Our Experts

What do our experts say about Byron Bay?

Visit The Farm on the outskirts of town to get yourself into the vibe of Byron. From there, head on out to the Hinterlands to visit the Three Blue Ducks – an exceptional place for brunch, they also happen to sell an amazing Portuguese Tart, but make sure you get there early before the sell out!

What do I love about working at The Tailor?

Working with an amazing team of people from all walks of life with a passion for creating exception experiences that showcase our beautiful country.

Beach escape or outback adventure? Why?

The outback! I’ve been lucky to have lived in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and now Adelaide with easy access to beaches, city life and now wine country. The Outback however draws me in with its remoteness, stunning scenery, and the colours, especially the red soil, green scrubs, and trees and the bluest of skies.
