Escape to your own private sanctuary on 102 private acres in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
Heartwood Farm is a luxury farm stay featuring a heated magnesium plunge pool, private river frontage, clawfoot bath, outdoor fire pit with unlimited complimentary firewood and breathtaking rural views.
Set on a historic cattle property established in the early 1900s, the cottage sits on its own ridgeline surrounded by rolling green hills, open skies and grazing cattle. Offering complete privacy, it feels a world away while being just 4 minutes from Federal village and 25 minutes from Byron Bay.
Guests have exclusive access to 102 acres of rolling countryside, private river frontage and some of the most beautiful views in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
Heartwood Farm has become known as a place of rest, renewal and reconnection. Many guests tell us they arrive feeling busy and leave feeling completely restored.
THE EXPERIENCE
Wake to birdsong and morning mist drifting across the valley.
Spend your days swimming in the Wilson River, reading on the verandah, soaking in the heated magnesium plunge pool, enjoying long baths in the clawfoot tub, exploring the property or simply doing absolutely nothing at all.
As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit with a glass of wine and unlimited complimentary firewood while the stars emerge above the hinterland.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, reconnecting with loved ones, seeking a romantic escape or simply needing time to slow down, Heartwood Farm provides the space to breathe, rest and reconnect.
