a place to stay - until we found Amanda’s listing. She responded quickly, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and had the home ready for us that day. The communication was clear and thoughtful, with detailed instructions and fantastic local recommendations. The home itself was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the high-quality handwash and bathroom products, extra towels and bathrobe — a lovely touch that made it feel a step above your usual Airbnb. We also loved that the property was dog-friendly. While the beach right next to the house wasn’t dog-friendly, a short drive brought us to one that was perfect for pups. It was wonderful being able to fall asleep hearing the ocean but being surrounded by a rainforest. We’d absolutely stay again, either here or at another of Amanda’s properties - Highly recommend!

We had an amazingly peaceful week at Jason’s beautifully private and secluded rainforest retreat. The interior is thoughtfully decorated to align with the natural surroundings. We sat for hours on the back deck listening to the sounds of the babbling creek which was simply sublime! The cottage is well equipped with everything you could possibly want and Jason & Donna were very responsive and friendly hosts. If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, this is the best place! 10 minutes to Nimbin and a great Aussie bakery with the best pies and old-fashioned chocolate eclairs! We will definitely be return guests.

Perfect location for our group. Would definitely love to return. The beach was so close and lovely places to eat. Thank you for having us.

Great place to stay. Easy walk to Byron. Property was beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were super comfy, and the outdoor area was perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. Loved the peaceful setting—close enough to town to enjoy the vibe, but far enough to feel like a retreat. Would definitely stay again!

Tim's apartment is clean, homely, has a great view, and was a fantastic respite for our NDIS participant who had been going through a challenging time. Tim was even generous enough to offer an extra night free of charge which we couldn't be happier about. Thank you very much

Like walking into a brand new home and bigger than expected. Very dog friendly
