Paddock Hall was a great little getaway in the Byron hinterland. It feels quite remote but is a short drive to all conveniences. We absolutely loved hanging out on the deck with the two cheeky and entertaining baby goats, Harper the adult goat, the adorable chooks and Len the dog as well! The fireplace was a great feature and we appreciated the really good kindling and wood supplied to light it. The bed was also fantastic and comfortable for sleeping. Hannah and her family were great at making us feel at home, and it was great to roam the property, smell the perfumed springtime air, and explore the macadamia, banana and citrus groves.
A few things to note:
- while it feels a long way from civilisation, you will hear the traffic on the M1 motorway at night time. It’s a steady hum in the distance so we didn’t find it disturbing, but it was a surprise to hear it so clearly.
- there’s no door separating the bathroom/toilet from the rest of the cabin, so be mindful if you’re not that close with your travelling companion!
- breakfast wasn’t offered during our stay due to COVID-19 concerns.
Thanks Hannah and family for letting us enjoy a slice of your paradise!
