An amazing property, with a high design vibe, beautifully curated spaces and fabulous staff.
Pros:

The design of this property is fabulous. The rooms are amazing. We stayed in one of the pool suits which we absolutely loved. The rooms were spacious and so well designed. Bed and bedding were so luxurious and incredibly comfortable.
You still have privacy in the shared outdoor pool space which was very cleverly designed. Outdoor sun beds very comfortable. The views on this property were incredible. Very special environment with a huge morton bay fig tree, rolling green hills. We absolutely loved the outdoor timber sauna with a huge window looking out into rolling hills. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating. Only a few minutes drive to Bangalow where there is arguably the best restaurant in Byron ‘Ciao Mate’.

Cons:

To take it up a notch even further, the food offerings could be improved. I think they’ll get there are they are in a growth phase still.

Overall, the whole place felt earthy, luxe, intentional and spacious like you’re stepping into a ranch retreat rather th
Pros:

the warmth and genuine friendliness of every single staff member
• the morning ritual sauna + ice bath + sitting by the pond it felt grounding and peaceful
• the pool on the ridgeline looking out across the property such a stunning moment to just be
• the breakfast was perfect especially the bacon
• the bed that felt like a big cosy hug
• how each room has its own name that detail made it feel personal and curated, not just “another room”

Absolutley loved everything about this stay! Cant wait to stay again.
Pros:

Stunning location! Beautifully furnished and designed. Comfortable beds. Paradise in the hills.

Cons:

The walk to the pool was a bit of a mission haha down one big hill up another. By the time we walked back we were hot again but first world problem!

Quirky luxe country stay
Pros:

Staff were lovely, attentive, and without fail always trying to help, no matter the request. Super friendly.
The breakfast was beautifully fresh.
The infinity edge pool was stunning, and the wood fired sauna was lots of fun.

Cons:

There was a gorgeous pot belly stove in our barn, unfortunately only one lounge chair to enjoy it! The room needed a couch or some more furniture. It also lacked storage space for clothes. When it rains the deck area of the room was unusable - everything gets wet.

Absolutely idyllic conditions. Lovely staff amazing location and a completely relaxational unwinding feel to it. Architecturally taken into the middle of a californian ranch. Beautiful bright vibrant colours etc.

Cons:
