Kyvale Cottage - Country retreat

Spacious 2 bedroom country cottage set in 5 acres of open horse paddocks with views across the valley to the spectacular ridges behind.
A Byron Bay Hinterland get away for couples seeking peace and serenity, but still close to the cafes and restaurants of Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby, and the beaches of South Golden and New Brighton.

Relax on the deck and experience the beauty of the late afternoon light, while cooking some of the amazing local produce on the BBQ or just relax with a beverage around the firepit.
Your stay includes a welcoming committee including Bradley and Darcy our very friendly dogs and Tess, Karisma, Demi and Symbar our horses.

Everything you need within the cottage is provided, modern kitchen, TV, Wifi, books an board games, air conditioning and heaters for those cool nights.

The cottage is attached to the main house by a breezeway which is screened for privacy.

Situated only 30 minutes from Ballina or the Gold Coast airports, we are ideally situated for that well deserved short weekend getaway or long break

Sorry, cottage is not suitable for children under 4 years.

No pets allowed.

Cottage with a View

My daughters and I enjoyed the peaceful setting with the added bonus of horses, and friendly dogs to pat. Everything was provided with comfy beds, modern kitchen and large bathroom with a lovely shower. It was very handy being close to Mullum and Brunswick Heads, as well as many bushwalks. Robin is very accommodating and kind.

Thoroughly recommended

We were looking for somewhere to stay near Mullumbimby and found Robin's wonderful place. It's not much to look at from the outside but it is a very well appointed cottage with everything you could wish for. Clean and modern. Robin is a super host and the location is terrific, if slightly distanced from amenities. Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely amazing

This cottage was absolutely perfect. It had everything we needed for a two week long stay in the area. It was quiet, tranquil and Robin is the most excellent host. The check in process was so easy and she was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we had leading up to booking and our arrival date. Throughout our stay Robin was so helpful, respectful and thoughtful and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly highly recommend this place.

Wonderful Weekend Away

Cottage was lovely with a homely feel. Property was clean and had everything we needed including books and jig saw puzzles for the rainy weather we encountered. Sadly we didn't get to enjoy the fire pit due to the rain. But will happily head back for another weekend away to get the full experience. Also loved meeting Brad and Darcy. Robin is a wonderful, friendly host and nothing is too much trouble for her. Loved the little personal touches like the jam, milk, slices of raison toast we found waiting for us to make us feel welcome. Fully enjoyed our stay, definitely recommend this property.
