Byron Bay Hinterland Retreat

Moffatts Place

of Billinudgel

A fully renovated dairy worker's cottage, nestled amongst the trees in the Byron hinterland. The dairy is long gone, but the tranquillity remains. Slow mornings on the verandah, starry nights by the fire pit, and the beach just eight minutes down the road.

The Home

A hinterland home
with soul

This isn't just a place to stay. It's a place to arrive, exhale, and remember what unhurried feels like.

Moffatts Place began life as a worker's cottage on one of Billinudgel's original dairy farms. Today it's been lovingly and fully renovated, tucked amongst the trees at the end of a quiet country road, with nothing but birdsong for company. The gardens are abundant with bromeliads and flowers, with a few veggies thrown in as well.

Gather friends around the fire pit under a sky full of stars, cook up a long lunch on the BBQ, or cool off in the plunge pool and let the afternoon drift by on the deck.

Three queen bedrooms sleep up to six, with open-plan living that flows straight out onto the timber deck. It's a grown-up kind of place, perfect for couples and friends getting away together, though children are always welcome.

The Village

Billinudgel — Byron's
best-kept secret

A tiny village with a big personality. Billinudgel is the kind of place where vintage treasures sit next to proper coffee, the pub feels like your local from the first visit, and the monthly markets feel like a gathering of old friends.

This isn't a tourist town — and that's exactly its appeal. It's real, unhurried, and quietly brilliant. The kind of place you stumble upon and never want to leave.

  • New Brighton Markets every Tuesday morning (8 min)
