4-Star Hotels in Lennox Head, NSW

Just north of Byron Bay, the relaxed coastal village of Lennox Head offers a more serene Australian beach escape. The main draw is its legendary point break at Lennox Point, a world-famous right-hand wave that attracts surfers from across the globe. When the swell is down, the seven-kilometer stretch of Pat Morton Beach is perfect for long walks, while the Lake Ainsworth tea-tree lake provides unique, rust-coloured swimming. The grassy headland itself is the ideal spot for a picnic or to watch hang-gliders launch into the breeze.

This is a destination for travellers seeking a slower pace, appealing strongly to couples, surf enthusiasts, and families wanting a classic beach holiday away from bigger crowds. The village centre along Ballina Street has cafes and shops, and staying within a few blocks of here puts you close to everything. Lennox Head is easily reached, about a 15-minute drive from Ballina Byron Gateway Airport and 25 minutes from the heart of Byron Bay.

Accommodation here is dominated by self-contained holiday apartments, motels, and a few boutique guesthouses. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the modern, apartment-style Lennox Beach Resort right across from the surf, or the more budget-conscious Lennox Head Motel, which offers simple rooms just a short stroll from the village centre.
