What You’ll Love…
The Accommodation — A luxurious sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery
During an easy 30-minute drive from Gold Coast Airport to the heart of Byron Bay’s hinterland, you will feel like you’re winding through Bali’s spiritual heartland of Ubud, as you pass lush rainforest and verdant natural scenery. The feeling only intensifies as you arrive at Sanctuary in the Pocket’s Bliss Cottage.
Discover a private haven of luscious wooden accents with an open-air bathroom and stone bathtub, a wood fireplace taking pride of place, bi-fold doors opening onto the exotic surrounds, a thatched-roof gazebo and a garden that’s beautifully lit at night for the ultimate ambient Instagram snap.
Outside of Sanctuary in the Pocket, discover Byron Bay’s bounty of national parks, farmer’s markets and trendy foodie destinations, with laidback Mullumbimby 10 minutes north and Bryon’s quiet little sibling, Brunswick Heads, 10 minutes west, offering a fine selection of cafes and restaurants.
Your Cottage — Stylish Balinese-inspired cottage with a private pool and spa
Forget the quintessential beachy, coastal decor of traditional Byron retreats. The indulgent Bliss Cottage heightens relaxation with Balinese accents throughout — no need to board a plane. Meander through this open-plan space featuring two bedrooms for up to four, with a king-sized bed and two singles and a private pool and spa. Unwind with a glass of vino on your private deck, overlooking lily ponds complete and delicate pads floating gently on the surface.
There’s almost no need to leave this quiet retreat with a modern, well-equipped kitchen at the heart of the cottage, a Nespresso coffee machine, complimentary in-room movies and a crackling log fire to curl up in front of on cooler evenings.
