Our host, Denise, was very welcoming! We were greeted with fresh flowers, farm eggs, milk and other supplies for our stay. She was very easy to contact during the weekend, and very prompt with any communication before and after our visit. In fact, we really felt like guests rather than paying customers :-) Other bonuses: Although check out was at 11am, we were able to leave a car at the property while we went bush walking nearby, and were offered the use of the pool when we returned. An item I left behind was also returned by post at no cost. Federal is a lovely little village, with a fantastic cafe, and plenty to see close by (Minion Falls, Byron Bay, Bangalow). We had originally planned to stay in Bangalow, but were very happy to come 'home' to Federal after a busy day out, as it was quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended!

What a great stay we had at Denise's! This is a studio in Paradise. It is so private, spacious and so well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We had a gorgeous swim and were able to relax with the stunning view from the lovely deck. The studio is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is fabulous with everything you would need to cook a meal. The bathroom is really modern and spacious and the bath is fantastic! Denise was really welcoming and helpful with tips about the local area. The breakfast supplies were just perfect too. We even helped ourselves to some veggies from the garden! It was so nice to stay out of the hustle bustle of Byron . From here you can visit many fabulous places in the Byron area. Totally recommend to everyone!

Denise and Murray were awesome hosts. We were given fresh eggs and milk. Lots of lovely condiments to use. We were welcomed to use fresh fruit and veg from their beautiful garden. Furnished us with lots of useful info on local markets and places of interest. They were yoga mats and lots of towels to use in the pool and fluffy towels for use in bathroom. The bathtub is massive with a large window offering a gorgeous view. Well stocked bathroom with sunblock aloe Vera and hair dryer. Candles and bath products etc. Comfy beds and couch.

The perfect place to unwind and recharge the batteries, a magical view and completely private. Denise was very welcoming, and even thought to send helpful directions before we got there to ensure we wouldn't get lost!

Denise was incredibly welcoming when we arrived at the studio, she also allowed us all the privacy we needed during our stay. She was also incredibly generous providing eggs, butter and bread which made our stay much more convenient. The studio was absolutely delightful and homely. The studio had everything we needed and was very easy to find everything. The bed was very comfortable which was a much wanted change from hotels! Location is great very easy to get to many destinations with a car such as Byron etc. All in all excellent experience and would highly recommend!

We had a great week here with our 1 year old; great views, well appointed kitchen and easy going hosts! Would recommend!

Our stay was lovely. Everything we needed to just get away from it all.

When we arrived at 'Studio with a View', we were warmly greeted by Denise - she made us feel at home instantly! The views from the balcony were simply breathtaking, and the drive leading to the property was just gorgeous - what a wonderful part of the world! We were only sad that we couldn't stay longer - looking forward to our next stay. Lovely touches included candles around the cottage, fresh flowers from the garden, juice, milk and fresh coffee beans plus all the essential kitchen tools you need if you enjoy cooking - like we do. Even better - fresh herbs and chillies from the garden. Thank you so much Denise and Murray, we loved our first Air BNB experience, very best wishes to you both :)

Our stay at Byrangery Cottage met all expectations. Situated perfectly in the Byron hinterland it's a great place to relax & get away from it all. Lovely views into rolling green hills, light filled and perfectly decorated living spaces, comfy bed, useful kitchen, pool, friendly hosts, easy drive to the beach but also interesting places like Mullumbimby, Bangalow & Federal. We didn't want to leave and will very likely be back again!!

With Byron becoming less and less relaxing, we opted to stay out of town for a change. Turned out , it was the right decision! We couldn’t quite believe our luck when we arrived. Byrangery is nothing short of amazing. From the fine linen bedding, to the lush gardens and divine sourdough for breakfast, our stay was superb. Cressida is warm and generous host, with an impeccable eye for detail. We’re defintely planning on going back.

Wow, what a beautiful cottage, location and experience. We were made to feel very at home, the cottage was spotlessly clean and Cressy had thought of every little detail to make our holiday just so relaxing. Byrangery Cottage is full of character, the pool is stunning, the linen beautiful...you get the picture. We just felt so switched off from the world up there in the trees. Thank you Cressy x

We had a wonderful stay at Cressi's beautiful cottage! It is beautifully decorated and has a very warm and relaxing feel. It is close to Minyon Falls for those that want to go on a little afventure too!

Thank you Cressy! We loved staying at your place. It was a slice of heaven. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone heading to the Byron region. I particularly loved how well appointed and thoughtfully designed the place is, right down to fresh eggs and the linen. It was peaceful and stunning to watch the sunset. Thank you for such a warm welcome.

Cressy was the perfect host making us feel at home as well as giving us privacy. The cottage was beautiful in every way and I can't recommend staying here enough.

cressy was a wonderful host, warm, thoughtful and her place was absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend it for a relaxing and wonderful stay.

Simply put this place is Amazing! If you want a quiet getaway with ample space, stunning views, star lit nights, bird life and sympathetic design then this is the quintessence. We loved staying here! The kitchen is well appointed and Cressy kindly provided fresh produce in the fridge! The place is spotless and huge. Lovely touches like Aesop Shampoo and great coffee table books. We had a stunning view from the veranda - so much more than we expected. Truly a hidden gem. Location is quite out of the way so you will need a sat nav but the local village of Federal is a short drive and has a great store and cafes. Byron Bay is only 30 mins away so that works great too. I would recommend staying here to friends and family.

Lisa was a great host! She gave us great ideas for exploring her property and the nearby area. The accommodation was fantastic and we'd recommend this place to anyone looking to take a break in the Byron hinterland region. Thanks again!

A really great place to stay! Definitely recommend it for a rural retreat. The fire was divine

Pictures really don't do it justice! Kate was great to deal with we won't tell anyone about it as rather selfishly we want to be able to come back any time we please!

Fantastic house in the beautiful Byron hinterland. Surrounded by amazing scenery, it's an ideal place to truly unwind. We loved our stay, house is as looks on pics and very stylishly and comfortably designed. Kate and Lisa were really responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Kate & Lisa's house is a hidden gem in the Byron Bay hinterland. The interior is gorgeous with awesome furniture, wide open space and lots of beautiful art on display. I loved the area and surrounds as much as the house itself. Definitely a recommended option for a chilled stay just outside of Byron Bay. It was a bit chilly at times but with the fireplace and lots of wood in stock it became really cozy at night. Met only Kate who was friendly, helpful & easygoing. The ladies had stocked up some tea, honey, milk & juice which is always a great little add on! Got nothing but positive feedback! Thanks for having us!

This was a great place to stay for a few nights. Very private and tranquil. Couldn't have been better.

Home is relaxing, well kept, clean and in an awesome location. Double sided fire warms the room and the pool is relaxing. Located a short trip away to plenty of natural rainforests, other pituresque towns and close to Lismore, Byron Bay. Went for our first trip in 10years and were able to totally relax and unwind.

Brilliant house in a great spot. Decorated fantastically. Would recommend to anyone.

This place was absolutely amazing! The view from the very top of the property looking out onto the open rolling hills and ocean was breathtaking. Our checkin was very simple. The Inside of the house was perfect. My daughter has never had so much space to play. communication was great, when we were stuck with an issue, we were instantly told how to fix it. We will definitely stay here again, maybe even bring a few more people next time.

Great place!!! Very relaxing and awesome set up

Can't beat that view every morning. Not so far from Byron to be able to enjoy everything but far enough away for beautiful scenery and seclusion.

Beautiful location, very well organised with a helpful host.

The host canceled this reservation 42 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This place is paradise in the hinterland. Walkable to Dumo Japanese cafe and the general store. Kangaroos daily. Slept so well here in extremely comfortable beds and linen. Great host and property manager.

The house was spectacular, the views over Byron hinterland are absolutely fantastic as well. The pictures don't do this place justice and the team that marcels place has running the show are just as commendable. Thelma visited us whilst we were staying and left a great impression as a welcoming host and warm person. I recommend this place whole heartedly!

Darian and Damon provided a beautifully presented and appointed cottage for our stay. The adjoining deck overlooked manicured paddocks and trees, and the interior was clean and very smart. We loved the very comfortable king sized bed. Our accommodation also had access to a private inground pool. Darian also presented us with a very generous breakfast hamper on our arrival. The nearby hamlet of Federal is tiny but offers great coffee, and a handful of popular but different cafes. "Songbird" was situated in an area that serviced both the coastal towns and hinterland with ease. If you want peace and escapism in a beautiful environment, this place is for you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Songbird. Darian was very easy to communicate with and has thought of every last detail for her guests' absolute comfort, including the generous breakfast provisions. The bed was super comfortable, the place spotlessly clean and the peace only broken by the sweet sounds of the birds singing! Thank you Darian and Damon for making us feel so welcome, we highly recommend Songbird!

Darian and her husband were so warm and caring, wonderful hosts. The location was easy to find and perfect for that country getaway.

Set in the most picturesque hinterland surrounded by horse paddocks the cottage had everything and more. Our beautiful hosts had left us a big basket of fruits and breakfast supplies which were so amazing to wake up to. And that's not all you wake up to, lifting your head off the pillow to appreciate the beautiful sun rise. I would recommend this place to everyone and we will definitely be back.

Second visit, just as good as the first!!!

Great, will definitely be back again. Very accommodating in regards to our late check in. Nice to use the pool when the weather was undesirable at the beach. Thanks heaps Darian and Damon.

We spent 4 lovely days at Songbird, just wish it could have been a few days longer. Hosts Darian and Domon were very welcoming, helpful and friendly with lots of local knowledge. The apartment was beautiful decorated clean and modern with everything we needed. We loved the private decked area for cooking and eating outside in the mornings and evening with the birds (we especially enjoyed the welcome basket of local produce). The locations was only 15 minutes from Byron or Bangalow and great for access to the National parks. All in all we loved staying there and would definitely stay again if we are visiting the area.

My stay at Darian's was so lovely I didn't want to leave. It had all the comforts of home and was quiet with a beautiful outlook. Darian was so friendly and helpful. I can't wait to head back to Byron for work so I can stay in her lovely little studio again. The pool was a nice was to relax after a few meetings too! Thanks so much for having me! x

We had a wonderful time at the Federal Hilton. We found it just as described and picutred on the website. We found it a very relaxing place to stay; cosy and homely. It was a great place to stay with lots of amazing views from every angle. The gardens were beautiful also. Unfortunately we were out of season for the mango tree - we'll have to come back again! The town of Federal itself was gorgeous too and full of some lovely local people at the cute cafe who were very friendly. Thank you.

We loved everything about this property and would happily book it every year! Thank you very much Louise for enabling us to experience your unique part of the world.

The house was nice, clean and in a very pretty part of the world. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to unwind.

We had such a wonderful time staying here. The house is just lovely, a real home from home, with the cosy wood burner at the heart of the house keeping out winter chills. The kitchen is really nicely equipped and is a pleasure to cook in. We spotted so much great wildlife in and around the beautiful garden and made the most of all the citrus trees in fruit in the orchard. The kids loved having so much space to run around in and made the most of the trampoline. We really loved staying in this peaceful abode and would love to come back someday.

Het was voor ons een top huis! Wij hebben genoten van een week in de Federel Hilton! Het huis ligt heel centraal en toch helemaal privé in het groen. Byron bay en Bangalow waren dichtbij en makkelijk bereikbaar. De kinderen genoten van de ABCkids op Tv, de trampoline, klimboom en de fruitbomen,... Wij genoten van het mooie terras, de bedden en de goed uitgeruste keuken. Het huis is koud en moet worden verwarmd met een houtvuur. (Wij waren daar in mei dus iets koudere avonden, in de zomer zal dit een heel fris huis zijn) De communicatie was snel en vlot ( 2 dagen op voorhand gereserveerd) bedankt voor deze super ontspannende week!

The house was exactly as described. Gorgeous inside and a great, lush garden outside. Unfortunately none of the the fruit trees were ripe for our visit. House was well stocked for cooking. There is a gravel road to the house but it was well looked after and easily withstood some heavy rains. Lucky enough to spot a platypus at the swimming hole as well as a couple of snakes. So a little caution if you go for a swim. Lots of bird life with the resident kookaburras keeping time for us with his wakeup and sundown visits full of laughter. Host easy to deal with and good with communication. As is the nature of the location, there are a lot of insects so make sure and bring your repellent. Overall a serene and beautiful place to spend a week. The little store in town has pretty much everything you need for supplies.

Everything as expected. Place was perfect. And the stream was perfect. Beautiful experience and we will be back. Loved everything. Quiet, stars, trees people great

We had a wonderful, peaceful week at the Federal Hilton. Although it's only a couple of k down the end of a dirt road from the store (and the amazing Doma cafe), it feels like you're a million miles from anywhere. All you can hear is the creek and the birds. The house is funky and comfortable, with everything you could reasonably need and a lot of quirky decorative touches. Pretty good walking down to pick oranges, grapefruit and lemons for your breakfast too... Louise's information is comprehensive and helpful. All in all, a magical place - wholeheartedly recommended. We'll be back!

Mark has a nice cabin that could take in my whole family, it is a nice retreat out in the forest.

Mark was a great host. He provided great accommodation. Communication prior to booking was also thorough.

Mark and Johnny's place is a small paradise, very comfy and well located, close to Bangalow and Byron. Bedrooms and living are spacious with everything you need (and more - home cinema !). Mark and Johnny also left us some eggs from the hens in the garden and treats for the girls. It was easy to communicate with our host and we will definitely try to come back next time we want to stay in the area.

A quirky comfortable place to stay. Mark was a great host and was keen to help us out as much as he could while the remnants of Cyclone Debbie made a mess of our plans. The cot in the study was particularly useful and I loved the big screen TV. Thanks Mark!

I stayed at Mark's place with my parents and it was a perfect location to explore the hinterland.

We enjoy down to nature, but not expect in the house with bugs. I think you need to check the nets. I would recommend you mention about the Eco-frienly toilet, some people might not easy to have this special experience. We do enjoy the rain water tank, it's a good idea to remind people to save water, and sorry us to border Renee at midnight. Thanks Mark always being helpful, and his friend Renee solved our issue. We do really love Olive and Alice, they're absolutely adorable.

We were made to feel very welcome especially by Olive the dog. The cafe Domo across the road is fantastic!

We had a great stay at Mark's place. Love federal and the area. We highly recommend

Stunning place !

The house was amazing and we were greeted so warmly! Such a beautiful and quiet area in the Byron Hinterlands. We will be back!

We had a wonderful two nights at Mirika and Pete's place. The property is lush and private, and our hosts were welcoming and friendly. The place was spotless and homely, with everything you could need for a weekend get away. Freshly baked bread and a breakfast hamper was left for us too which was a lovely surprise. Huge, comfy bed and hot luxurious shower. We are planning our next trip back already.

We were made to feel very welcome and the property and environs were just as described. It was a truly stunning place - fantastic for couples or families - the river being at the bottom of the garden was perfect and lots of green space. It was closer to everywhere than we thought - particularly crystal castle, minyon falls and bangalow (for dinner!) and around 30 mins into byron. We just wished we had a few more days!

The house sits in the middle of a large, secluded garden which leads to a beautiful creek. The contrast between the surrounding dense forest and the planted, mowed garden creates a strong impression of tranquility. The house is quite pleasant, properly equipped and very clean - it worked well for us four (including two kids), but just be aware that it is not a large unit in the case you are traveling as a family. Our hosts Mik & Pete were lovely, and one can quickly see how much the beautiful gardens owe to their efforts. This great stay will remain in our memories.

A wonderful secluded retreat with friendly and discreet hosts. The property is stunning with a constant tension between exploring the area and just staying home and immersing ourselves in the beautiful environment. Sitting on the deck at any time of day is simply sublime. Thanks.

Peter and Marika were both lovely and very inviting. The place was immaculate and the studio was beautiful. We could of stayed forever but could only stay 2 nights. We felt so far removed from all the stresses that you can get caught up with in every day life. I would recommend staying at this lovely place to everyone.

This was an absolutely beautiful house. I stayed here with 7 of my girlfriends and there was plenty of space in the different areas of the house. It felt very secluded and like we were on our own private island. The gas fireplace was a real highlight as were the seats by the side of the pool with the most beautiful view! The earthworms also thought the pool looked inviting as there were quite a few who had gone swimming. The local region was beautiful to explore and I would definitely recommend an early morning run through the stunning rainforest and a drive up to the waterfall. It was like living in a postcard! The hot water was not as hot as we would have liked with some pressure issues as well. Annie has said that she will follow these up with the owners. The bath tub is amazing- very deep and comfortable. Annie was easy to contact and arriving and leaving was perfectly to plan. I would definitely recommend this house and we hope to return next year!

we had a fantastic time @ Kieta, the house is exactly like shown on the pictures, the area, garden and pool just fantastic!!! we can just highly recommend this to everyone - thanks for having us !!!

I had the best holiday so far.Emma and Deb is an excellent host.Great communication.Everything was so perfect.Nice and quiet place for relaxing with friends of family.Highly recommended.Defo will be back soon.

We has an absolutely fabulous time at Kieta and cannot recommend it highly enough. The photos do not exaggerate the beauty of the views nor the comfort and luxury of the house. The host was really responsive and lovely to deal with and the place was immaculate.

Annie was helpful at every point and really put the extra effort in to make us feel welcome. Can not recommend her higher. The house was amazing, better than described and a really wonderful experience. Would definately come back.

What a fantastic property, perched up in the hills in Byron's hinterland. Annie is an exceptional host, there were some initial difficulties with Air B n B admin systems but Annie worked hard to ensure that these were ironed out and kept me informed all the way through. The house is exceptionally well equipped and the set up for our trip was perfect. The pool is sensational and the fact you have uninterrupted views to Byron Bay and up the Northern coast of NSW makes it even more special. Federal is a small town but has plenty of character and it's a short drive to Mullem, Byron and Bangalow. That being said having a car is essential and you need to be organised about shopping for food if you're eating in! All in all this was an amazing trip and we'll definitely be back and also highly recommend Kieta.

Kieta is secluded and we'll equipped with everything you will need on your holiday. The views are beautiful, we left feeling very relaxed and can't wait to visit Kieta again.

Wow! What a spot. We were met by our host (who took the time to point out a koala and baby in a tree on the driveway) who gave us a wonderful tour of the home. The home is as described on the advert - a gorgeous holiday home. Perfect distance from Byron with views to die for. Extremely well-maintained and appointed home. I'll be back and I thoroughly recommend to you!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway in this lovely place, away from the crowds and nestled in the peaceful beauty of nature. We loved the design and decor theme in the cosy but spacious caravan (the air conditioning was definitely a hit!), the open air shower, and spending the night out under the stars with nothing but a little fire and the full moon for company :) Thank you for being such lovely, easygoing hosts and sharing your beautiful home with us!

Nice place to spend a night, in a rural setting

The host canceled this reservation 57 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Really beautifully renovated caravan with a great beach feel, very clean, outdoor area was amazing. Hosts were extremely pleasant, friendly and easy to communicate with. We will be back for sure!

We had a great stay at Ndoto. Kim and Chris were very welcoming to us and our Labrador who was able to come and go around the cottage as she pleased. We were met with fresh bread and coffee on the table and even some treats for the dog. Kim also offered to book in a massage with a local practitioner which happened to be only a few minutes down the road. Topped with a nice scenic drive to Byron Bay and in close proximity to Nightcap National Park & Crystal Castle, there's plenty on offer at Ndoto for a peaceful weekend away. Thanks Kim & Chris!

The cottage is such a lovely little haven to escape from everything! The animals are also a delight :) Thanks for such a welcoming stay!

Spent a lovely weekend at Ndoto with my husband and pug puppy. The cottage is well appointed and very warm. The kitchen is great and I recommend heading to the Bangalow Farmers Markets in the pub carpark (25 minute drive) every Saturday morning to pick up local produce to cook. Kim very kindly lent us a pot to cook up some lamb shanks but the kitchen has most utensils you will need for a short stay. There is a small doggy door as well as a baby gate over the stairs so you can keep your pooch outside sometimes and know they won't be able to get up to mischief. The hobby farm has some funny alpacas and a lot of unused (but steep) land that you can go rambling around in with your dog off leash. Our puppy ran around like a crazy thing sniffing everything. Kim can book you a massage with a local lady who was super cheap ($50) and was excellent.

Had a nice weekend stay at Ndoto. Highly recommend a weekend here to relax and recharge. Don't forget to look up at the sky at night the stars were magnificent!!

From the minute we turned onto Bates road and drove down to the Nodoto cottage we knew we had stepped into our own little paradise! It was everything & more that it looked in the pictures on the website! On arrival we felt so at home with the beautiful oil burner going... The flowers & fresh eggs & other goodies waiting for us was such a lovely surprise. The cottage meet our expectations in every way and there is nothing we would change about our experience only that we wish we had stayed longer! Thank you so much for your hospitality! We will definitely recommend this beautiful hidden cottage & we can't wait to come back! Kate & Brian

It was an amazing place to stay. I couldn't thank them enough for allowing us into their beautiful cabin. Myself, my partner and my dogs had a wonderful time. A special thanks to Chris for braving the cold and coming to let us know that his beautiful Lab girl was giving birth (as requested by me as I wanted to be there!) And inviting us into his home to share the amazing experience. That is just the type of host he is. It was truly wonderful and the highlight of my trip.

Gorgeous, secluded and relaxing place.

Ndoto was beautifully relaxing. The cottage is close to the main house of the property where Kim and her family live, but it's as private as you desire. You can hang out undisturbed or chat with the family (or the chooks, ducks, Alpacas, cows) depending on how you feel. We felt very looked after. Kim left bacon and eggs and muesli for us and refreshed the eggs every couple of days. the kitchen has pots and pans etc and we borrowed a couple of extra bits from the family. you need to take food there as it's not close to shops/cafes etc which is part of it's delight. The bath is lovey and every morning we would sit out on the deck and take in the world. We had an excellent stay and our daughter loved spending time with the two boys of the farm. It's a 30 minutes drive from Byron Bay but the road is lined with luscious trees.

It was clean, compfortable, homely an dteh pool was terrific. The heavy roadside traffic was intrusive. I think someone was concreting nearby as there were many trucks over the Easter break. It was lovely to retreat from the Easter crowds on the coast.

We enjoyed a wonderful mini-break at Callistemon View and only regret that it was not longer and the pool slightly warmer, as even though it was the middle of winter who could resist not swimming in such a magical pool. The home is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful sun filled holiday. The peace and tranquility wonderful and the early morning vistas over mist filled rolling hills to the coast are priceless. Perfect!

We visited sarahs place for a mini family get together, I was originally a little hesitant to stay so far away from byron bay but once we got to the house we did not really need to leave nor want for anything. The pool, table tennis and surrounding property provided plenty of opportunity for everyone to keep themselves entertained especially the four kids. I even discovered a nice little cafe just down the road for my morning coffee fix. If I had to nit pick the wireless is not the fastest but to be honest I was very happy that I had a great excuse to relax and not work. We also had a little bottleneck sharing only two bathrooms among 10 people but again not really a big deal. This home is a solid entertainer and everyone from age 5 to 85 had a great experience and we would definitely revisit this wonderful home.

The listing was exactly as described. The place was magnificent and with such a relaxing atmosphere

The house and the area that the house is in is fantastic, it is the perfect place to get away from the city and just unwind. I would stay at the house again in a heart beat. The house is just the right distance from Byron bay to be close to all the action but far enough to feel like you are really in the country.

We had a wonderful time at Julie's place. A Very peaceful and relaxing location. Julie was very accommodating and made us feel welcome in her home. We had a great time.

Julie's retreat in the mountains is a wonderful place to escape to. the cottage is spacious and full of light, the bed is like heaven and it's quiet and tranquil. it suited us, allowing us space to stretch out and relax after a hectic year and recharge before going back to work. the area doesn't have optus coverage but julie has wifi in the cottage so we could keep in touch with world if we wanted. Julie wasn't there when we arrived but left us a key and had pre-warned us that the shower wasn't working and it was fixed by the morning when we woke (and the shower is wonderful, looking out over the treetops). the pool has a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and in the afternoon it's wonderful to sit and listen to the chorus of crickets and cicadas by the pool watching the colours change as the sun sinks behind the trees. i would recommend staying here if you love the idea of a peaceful getaway that is tucked away in the hills. it's not too far from the beach and even closer to amazing national parks and waterfalls. such a beautiful and special part of the world, thank you Julie for opening your house and space up to us. i hope to come back soon and couldn't recommend this place more highly.

We were welcomed by the lovely host and shown to our residence when we arrived. Our little haven had everything we needed, inclusive of a mini equipped kitchen with outstanding views. Windows line the apartment set amongst the wilderness, which was wonderful for a breeze to pass through during the heated weather, we also had access to the pool which was wonderful for a cool down. The view from the bathroom was a real feast for the eyes, the view from every window in the property really. The quiet tranquil setting was just what we needed, not another soul to be seen. Our favourite aspect of the accommodation was having the opportunity to open a window and be calmed by the sounds of the animals in the forest, especially during dusk. It was absolutely brilliant. The apartment itself was extremely neat and tidy and an ample size for a couple, even a couple with a child (or three adults), since there is a very comfortable mattress located in the lounge room. We were welcomed to contact the hosts if we needed anything, however were left to enjoy our stay in peace and quiet which was lovely. The proximity to Byron Bay is quite close provided you have transportation (car) which I recommend organizing. We made it into town in approx. 25 minutes and it was a very easy and scenic drive. We would absolutely stay again, probably for a longer period next time!

The reservation was canceled 68 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We enjoyed a great weekend stay at Julie's place. We didn't get to meet Julie but her partner was helpful in making sure we settled in and had everything we needed. It was just lovely waking up to the bird sounds outside and enjoying our morning tea and coffee on the balcony overlooking the beautiful bushland. We enjoyed the tasty local muesli for breakky also. Be prepared for some little critters around (spiders, tics, saw a snake too).

Mark & Johnny were great hosts, making us feel welcome upon our arrival. Neat and cosy studio apartment in the quaint little village of Federal. Absolutely perfect for us and our 2 dogs. Highly recommended!

Mark was an excellent host, we had absolutely everything we needed and with the added bonus of hanging out with their beautiful dog, Olive! The space was lovely and the location definitely ideal for access to the church and cafe.

The neighborhood was lovely and overall, our experience was a lovely one. The accommodation is relatively basic but covers all essential needs and is good value for money.

The studio was a great cosy space away from the business of Byron Bay. It was exactly as described. It was great to have a fenced backyard where we could leave our dog with plenty of space to run around if we wanted to head out on our own. Mark was very friendly and accommodating

Mark and his partner (who's name escapes me) we're great. Perfect communication and they had the place set and ready for us at short notice. Would definitely recommend his place.

Mark and Jonny were welcoming without being intrusive. Great to meet people with shared values. Our 2 Jack Russells agreed. Also very good local catering advice, which is pretty easy given the local quality. A nice home visit for me as I spent my first 21 years there. The accommodation itself is perfect, and the wifi ain't bad.

Mark was a wonderful host. The place was clean and inviting and exactly as pictured. Response time to queries was great from very relaxed and accommodating hosts. Don't miss out on visiting the fabulous Doma cafe in Federal, which is a short stroll away. A lovely, quiet, secluded location, friendly pets and charming in every way.

Mark and Jonny were very friendly hosts! they're very knowledgeable about the local area and will offer you plenty of guidance. They make you feel very welcome on the property for the duration of your stay. The studio is quite spacious. It is very eco friendly with a gas hot water system, gas stove and self composting toilet. The views from the windows are beautiful. It's very private in a rainforest setting. It's also very quiet at night. It is very pet friendly, with not many stairs, hard floors and a well fenced yard for a dog. Jess loved exploring around in the gardens!. If you're after a little companionship, Olive (the resident Staffy) will meet you with a tail wag and a cuddle. Location wise, the cabin is very well situated. It's quite close to Minyon Falls (about a 15 min drive) and is also an easy drive from Bangalow, Byron, Ballina and Lennox head. It was a very affordable option for my long 1.5 week stay. I was very comfortable during my time in the studio, and it was easy to stay in for that length of time. I'll be back to visit again!. I give it five stars and Jess gives it five paws!.
