About this property

Kyvale Cottage - Country retreat

Spacious 2 bedroom country cottage set in 5 acres of open horse paddocks with views across the valley to the spectacular ridges behind.
A Byron Bay Hinterland get away for couples seeking peace and serenity, but still close to the cafes and restaurants of Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby, and the beaches of South Golden and New Brighton.

Relax on the deck and experience the beauty of the late afternoon light, while cooking some of the amazing local produce on the BBQ or just relax with a beverage around the firepit.
Your stay includes a welcoming committee including Bradley and Darcy our very friendly dogs and Tess, Karisma, Demi and Symbar our horses.

Everything you need within the cottage is provided, modern kitchen, TV, Wifi, books an board games, air conditioning and heaters for those cool nights.

The cottage is attached to the main house by a breezeway which is screened for privacy.

Situated only 30 minutes from Ballina or the Gold Coast airports, we are ideally situated for that well deserved short weekend getaway or long break

Great for a short escape.

Property was perfect for our family to escape the rat race for a couple of days. Location was nice and secluded but still convenient for exploring the local area.

Cottage with a View

My daughters and I enjoyed the peaceful setting with the added bonus of horses, and friendly dogs to pat. Everything was provided with comfy beds, modern kitchen and large bathroom with a lovely shower. It was very handy being close to Mullum and Brunswick Heads, as well as many bushwalks. Robin is very accommodating and kind.
