'The Bonobo by Raes, a visionary hotel-apartment concept in the heart of Byron Bay is coming to life in Autumn 2026. Conceived as a hybrid hotel offering, The Bonobo by Raes offers the space and privacy of luxurious apartments with the convenience, service and atmosphere of a 5-star hotel. The Bonobo by Raes will deliver an elevated lifestyle experience that redefines luxury in the region and set a new benchmark for boutique hospitality.

74 one, two and three-bedroom suites frame a central open-air courtyard at ground level, surrounded by a curated mix of retail tenancies spanning dining, lounge bar, wellness and fashion. Together, these spaces create a vibrant yet design-led precinct - welcoming, connected and grounded in Raes’ signature relaxed style and understated hospitality.

The Bonobo offers tenants a highly visible setting within a destination capable of welcoming over 300 visitors at any one time. Retail spaces benefit from strong integration with the broader precinct and a direct connection to both in-house guests and the wider community, creating an outstanding platform for businesses seeking long term presence in one of Australia’s most culturally engaged coastal towns.

Tenancy R4 presents a standout hospitality opportunity - a food-approved restaurant space of approximately 200 sqm*, complete with an installed grease trap and prominent Jonson Street frontage. Positioned within Byron Bay’s evolving town centre, the tenancy benefits from high pedestrian visibility and momentum, with significant new developments emerging directly across the street. Framed by soft concrete columns and warm natural finishes, the connected courtyard offers generous communal seating designed to encourage connection, lingering and a vibrant environment for patrons.
