What You’ll Love…

The Accommodation – A luxurious sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery During an easy 30-minute drive from Gold Coast Airport to the heart of Byron Bay's hinterland, you will feel like you’re winding through Bali’s spiritual heartland of Ubud, as you pass lush rainforest and verdant natural scenery. The feeling only intensifies as you arrive at Sanctuary in the Pocket’s The Retreat. Discover a private sanctuary of luscious wooden accents with exotic gardens and a romantic, canopied gazebo taking pride of place. Outside of Sanctuary in the Pocket, discover Byron Bay’s bounty of national parks, farmer’s markets and trendy foodie destinations, with laidback Mullumbimby 10 minutes north and Byron’s quiet little sibling, Brunswick Heads, 10 minutes west, offering a fine selection of cafes and restaurants. The Retreat — A stylish Balinese-meets-coastal retreat with a private pool This is everything you'd expect from a Byron Bay escape – but with a twist. Experience heightened relaxation with cool, coastal whites and authentic Balinese touches throughout, canopied beds, a thatched-roof gazebo and deity-inspired statues surrounding the 10m in-ground pool. Meander through this serene escape with bi-fold windows, two bedrooms for up to four with a king-sized bed and two singles, and a crackling open log fire to curl up with a glass of vino on cooler evenings. There’s almost no need to leave, with a modern, well-equipped kitchen at the heart of The Retreat, a Nespresso coffee machine and complimentary in-room movies. See & Do — Try delicious local produce and hike through beautiful forests From your private sanctuary, you will be perfectly positioned to explore everything this incredible region has to offer. Foodies will love being able to taste the amazing local produce that abounds. For a true farm-to-table experience, visit Byron Bay The Farm, where you can wander through fields, paddocks and orchards before sitting down to a delicious meal. For a quick bite to eat, Scratch Patisserie in Mullumbimby is a fabulous choice for tasty pastries and coffee. Or head to Federal Doma Café in Byron Bay for a modern mix of Japanese and Australian cuisine. You can also head to the weekly Mullumbimby Farmers Market for some fresh produce so you can whip up something scrumptious in your cottage. Nature lovers can explore stunning national parks and the Byron Bay hinterland, full of untouched forest that will take your breath away.
