Unwind in Style
Laid-back luxury meets eco-living at Carinya Byron Bay. Each self-contained villa has two thoughtfully designed bedrooms and an open-plan layout, perfect for families or couples.
Cook in your fully equipped kitchen, enjoy meals at the dining table, and take in sweeping hinterland views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Step onto your private deck to relax among the trees.
Escape to the Byron Bay hinterland
Set on Arakwal Country, Carinya offers a peaceful retreat just 10 minutes from Byron Bay’s beaches and 5 minutes from the boutique village of Bangalow.
Surrounded by nature yet close to it all, our villas let you experience the best of both worlds—explore by day, then unwind on your deck as the sun sets over the hills.

As peaceful as it can get! What an outstanding view and experience. Family of four, we traveled twice to Carinya and felt absolutely relaxed and at home right the way each and every time! What a way to escape your daily routine and connect with nature. I wish this could be our own secret location as it’s too good to be shared!! Unfortunately 😀. Can’t wait to be back.
Thank you to the hosts!

We stayed at Carinya this January and had such an amazing stay. It’s even more impressive than the photos show! Our cottage was beautiful, peaceful, clean and had a magnificent outlook over the hinterlands & farm. Only a short drive into the heart of Byron. Carinya’s hosts were very helpful, organised and met all of our needs. We will definitely be back again!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful, and I hope we return again some day. The villa was just as described and very comfortable. Being on a farmland, there was very good breeze which kept the place cool throughout our stay (plus the ceiling fans). The villa was very comfortable and the cows really do wander up and down the farm. The shops are only 10 minutes from the accom, and the beach is roughly the same. Super convienent. They really do focus on sustainable stays, and we really appreciated the efforts put in to making it comfortable and easy to achieve.
