Peaceful Hinterland Hideaway- 5 * Location! Quick links to Lennox & Byron.

Boasting panoramic Ocean views stretching out towards spectacular Seven Mile Beach, Hinterland Hideaway is the perfect Byron/Lennox escape. At our tranquil cottage, the only sounds you'll hear is the birds & yet it's only 1 min's drive to the highway. Giving you the best of both worlds. PETS WELCOME-Fully Fenced

Beautiful Lennox Head beach and foodie hotspots Newrybar and Bangalow are also right on the doorstep - under 10 minutes drive away. Ballina Airport - 10min drive & Byron Bay only 15mins.


Beautifully restored in 2023, this charming 2-bedroom Bungalow was designed to make the most of the beautiful natural surroundings. Flooded with golden light, the indoor living space effortlessly flows outside, onto a gorgeous covered verandah with plenty of space to sit back, relax and soak up the stunning views.

The incredible ocean views continue in the master bedroom, which also boasts a comfy brand new queen-size bed and a walk-in wardrobe with plenty of storage space.
There is also ample room for a travel cot if required and we do provide a high chair for your young ones.
The second bedroom comes complete with a brand new double bed and lots of additional storage space.
The bathroom features a shower over the bathtub, while there is also a separate toilet across the hall.

The newly fitted kitchen is fully equipped so you can cook up a storm, but if you prefer to cook and dine outside, you have a fabulous brand new Weber BBQ to use.

While the interiors are lovely, the exterior is what makes Hinterland Hideaway so very special. Fall asleep to the gentle sound of the waves and wake up to a breathtaking ocean sunrise. Here you can completely unwind and recharge in the heart of nature, forgetting about the rest of the world and simply focusing on the beauty all around you.

This place suits a maximum of 4 guests. Please note other features ...
Plenty of private free parking for up to 3 cars
Fast WIFI
Smart TV

You truly couldn't be in a better position for exploring Byron and beyond, delights. Direct quick access to the highway but without compromising on peace and quiet.

THINGS TO NOTE
Please note the property runs off tank water but this is fitted with a brand new whole unit filter so is very safe to drink.

NEIGHBOURHOOD
Life can be busy and often the weeks slip by much faster than I would like to admit. I once read 'A Sunday well spent leads to a week of content' and while it sounds a little cliche I can't help but agree. Sundays are an opportunity to relax and recharge and while I may be bias, I really can’t think of a better place to do this than in the small, coastal town of Lennox Head. Whether you are visiting for the weekend or a long time local, I have put together some of my favourite Sunday activities with a slower pace in mind.

Take the scenic route for your morning coffee run

The main street of Lennox runs alongside the beautiful Seven Mile Beach. Take the time to walk through the town before grabbing a coffee from one of the amazing cafes on offer then continue along the coastal path towards Lake Ainsworth. Head down to the beach and pick a spot to enjoy your coffee. Take in the serenity and appreciate a few quiet moments to yourself. If you are feeling up to it continue your walk along the beach and jump in for a quick dip, I promise you will feel amazing afterwards!

An An easy stroll from the village and beach, Lake Ainsworth is a stunning lake that is lined with tea trees in striking contrast to the white sandy Seven Mile Beach. It’s an idyllic spot for fishing enthusiasts, kayaking, canoeing, picnics and barbecues.

Lovely View

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful setting. The house was exactly as described. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening after our busy days on the beaches. Access to Byron Bay, Lennox Head and Brunswick Heads was excellent. Great restaurants, beaches and shops in the area!

Gorgeous hinterland hideaway

A perfect stay for our family in this divine cottage with spectacular view. A short drive to Lennox and Byron. Clean and comfortable with all the essentials and a fabulous relaxing space on the balcony to enjoy a BBQ with the family. Pet friendly a huge drawcard. Close to the highway which was convenient but very quiet.

Great Escape!

Absolutely great spot! Wonderful views and great little bungalow. Great place to relax. Really enjoyed Lennox Heads and taking our Doggo to the local dog beach. Well placed to set off and explore the local towns. Being an apartment dog, our British bulldog loved the large balcony and zoomies around the house!!

Escape from the city!

Peace and quiet at it's best with a magnificent view! I loved my morning coffee out on the deck each morning as I soaked up the landscape. The beds were perfect and the description of the property was accurate so no disappointments. Overall, a great place to stay for a 1 week holiday outside of Byron Bay and a convenient location for exploring other areas nearby Byron Bay. Dog friendly too!

Beautiful property with incredible views!

We had the most wonderful 10 days in this gorgeous property! We are already planning to come back! Perfect and comfortable for the four of us - my husband and I and our 7yr old daughter and my mum! The views are amazing - so wonderful seeing the sunrise from bed every morning. The place was very clean and tidy, beautifully styled with comfortable furniture - easy access to everywhere we needed to get to, close to the highway but very secluded and quiet. Thank you to the property manager who was very responsive and left us a bottle of wine! Really hope we can come back soon!

Views forever!

The view from the deck is simply fabulous and a great place to sit and sip with a few biscuits and cheese! The cottage is really well set up with everything we needed. The welcoming jar of chocolates and a bottle of wine was a nice touch! The grass was very long for our small dog but she still found an avocado 🥑 that had fallen from the tree to present to us ( make that 5 which she left at the door). Overall a majic place to visit and unwind. The local country store is worth a visit.

The view saved the day

The property was generally in an unkept condition. Cleaning was passable really needed some TLC inside. Very poorly maintained outside we were not able to access the garden area. Mowing had not been done for at least a few weeks. Very overgrown.

Costal hideaway

Tidy little cottage set back from the ocean with uninterrupted views of green pastures and ocean. Modern stylish furnishings and new appliances make for a comfortable and convenient stay. The cottage is in a clean, tidy and original condition that has been freshened up and well looked after. The yard and deck is secure for pets and our Labrador had a dry place to stay on the large deck while we were out. Photos of the property are a true indication of what’s on offer. Yes the view is really that good! The property is very quiet for it’s close proximity to the highway. We loved nearby Newrybar and Lennox Heads for coffees, breakfast and dinners. Lennox has a great dog beach which was a bonus! Byron and Ballina are super close by also. The owner Jenny was absolutely amazing and very good at communicating throughout the whole process. We look forward to staying again!

No Air Conditioning

The view at this property is amazing, and beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately there is no air conditioning in any room, which we considered for the incredibly high price we paid per night, should definitely have been included. When the breeze blew up it was lovely however that was only in the late afternoon, the mornings were ridiculously hot to the point we had to leave and go somewhere cooler until the afternoon, which was disappointing when we just wanted a holiday away from everything. You just start to enjoy the patio in the afternoon when the sun goes down and the mosquitoes just about carry you away, we couldn’t sit on the patio at all at night, let alone cook a bbq out there. I would not return to this property nor would I recommend it.

Mixed feelings

The property was very beautiful and you wake up to birds chirping every morning and an amazing uninterrupted view. You cannot hear the highway at all. The house was smaller than expected / shown in the listing. I would call it more of a cottage Downsides are that the main bedroom has sheer curtains so you get a lot of light in the morning. If you’re someone that needs a dark room it won’t suit at all. The 2nd bedroom (behind the lounge/couch) has block out curtains but the doors don’t close completely and leaves a large gap that lets in light and people can see in. The doonas also don’t have a case on them, just 2 sheets wrapped around them. The property is fun for dogs but unfortunately there’s avocado trees which can carry a bacteria that can cause serious illness. Other than that my kelpie and boarder collie had fun running around and exploring with no worry of them escaping. I had minor issues with the host but they were resolved eventually.

Absolutely loved this little place. It’s beyond what we thought it was going to be. Magical views, Our dog was able to roam the yard care free thanks to the secure fences, and above all the place was so accomodating for everything else we needed with all the fine touches making it so homely. Will definitely be coming back here asap our pup loved it just as much as we did
