The Riad - Moroccan style Byron hinterland villa

The Riad is a spacious but intimately warm home. The kitchen is large, well appointed and inviting. A picture window takes the easterly fields below and the immigrant creek lake. There are three over-sized bedrooms in the main house as well as a fourth cinema room with large day bed that can accommodate further guests. There is a large central living area with towering ceilings and fire place. All lead to a walled landscaped garden and pool area with an enormous Balinese Pavilion. Adjacent to the pool area is a wonderful large covered outdoor dining room with BBQ facilities. Further outdoor entertaining areas overlook the northerly and easterly aspects of the property and offer secluded and totally private space. There is an additional 2 bedroom cottage with kitchen, lounge and a further bathroom which sleeps an additional 4 guests. Adjacent to the cottage is a large gymnasium.

The grounds of the property are totally private and equally as magical as the home itself. Be whisked away to a world where stone-walled paddocks and a historic farm barn share space with East Asian shrines and contemporary sculptures. The extensive grounds include an orchard as well as a fragrant herb garden adjacent to the kitchen. There is wheelchair access and undercover parking for 3 cars. A circular driveway provides additional parking, perfect for large events.

The historic towns of Bangalow and Newrybar are a 5 minutes drive away where food lovers can enjoy hatted restaurants and local favourites including the renowned Harvest Café. The world famous Gaia Retreat is also a mere 5 minutes away.
