This property is nestled in a beautiful location surrounded by nature and only 8 minute drive to main beach in Byron, it was the perfect escape from the busy centre. The villa was exceptional and the staff were very welcoming. Thankyou!

From the moment we arrived we knew we had chosen well. Walking upto reception you get this overwhelming sense of mystic calmness and tranquil soul calming vibes. Checking into our cottage we were equally impressed to see the large amethyst geode adorning our private balcony with breathtaking views across the hillside, on offer to ya also was a hammock and a hot tub nestled into the hills. Our cottage was well equipped and again beautifully presented. Dealing with the hotel manager was a delight. He offered us reccomendations of places to check out that May suit us. My only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. I highly recommend this magical little getaway! Worth every penny!
