Top choice in Byron Bay & Northern NSW
Gaze at Cape Byron and the Pacific Ocean over the hinterland from one of three individual and specifically designed boltholes set high up above Mullumbimby. The Magnesium mineral swimming pool and communal area share the same awe-inspiring vista. Timber features were salvaged from the site's former life as a banana farm. There's no wi-fi, deliberately.
Adults only.
