About this property
The Cottage at Windaboo- Byron Hinterland Retreat
Modern inside with a mix of polished timber floors and polished concrete the open plan kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and stone benchtops as well as a breakfast area. The kitchen flows to 2 separate verandahs as well as into the dining area which flows on to the living area. One of the verandahs accommodates outdoor dining and resembles a garden room. The other verandah is L-shaped and provides alternate access to both bedrooms. The main bedroom has a king sized bed, the second bedroom has a queen sized bed. Both bedrooms have views across the lawn to the palm grove and are separated by an entrance hall giving privacy to both. There are also blanket/ luggage storage trunks and two bath robes per bedroom are provided for your use and comfort during your stay. Additional overnight accommodation in the form of a double sized sofa bed is also available in the living room.
There is also heating available for the cooler months.
The bathroom is equipped with a separate shower and the bath is set into a bay window.
The cottage is eclectic and whimsical in its' styling with a mix of antique and bespoke pieces and artwork. It is a home away from home and even your hosts have holidayed there a few times for a change of pace and returned to "the real world" thoroughly rejuvenated.
Wi-fi access (even in the gardens), Netflix, board games and lawn games, an array of cook books, books on interior design amongst others are also available for use on those rainy or beautiful Northern Rivers days.

About the host
Your host

Ex city slicker with a background in property marketing & developing who ran for the hills and is winging it in the country after being hit with the breast cancer stick... along the way, I have adopted some rescue critters (horses, goats, bulls and chooks) and am trying my hand at rainforest regen, koala and native animal habitat restoration & organic farming..
Taking on the role of head guardian of Windaboo is by far the best decision I have ever made. I adore hosting people who see & feel the magic and healing qualities of this incredible property, it’s fauna & flora.
I love good food, good grog, a good laugh, koala spotting, the good life with my beloved Windaboo & crew & generally running amok, making the absolute best of every day...
