I spent 3 days at Rae's with my wife & son, we had an absolutely amazing experience. It is situated right on wategos beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The rooms have a personal touch that makes you feel at home instantly. The menu in the restaurant down stairs was fresh and exciting, lots of seafood,... More

I stayed here with my partner for a romantic week-end. My expectations were extremely high from all I had heard about it from Brisbane locals/ friends ( and the A list of celebrities noted in the guest book was extraordinary). I wasn't disappointed. The place is gorgeous, the staff dedicated to the cause, the food superb and the wine list... More

What a perfect venue for a party! Just celebrated a friends 40th last week in Penthouse 1 after a fantastic meal in the fish cafe. Highly recommended to anyone seeking something a little different from the norm in a magic setting.

I stayed here for the night before my wedding, and my wedding night. We stayed in the Penthouse which was amazing, it was large and had two very good sized bedrooms. The decor was lovely, and the views were amazing. We didnt see the standard room, so i can't comment on how they are, but the penthouse was perfect for... More

Stayed at Raes in January hoping for an unbelievable experience due to the charges per night and the glossy website. Should have checked with trip advisor! I am writing this as I am horrified as someone has recommended it in this months Qantas magazine within the article about Byron Bay. Overpriced, tired, musty and dark - save your money, I... More

Rae's is a fabulous looking building - from the outside! Inside it's quite clear the glory days have past. We stayed in the late March to celebrate my husbands birthday. I don't think we have ever paid so much for a hotel room - not even in a boutique slick hotel in New York (The Standard) or the iconic Peninsula... More

My wife and I booked at Rae's on Wategos due to its reputation for being a first class hotel. Unfortunately the weather at the time was terrible however my introduction to the hotel was being escorted into a dark and damp room with little or no character. I quickly found out that Wi Fi was an additional charge to the... More

Hacienda style 6 room boutique hotel on Australia's most eastern point. Sitting above the Perfect Beach it has everything a discerning traveller could ever wish for. Every room is unique and sumptuous. All have anazing views of cape Byron and that oh so perfect white sandy beach with surfers riding the pacific waves in perfect synchronicity. Impeccable service and some... More

Most of the reviews posted previously are correct - the good and the bad ones. Rae's at Watago's is an interesting mix of amazing, and frustratingly inadequate. Its important to point out that we booked last minute and, as there were three rooms available to us to choose from (out of a total of 7), we were able to agree... More
