RAES ON WATEGOS

An iconic Byron Bay beachfront retreat.

Recently refurbished, interior designer Tamsin Johnson was the perfect choice to update this iconic establishment, as Raes was keen to work with an individual rather than a firm, to ensure a personal touch.

"The refurbishment has been a dream project for Sydney-based interior designer Tamsin Johnson, who spent a night in each of the suits before proposing her concept!"

"This was an essential process to really feel the function of each room; To see where the light floods in the afternoon, where the breeze blows and generally which areas of each room you gravitate towards… every room has an entire different personality so it was important to match the new interior, and have it become an extension of this." Tamsin said.

"The rooms were so cluttered and the natural surroundings are overwhelmingly beautiful so restraint was the most important key for the design; the process of omitting items was as important as selecting every new piece."

Using natural fabrics and a monochrome muted palette, Tamsin incorporated custom joinery, sturdy outdoor-strength upholstery, and unique rattan woven furniture.

Tamsin details that "Simple linen curtains with bespoke metal tie backs, custom travertine coffee tables and dip dyed solid concrete bed side tables sit beside the signature Raes bedhead design… the balance of comfort and beauty was key so every guest can settle in like it’s their own home."

The space oozes modern luxe vibes, which, paired with natural textures, occasional eclectic pieces and pops of green contributes to the priceless boho-chic ambiance.

The overall feel of the boutique resort, spa and restaurant exudes total elegance, opulence and privacy in an ideal location.

You can visit Raes for lunch, or even stay a few nights to enjoy the full experience.
