Raes on Wategos

Raes on Wategos, boutique hotel on Wategos Beach

Raes on Wategos is an intimate retreat located on Wategos Beach in Byron Bay (New South Wales, Australia). The property presents itself as a retreat that blends beachfront living with the comfort of a private hotel experience, spread across two properties: Raes Hotel and Raes Guesthouses.

Accommodation: penthouses, suites and guesthouses

Raes Hotel comprises two penthouses and five suites arranged around a pool and tropical gardens, in a beachfront setting. Raes Dining Room, Cellar Bar and Raes Spa are also located on the same grounds. The second property, Raes Guesthouses, is a one-minute walk from the hotel and has ten rooms and suites, indoor common areas, two lap pools, open log fireplaces and a private Terrace Bar. The accommodation offering is described as premium penthouses, rooms and suites, with an understated coastal aesthetic that complements the original architecture of the buildings.

Raes Dining Room and Cellar Bar

The dining offering is led by Executive Chef Jason Saxby. Raes Dining Room serves a contemporary Australian menu with a Mediterranean influence, with views over Wategos Beach and its surrounds. The complex also includes the Cellar Bar.

Raes Spa

Raes Spa offers an exclusive range of destination-inspired body and facial treatments in an intimate and secluded setting.

Sea Raes

The company describes Sea Raes as an extension of its seaside home: the vessel M.Y Sea Raes offers a Mediterranean escape experience in Australian waters.

Additional services and activities

The site includes gallery, events, journal, gift vouchers and store sections, as well as a booking system for rooms and tables. The company also provides information on nearby airports: Gold Coast Airport (Eastern Ave, Bilinga, QLD 4225), around a 55-minute drive away, and Ballina Airport (210 Southern Cross Dr, Ballina, NSW 2478), around 35 minutes away.

Two locations on Marine Parade

The business is spread across two adjoining addresses on Marine Parade, Byron Bay: the hotel with the restaurant, bar and spa, and the guesthouses. The company therefore operates two distinct properties within the same coastal setting.
