Hi, I'm Annie. This farm land has been a part of my family for over 30 years, and it's been a true labor of love for my parents who have transformed 30 acres of farmland into a beautiful rainforest to restore the natural wildlife on the property. We've recently built some amazing villas on the property, and I help manage them. There's nothing quite like watching the sunset over the hills in the evening from Carinya - it's truly my happy place. I can't wait to share this little slice of paradise with you and make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.

Carinya, where luxury meets tranquility in the heart of the breathtaking Byron Bay hinterland. Our two-bedroom villas are designed to offer a one-of-a-kind holiday experience. Our villas feature everything you need to make your stay unforgettable, including a complete kitchen, open plan living and dining areas, outdoor shower, and a private balcony with stunning views of the hinterland. Wake up to the sound of nature and enjoy the perfect balance between rural tranquility and coastal town life. Located in the breathtaking Arakwal country, our villas are just a short 10-minute drive from the bustling town of Byron Bay and its pristine beaches, and only 5 minutes away from the picturesque historic town of Bangalow. Whether you’re looking to hunker down, or explore everything the local area has to offer, each villa has been built with ultimate convenience and luxury in mind. Every private villa features two bedrooms, a complete kitchen, private outdoor shower, gas cooking, and a coffee machine, plus a welcome gift on arrival, making Carinya your perfect home away from home. Our six villas have been thoughtfully designed and built to be environmentally sustainable. We are completely off-grid, with solar-generated electricity providing power to the villas. All of our water is sourced from rainwater harvesting, allowing us to reduce our reliance on local water sources and conserve water. We also bulk buy products and use refillable pump bottles for our bathroom amenities to minimise waste. Our property has gone through over two decades of rainforest regeneration, resulting in over 30 acres of rainforest thriving on our property, making it the perfect habitat for native animals such as wallabies, echidnas, owls, honey eaters, and black cockatoos. Looking to experience your own slice of luxury in the Byron Bay Hinterland? Get in touch and we'd love to chat about any questions you might have. We are located on a rural property and have plenty of wildlife around.

Our peaceful villas are located in Talofa, in the hills between Byron Bay and Bangalow. We are approximately 10 minutes drive to Byron Bay’s iconic beaches, cafes and restaurants. Just 5 minutes drive away, you’ll find Bangalow, a picturesque historic town with a range of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants.
