Hens Party Venues in Byron Bay & Surrounds

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Hens weekends gravitate to Byron Bay for the beach by day and a long night out after it. The two venues here pull in opposite directions: one keeps the group in the thick of town, the other sets up in a leafy garden a little out of the centre.

Picking between the two Byron hens settings:

Right in town: Loft Byron Bay sits upstairs on the corner of Jonson Street and Bay Lane, close to the sand at Main Beach.
Terraces with a breeze: the Loft floor splits into three terraces, a bar and a private dining room that seats 30.
Canapés and cocktails: stand-up packages at Loft Byron Bay start at $29 per person, with set share menus for a seated lunch.
Garden afternoons: North Byron Hotel on Bayshore Drive has lounges, a covered deck and a garden with vinyl DJs on weekends.
Getting everyone home: North Byron Hotel has its own car park and a free shuttle bus around the local area.

Loft caters for groups from 15 upwards, and the pub's bookable areas start at 30 guests. Bigger parties can take a whole terrace at Loft or a garden section at the pub.

Start on the beach, then head upstairs to Loft Byron Bay for sunset cocktails on a terrace.
Book the private dining room at Loft for a seated hens lunch away from the main bar.
Spend the afternoon among the picnic tables at North Byron Hotel, where shared set menus start at $25 per person.
Use the pub's shuttle bus to get the group back to its accommodation.

What to settle before a Byron Bay hens booking

Choose between a bar tab, a drinks package or pay-as-you-go drinks at Loft Byron Bay.
Confirm whether the group wants a corner of the venue or its own private area.
Ask about the Lounge and side deck at North Byron Hotel, which hold up to 100 under cover.
Mention dietary needs early so the share menus can be adjusted.
