Discover Rainbow River — a rare 7-acre sanctuary in the Byron Bay Hinterland, where rainforest meets an ever-flowing creek, private swimming holes offer summer relief and multiple dwellings create exceptional lifestyle flexibility for the savvy buyer.
Only 13 minutes to South Golden Beach, Ocean Shores and Mullumbimby, 15 minutes to Brunswick Heads and 30 minutes to Byron Bay, this peaceful property balances privacy and natural beauty with possibility in a highly sought-after location.
The north-facing two-bedroom home is light-filled and welcoming, featuring polished timber floors, open-plan living and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that flow into refurbished timber decks and landscaped tropical gardens.

The large serving window opens onto the eastern deck for easy alfresco entertaining with a stunning view. A cedar-lined fireplace nook adds warmth, while a new 7kW split-system provides year-round comfort.
