Favourite local food spots ? Carnarvon has an active cafe strip where you can enjoy a coffee in a number of alfresco cafes . There are a number of hotels and restaurants that provide a variety of quality meals .
What does an ideal weekend in Carnarvon look like ?
Fishing is a major social activity for many of the local population , either going out in the boat or one of the many land based fishing spots . Carnarvon has a very moderate climate and any chance to get outdoors is appreciated .
There ’ s an abundance of sporting activities to be enjoyed such as horse racing , football , netball , and speedway . A trip to the Carnarvon Space Museum is a must . The town played a major role in communicating with the first moon landing back in 1969 .
How ’ s the real estate market going there ?
The market ’ s bubbling along nicely . There ’ s been an upturn in sales activity and a low vacancy rate for rental property . We ’ ve also experienced an increase in buyer activity from people looking to relocate to Carnarvon .

Ray White Carnarvon began back in 1997 under its current ownership . We have seven staff across admin , property management and sales . We ’ re the largest real estate agency in the town with 230 properties under management .

RAY WHITE BYRON BAY
David Gordon and Damien Smith , Directors
Favourite local food spots ? Byron Bay is blessed with so many incredible eating places but if I had to choose just two I would say - Beach Restaurant for Lunch and The Loft Restaurant for Dinner .
What does an ideal weekend in Byron look like ?
An ideal weekend starts with The Lighthouse Walk , then a swim , breakfast at Beach Cafe , a few hours on the beach ,
Japanese takeaway on Saturday night and a barbeque to catch up with friends on Sunday .
How ’ s the real estate market going there ?
The market has been incredibly good for the past two years with a record number of sales for record prices . We ’ re starting to see it return to its normal levels in some sectors but the demand for Byron Bay properties is still high .
What ’ s the history of Ray White Byron Bay ?
Our office has a 44-year history with Byron Bay and we enjoy a reputation as being one of the most trusted agencies in the Bay . I ’ ve been in real estate for 37 years in Byron Bay and we have a team of 16 staff over two offices . Byron Bay is the most recognised town in
Australia and continues to embrace the challenges that come with its popularity . The authentic Byron Bay is truly beautiful and it ’ s what you make of it . It ’ s exciting that it offers so many different levels of lifestyle to so many different levels of people .
