Shutters on the Hill
Everything is on a grander scale at Shutters on the Hill. From the panoramic views of the Byron Bay countryside, to the swimming pool and tennis court, to the veranda and high ceilings of the stylish living areas; it provides a hugely welcoming group getaway space. Complete with rambling gardens, this villa provides a sanctuary within striking distance of Bryon’s legendary beaches. This home is perfect for those seeking a premium group experience, no matter the time of year. The sumptuously furnished and air-conditioned interiors, complete with fireplace, formal dining room and 3 kitchens, come equipped with a suite of entertainment options. Complete with a kids room and ensuite bathrooms, guests can enjoy every aspect of a home away from home. However, what really sets Shutters on the Hill apart is the (very Australian) sense of space that it provides at a moment’s notice. At any time, a guest can take a walk through the perfectly maintained gardens, take up a sun lounger by either pool, or read and relax out on the expansive wooden veranda. With the home divided into three special dwellings, guests will be able to choose the exact experience that suits them best. When time comes to venture beyond the villa, Shutters on the Hill is perfectly positioned. Guests have almost instant access to the legendary pristine beaches of the region, and can venture down the coast for more secluded options. Further adventure awaits via easy access to the nearby Pacific Highway - including exploring nearby Nightcap National Park, a world heritage listed rainforest. From this home, guests can make any kind of daily activity choice, including golfing, sea-sports, surfing, hiking, and even beach horse riding, with all the nightlife and restaurant choices of the Byron region awaiting them at the end of a packed day.

Barefoot at Broken Head
Walk barefoot from this oceanside villa to the sands of Broken Head, a favorite beach for families and surfers in the Byron Bay region. Take the villa’s surfboard and conquer one of the top point-breaks in the world. Then return for poolside lounging and home-cooked feasts amid the sounds of kookaburra birds and the rhythmic sea. This contemporary oasis emphasizes the lush natural beauty of Australia’s easternmost edge. Designed and built around 3 age-old pine trees, it features ample outdoor living areas and broad doorways that breathe the dune-softened air. Enjoy a workout in the 20-meter lap pool or simply relax in the shallow lounge pool under the open sky. Make the most of the villa’s bicycles and paddle board, or curl up with a favorite book in the dappled afternoon shade. Kindle the barbecue in the evening and relish an alfresco meal with a bottle of Australian wine. The Northern Rivers region of New South Wales has something for everyone, from its extraordinary beaches, to the restaurants and cafes of Byron Bay town, to the history and panoramic views of Byron Bay Lighthouse. If you’ve never surfed before, this is definitely the place to try a first lesson, while skydiving and deep-sea fishing also beckon to thrill-seeking travelers. Explore the bohemian enclave of Nimbin and visit one of the area’s artisan and farmers markets. Nature-lovers will want to visit Broken Head Nature Reserve, Arakwal National Park, and the Cape Bay Walking Track. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

La Reserve
Palm fronds dance over the driveway, framed by panoramic forest views from this warm-hearted contemporary home 10 minutes outside Byron Bay. It’s nestled into 2 acres in Broken Head Forest, so rainforest canopy fills floor-to-ceiling windows and rustling leaves serves as soundtrack. A 7-minute drive leads to the family-friendly beach and surf break at Broken Head Beach. Morning coffee and alfresco dinners are a breeze on the covered alfresco sitting area and the umbrella-shaded outdoor dining table. Follow the steps past a sun-splashed terrace and shaded loungers to the private infinity pool overlooking the forest. Drawing inspiration from mid-century ranch homes, with their vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows, the villa takes the airy feel to another level with a slide-away glass wall between great room and terrace. Blond-wood details adorn the living and dining areas, and a waterfall countertop adds even more natural texture in the skylight-brightened, fully equipped kitchen. A separate family room has a sectional perfect for stretching out and watching TV. It’s just a 4-minute drive from the villa’s relative seclusion to Broken Head Beach, a sandy curve tucked beneath the headland that’s often quieter than some of the area’s other beaches. If you’re looking for beach festivals, surf lessons, whale-watching and snorkeling excursions, and great shopping and dining, make the 10-minute drive to Byron Bay. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.
