The Old Church | Byron Bay

August/September $1500 weekend special

2014-07-07T10:11:00.001+10:00

'The Old Church' is calling YOU for a weekend of relaxation!!!

It's been a long time since weekends were offered at $1500 for 3 nights. That's 25% off the current rate.

You get Friday/Saturday with Sunday night free of charge, or you could take Thursday night free instead if available.

We still have the weekends of August 1st-4th, 8th-11th and 22nd-25th available.
September has all weekends available except 19th-22nd.

Call, text or email now if you want to secure one of these discounted weekends. We require full payment to secure this rate. The house sleeps a maximum of 12 people but don't feel like you require maximum numbers to enjoy yourself as it's also fabulous for smaller groups.

There's a massage table if you want to call a private massage therapist or there's GAIA health retreat owned by Olivia Newton John and partners up the road - they also offer great treatments.

By the way, have you looked at our reviews lately on STAYZ, Trip Advisor or own website?

A great rate for 'The Old Church' in June

2014-06-13T10:49:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone,

I want to let you know about specials deals for June, including this weekend!

Our calendar is filling up fast after we changed our minds and decided not to sell the church (because no-one wanted to pay enough!)

There's still space on the June calendar so we'd like to fill it up with lovely people like you - but be quick - the 23rd-30th June was just booked a few moments ago.

If anyone is interested in making a booking with extra special rates, call and discuss what kind of group will be staying and I'll see if I can work out a great rate.

If we know you'll leave it spotless and not be noisy it's easier to negotiate!

Call me direct or email.

Great news from the owners of 'The Old Church'

Nobody wanted to pay enough for our lovely house 'The Old Church' so we decided to keep it!

We'd love to have you back so please keep us in mind. Midweek is a great time to stay at only $250 for 2 people and $25 each extra person. If you're a repeat guest and tidy, we are happy to negotiate special rates if you book 4 nights.

We had stopped taking bookings post April 2014 but now that's changed and they are coming in thick and fast. We are still relatively quiet in May and June with next weekend still available (make us an offer) and the June weekends of 13th-16th and 20th-23rd also available.

Our weekend price had increased to $2000 for Fri/Sat nights with Sunday still free for full payment on booking but we've reduced it to $1700 for weekends for a short time. That's for the entire weekend for up to 12 people.

The Old Church near BYRON BAY AUCTION

2014-01-17T11:32:00.000+11:00

After 12 years we've decided to sell 'The Old Church' and she's being auctioned on March 1st!

There's home opens every Saturday from now until late Feb through Ray White Real Estate. The big question is how much. The property is expected to sell for around 1 million but you never know at auction. Could be more, could be less. Check out the link www.rwbyronbay.com property ID 1068064. Agent: Kaye Wilkie : 0412 856 208

SO - It's your last chance to book a holiday while we own it ! BOOK NOW. The AUSTRALIA DAY LONG WEEKEND IS AVAILABLE for Sat/Sun/Mon nights, also the last week of January... and there's plenty of space in Feb and March. However none of the Friday night's in Feb are available due to 'home open' viewings on Saturday mornings. April is almost booked out and there's no bookings being taken past April.

3 nights weekends are $1750 less 10% for full payment but if you book during February for Saturday/Sunday night only it's $1250 with full payment.

There's no guarantee the next owners will continue with tourist accommodation; they might just enjoy a luxury holiday house for private use.

Call Kylie now to make an enquiry or booking on 0402 245 957.

New Innovations at The Old Church

For all those who've stayed at the church previously, there are now iPOD docks in all bedrooms, a new flatscreen TV in lounge, a stereo in the games room as well as the lounge room ...and Austar connections in both the lounge and back studio bedroom.

There are fly screens being installed around the church in the next couple of months and a new spiral staircase ordered that will go from the games room to the upstairs studio (to replace the external stairs). This won't be in place until closer to Xmas. It is all a part of our never-ending improvements, thanks to your feedback.

The Old Church | News and Specials

2009-06-26T09:22:00.001+10:00

It's been a busy 12 months at 'The Old Church' in the Byron Bay Hinterland. We've now been operating for 8 years and gone through some really big changes - mainly renovations.

Some guests will remember when the church looked very different ! If you're reading this email you've either stayed at the church or enquired about it in the past.

Special Offer Includes New Year's and Blues Festival - Anyone who makes a booking before the end of July and pays for their booking in full will receive a 10% discount. This includes the week of New Years Eve which is still available and next years Blues Festival held over Easter. There's also plenty of availability in January 2010 which is unusual for that time of the year. The availability calendar is generally updated every day so take a look at www.theoldchurchbyronbay.com

The latest renovations at the Church include :

A brand new kitchen which would make any chef happy!
New games room at the back of the property with table tennis, couches, extra food and beer fridge
Back deck off the games room with outdoor dining and BBQ
New bathroom downstairs, replacing small existing bathroom. New vanity and hand basin in upstairs bathroom.
There's also been a full paint job inside and out which took 6 months from start to finish.
The church is no longer that horrible pink !
Another addition is FREE wireless broadband for laptops, i-phones etc. IPOD connection also available for stereo.

Something that may interest the girls - Around 50% of bookings at 'The Old Church' are all women ! There's been everything from mums escaping the kids and husbands for the weekend, bookclubs from the Gold Coast, hens night weekends, girly get-togethers and indulgent weekends that generally involve facials and massages at Gaia Health Retreat 3 minutes from the Church that is owned by Olivia Newton John and her business partners. There is a fantastic range of treatments available and you're allowed to use the spa and pool if you book in for a treatment at Gaia, as well as dine at the restaurant for lunch. Don't rule out the boys entirely as it is also popular with men and couples. I recommend the Hot Rocks massage or Kahuna massage.

Harvest Cafe - About 100 metres from the church is the award winning "Harvest Cafe" where you can eat breakfast or lunch 7 days per week and dinner on Friday/Saturday nights. It's a good idea to book on the weekends or if you have a group of 10-12 - that way you'll get a great table. You can contact Harvest via the links on our website.

We really hope to see you again in 2009 / 2010. The church will continue to improve each year as we proceed with ongoing renovations. If you are planning to return or to book for the first time please be aware that we DO NOT allow any weddings, parties, functions, events or similar at the church due to noise issues, parking and our water treatment system which is designed to cater for a maximum of 12 people. This is an accommodation property only. Food, fun and wine are fine !!!

Think of the church as a great big house with enormous living spaces, plenty of room to spread out, big comfortable couches, fully equipped in every way to have a relaxing, indulgent holiday with your friends or family.
