Native gardens. Byron hinterland. Abundant wildlife. A sunfilled one bedroom private cottage amongst native gardens and abundant wildlife. Wake up to the sound of black cockatoos and watch the wallabies nearby and maybe spot a koala in the nearby eucalyts or echidna scratching around the gardens. The cottage is on a small acreage in the village of Federal in the Byron hinterland. It is private from the main residence and is 60m2 plus deck. The cottage has a full kitchen and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, washing machine, walk in shower and comfortable queen sized bed, There is a deck that looks out over the valley with glimpses of the ocean and the swoops of the Byron Bay lighthouse at night. It's a short distance from the quaint Federal villiage where you will find the popular Doma Cafe and Moonshine Coffee. The cottage is suitable for couples with all the amenities for a short getaway, romantic weekend or a longer stay to explore this beautiful area. It's quiet, private and comfortable. A short drive to Byron Bay (25 minutes), Minyon Falls (20 minutes), Goonengerry National Park in the Nightcap Ranges, Mullumbimby, Bangalow and Brunswick Heads.
