About this property

Collett Cottage - Byron Hinterland Rural Retreat

Gorgeous guest cottage on a 100 acre gum plantation, just 0.8kms from Federal Village.

Includes everything you need for a comfortable stay. Features WiFi, Foxtel, split-system air conditioning, combustion stove, polished floorboards and carpeted bedrooms.

The lovely alfresco deck with gas BBQ and fairy lights is the perfect spot for afternoon drinks and an evening meal under the stars.

Open plan living and dining. 1.5 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms with TV's.

Access to 100 acres of walking tracks, spring fed creek + waterhole for swimming. We provide a map to the fire trails and key spots for exploring. Please wear good shoes when walking the forest, and bring along reef shoes for swimming as it's a rocky bed.

[Please no jumping or diving at the waterhole as it is uneven under the surface. Strictly no smoking in the forest.]

Truly your home away from home!

We will greet our guests on arrival, and are only the next house over if they need anything throughout their stay, and are available by email or phone.

The Byron Hinterland is truly an amazing place, we especially love Doma Cafe in Federal Village, the boutique village of Bangalow is only 15 minutes away, and of course the amazing beaches of Byron Bay are just 25 minutes down the road.

*** STRICTLY NO EXTRA GUESTS ***

The home sleeps 6 comfortably, but please don't ask us on arrival if it's OK for extra guests to stay.
