Luxury Farm Stay Cottage, perfect Byron Bay Hinterland location

“On earth there is no heaven but there are pieces of it . . . “

Barefoot and dreaming in luscious dewy meadows, amongst old cane and vintage memories. Soaking in a warm clawfoot bath, or days lazing by the pool. You need do absolutely nothing but put your feet up, marvel at the scenery and relax. Memories are made here. . .

PLEASE NOTE GUESTS PAY NO AIRBNB COMMISSION / BOOKING FEES ON OUR BOOKINGS.

The space
Heartwood Farm is luxury farm stay accommodation on a 100 acre cattle farm established in the early 1900s. Nestled on the banks of the Wilson River and located in Federal in the picturesque Byron Bay Hinterland. You will fall deeply in love with this place.

Days or weeks can be spent reading, taking long baths, walking through meadows, swimming, fishing, dreaming, loving — and like us, you will never want to leave.

The quaint village of Federal, just four minutes away, has a quintessential rural Australian soul. It is home to the renowned Doma Café and historic Federal General Store.

Luxury Styling ...

This luxury country cottage has been designed, renovated and styled with love featuring furnishings from around Australia and the world.

It is brimming with curated collections, fine linens and cosy textures. Heartwood Farm is our getaway, so no detail has been spared. It has everything you need to luxuriate.

Heartwood Farm has a full kitchen with dishwasher, shower, clawfoot bath, wifi, television, Netflix, Bluetooth speaker, picnic rug, heated plunge pool and fire pit overlooking the Byron Bay Hinterland. There is ample parking, including areas for those towing a boat or caravan.

For Families

Heartwood Farm is generally not suitable for children under 12 given the delicate nature of the furnishings, but if you would like to bring your children and you are happy to pay a $500 security deposit, please contact us and we will happily oblige.

The Space

Heartwood Farm sits on its own ridge surrounded by big skies, rolling vistas and grazing cows.

The Wilson River forms the north eastern boundary and is the perfect place for swimming, fishing and lazy summer picnics by the secluded swimming hole.
