Peaceful retreat with panoramic hinterland views, 20 mins to Byron beaches

The Sculpture Studio is located on 3 acres of subtropical gardens with panoramic views across to Mt Chincogan.

Explore the gardens and pick organic limes, lemons or herbs and fire up the poolside wood fired bbq (fire pit in Winter) for sunset alfresco dining. Or cool off in the resort style, 14 metre saltwater pool. Warm in Summer and cold bathing in Winter!

With no light pollution or street lights, on a clear night you can gaze up to a sky sprinkled with stars.

The Sculpture Studio is a detached, self-contained house and is about 40 metres away from the main house, where we live. The pool is in front of the main house but when we have guests, we generally don't use it.

We have a half wolfhound who is super friendly. He's out and about during the day and will say hello. If you're not keen on dogs you might prefer staying elsewhere.

•10 minutes away from Mullumbimby, a sleepy town with a couple of surprises such as a Russian bathhouse (Banya) and a wine bar - Mullum Continental - that's straight out of a Melbourne laneway.
•20 minutes away from Brunswick Heads where you can hire paddle boards or kayaks and explore Simpsons Creek and stop for a bite to eat afterwards at Bruns pub.
•30 minutes away from secret waterfalls, swimming holes and rainforest bathing
