Set atop the lush, green hills of Byron Hinterland, the Honey Barn is a 1940’s renovated sanctuary with each piece holding a story to tell.… Inspired by Wabi Sabi philosophy, our cottage offers a unique blend of simplicity, rustic elegance and celebrates the beauty of Byron's land.
Ideal for romantic getaways or solo escapes, you’ll find space to unwind and immerse yourself in the true essence of Byron.

Located 20 min from Byron Bay, 10 min from Bangalow, 30 min from Ballina Airport.

The space
Throughout the Honey Barn you’ll find a soulful blend of elements of Bundjalung country. From a 150 year old barn door, reclaimed wooden furniture to wash basin and dinnerware handcrafted from local clay. As well as organic mineral paint walls, art, ceramics and homewares with earthy tones and textures that resonate with the raw energy of nature and the distinctive beauty of Wabi Sabi concept.
The kitchen is stocked with local essentials for cooking, including cold pressed olive oil, herbs, citruses from the garden or fruits, fresh coffee beans from byron roaster and a range of medicinal adaptogenic herbal teas from our not-for-profit range, TeaGood.

The Honey Barn has a charming deck with calming views of the hinterland, an outdoor bathtub to relax and feel closer to nature, and a BBQ for delightful alfresco dining.


LOCATION
The Honey Barn is positioned a short drive from Clunes General Store where you’ll find locally sourced organic produce and a beautiful little cafe open 7 days, perfect for a coffee or bite with friendly locals or fresh ingredients to prepare at home. A short 10 minute drive from Bangalow, filled with food, fashion, art and homewares, 20 minutes from Byron Bay town, 30 min from Ballina Airport, 50 min from Gold Coast Airport. The best of the hinterland is on your doorstep in any direction with stunning natural beaches and waterfalls, shops for clothing and food, healing and health facilities, and renowned fine dining locations for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Guest access
During your stay you’ll enjoy exclusive entry to the Honey Barn, separate from the main house where your hosts live. Ample parking is available right outside your door. The property is shared among The Nest, our second listing, and our House. While all located on 1 hectare land, each maintains its own privacy and natural aspect with curated gardens and tree-lines to enhance your individual slice of paradise.

Other things to note
Our commitment to sustainability is paramount. Rainwater harvesting, coupled with a state-of-the-art water filtration system, ensures responsible water use. We have solar panels in place to harness the natural energy available to the beautiful countryside and compost toilets to contribute to a greener environment. On-site you’ll find a range of bins for responsible handling of rubbish and recycling.

Additional note regarding the compost toilet: It is located inside the bathroom and looks just like a standard household toilet. The only difference is that it doesn’t use water, instead, it uses wood chips as part of its composting system. It is completely odourless and functions just like a regular toilet.

No events permitted including Hens/bucks events, engagements or weddings.
Intimate events, photo/video shoots may be arranged by contacting the Host (T&Cs apply).
