Located on the most easterly point of Australia's Wategos Beach, Rae's has seven individually styled penthouses and suites, a 60 seat restaurant and an awarded Day Spa is acclaimed Internationally for its charm and eclectic European interiors, style and architecture with lush gardens and sweeping ocean views.

The seven individually styled penthouses and suites are tastefully decorated with both international and local design influences and feature spa baths, wood fireplaces and spectacular views of the beach and Byron Bay headland.
Ray White Hotels Australia have been appointed to manage the property's sales in conjunction with Kay & Burton in Melbourne.
Tony Bargwanna, Ray White Hotels, said he expected high levels of interest in the trophy property which had set itself apart as one of the country's most acclaimed hotels.
"This is one of the best residential locations on the east coast of Australia, if not in the entire country," he said. "The sale presents an extremely rare opportunity to walk into a prime establishment and operate under a very successful brand which has positioned itself at the forefront of Australian hospitality."
The marketing campaign will be run nationally and internationally and we expect solid interest.
"Sold as an ongoing concern, with the hotel and restaurant generating solid annual revenue and profits, it's anticipated the buyer will purchase Rae's as a trophy asset and continue to run it as a boutique hotel. However it is a possibility the purchaser may convert the property to an exclusive private residence," said Barguanna.
