About this property

Heartwood Farm | Byron Bay | Luxury Farm Stay

“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.

Byron Bay Hinterland Farm Stay

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 and heated plunge pool overlooking the Byron Bay Hinterland. There is ample parking, including areas for those towing a boat or caravan.

The Location

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.

Guest access

Meander down the long driveway past the old piggery and dairy to your piece of paradise. Feel free to respectfully use the space around the cottage, it’s the perfect place to wade in the water, enjoy a relaxing picnic or a sunset wine.

Stunning

Stayed here for a long weekend with my partner for our baby moon. The place is absolutely stunning. So peaceful and away from it all while still being close enough to everything so that we could enjoy eating out browsing some shops and some weekend markets. I can’t wait to come back and stay again

The Most Idyllic Getaway

We had the best stay at Heartwood Farm!If you are looking to getaway from it all, Heartwood Farm delivers that in abundance. The serenity, peace and misty morning views from the terrace over a morning coffee really hit the spot. The styling in the cottage is exquisite and with so many little details though out, including a picnic blanket to take down to the river, lawn games and marshmallows to roast over the fire pit.Nicole and Craig are excellent hosts and went above and beyond whilst we were there, quickly changing over the gas when it ran out, quickly providing supplies of wine and the best chilli margaritas when we ran low. Even though you are in the heart of the countryside you have Federal on your doorstep and Bangalow and Byron within an easy drive. Though we didn't really want to leave as we had everything we needed at the farm.I highly recommend booking Heartwood Farm and can't wait to return.
