Jungleland

Welcome to Jungleland, your private tropical escape only minutes from the centre of Byron Bay.

Beckoning from the tree-lined street, the stunning wooden heritage house is the centrepiece of Jungleland. Exterior features include gabled rooflines, exquisite hand-finished woodwork and a latticed wrap-around front veranda. The interior has been meticulously maintained and tastefully decorated in an eclectic mixture of period style and modern casual “Hamptons” chic.  With glass windows, wooden floors, cast iron tiled fireplaces, elaborate high ceilings and decorated cornices, this elegant home will be sure to entice.   

A separate garden studio on the property is located just across the back deck and accommodates 4 people with 2 bathrooms.  Just next door is the property’s piece de resistance: a stand-alone spa pavilion! This Balinese inspired pavilion has been designed as the perfect haven to wash all your cares away. Surrounded by lush tropical foliage it is here that you will unwind and relax at the end of a long day exploring the beautiful beaches and hinterland surrounds of Byron.

Located in a quiet, established street in Byron Bay, Jungleland is perfectly positioned, far enough away to enjoy pure serenity yet only walking distance from everywhere!
