Okay, seriously? Best. Airbnb. EVER! This place is off the charts. We were looking for somewhere in/near Byron Bay and stumbled on this. It's a huge classic Queenslander manor house, and you have the whole downstairs to yourselves. A TON of stylish, sparkling clean space. And Andrew and Kathryn are upstairs, super gracious, to handle any worries and take care of anything that comes up. Best of all, you are on 50 acres of the most beautiful hinterland, including a large pond that has several platypus swimming around at most hours of the day. The charming little town of Federal is 2 minutes up the road for fresh roasted coffee, groceries and the famous Doma Cafe. Do yourself a favor — skip the crowds and expense of Byron and stay 20 minutes away amidst all this beauty.
