Byron Plantation

Byron Plantation draws heritage from the classic Queenslander and is set in one of the district's most verdant nooks. It is perched on a ridge in Newrybar near Byron Bay and five minutes' coffee run from the idyllic village of Bangalow. The views of the ocean across the macadamia nut plantations are inspiring and will have you looking up in awe from your book as you relax poolside.

The homestead features a flowing interior layout with extraordinary panoramas from every window. Beautiful 20th century classic Danish furniture characterize the stylish interiors that offers modern comforts including Bose sound to every room. For a touch of country, polished wooden floors and a log fire complete the picture. There are two bathrooms and four big bedrooms, two with French doors that open onto the grand wrap-around veranda. For the budding MasterChef, the gourmet kitchen offers the perfect stage to create meals using fresh herbs and eggs gathered on the property.

This 100-acre property would also make an ideal setting for a spectacular wedding party, perhaps by the 17-metre pool with its stunning ocean and hinterland views, followed by a reception at Harvest Cafe in Newrybar.

Byron Bay is a 15-minute drive away and also check out Bangalow, which is the only intact Federation-period village on Australia's east coast.
