Private Transfers to Gaia Retreat & Spa

Gaia Retreat & Spa is in the Byron Bay hinterland near Brooklet, inland from the coast. Unison Transfers runs fixed price private chauffeur transfers to the property from Gold Coast Airport (OOL), Brisbane Airport (BNE) and Gold Coast and Brisbane addresses.

Which Airport

Ballina Byron Gateway (BNK) is the closest airport to the Byron hinterland, then Gold Coast, then Brisbane. Note our licence: a Ballina airport pickup to a Byron hinterland retreat is a NSW to NSW leg, which we are not permitted to run. We can bring you from a Queensland airport, and we can return you to one.

For most guests that means flying into OOL or BNE, both of which we quote as fixed prices, Gold Coast to Byron Bay is from $174 and Brisbane to Byron Bay from $374.

The Hinterland Drive

The approach leaves the highway for narrow country roads through cane and macadamia country. It is beautiful and it is easy to miss a turn. Mobile coverage is unreliable, so we agree the return before you go in rather than relying on calling from the property.

Time Zones

Byron is in NSW and the Gold Coast is in Queensland. Between October and April NSW observes daylight saving and Queensland does not, so there is a one hour difference. We work in the time zone of your pickup point and confirm it in writing, because this is the single most common cause of a missed transfer in this region.

The Fleet

Vehicle Seats Luggage
Lexus ES300h executive sedan up to 4 2 large
Mercedes Benz V Class up to 7 6 to 7 large
Mercedes Benz Vito Tourer up to 7 5 to 6 large
Mercedes Benz V250d up to 7 6 to 7 large

A party of eight or more travels in two or more vehicles departing and arriving together, quoted as one job.

What Every Fare Includes

Unison Transfers is a Queensland licensed booked hire operator, BHSL 258504, BEA 260412, ABN 45 647 949 488. A real person answers 0401 605 940 from 5am to 9pm, and we are rated 5.0 from 41 verified Google reviews.
