Nestled amongst native gardens in the Byron hinterland. A sunfilled one bedroom private cottage amongst native gardens and abundant birdlife. Wake up to the sound of birds and see the occaisional wallaby or koala. The cottage is on a section of a small acreage in the village of Federal in the Byron hinterland. It is private from the main residence and is 60m2 plus verandah. The cottage has a full kitchen and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, washing machine, walk in shower and comfortable queen sized bed, There is a verandah that looks out over the valley with glimpses of the ocean and the swoops of the Byron Bay lighthouse at night. It's a short distance from the quaint Federal villiage where you will find the popular Doma Cafe and Moonshine Coffee. The cottage is suitable for couples with all the amenities for a short getaway, romantic weekend or a longer stay to explore this beautiful area. It's quiet, private and comfortable. We are located in the beautiful Byron Hinterland. Although a world away from the hustle and bustle of Byron, all amenities are in easy reach. It is recomended that you have your own vehicle as Ubers and taxis dont reliably service the hinterland.
