Byron Hinterland Villas

Fantastic views, great location, well thought out and everything needed. Bedrooms chilly in off season when we visited, but unlikely to be an issue for most people.

This is such a beautiful propery nestled in the beautiful surroundings. We will be back.

On the plus side. Such a secluded and peaceful spot. BHV are very private, quiet and have a fabulous outlook over the rolling hills. We stayed in Villa 5, a 3 bedroom villa where cows could be heard mooing and you were welcome to take a walk across the fields to visit them. The stars at night are plentiful without any light pollution to dilute them The pool at the top of the complex is great and there is also a tennis court, although we didn't use this. The resident dogs Arnie and Atlas are just beautiful, Arnie even wandered into our villa one afternoon for a visit. The villa is well appointed for self catering and also a lot of little 'extras' such as mosquito coils are provided. Little villages such as Clunes and Bangalow are very close by, with restaurants and shops catering to most basic needs. On the downside, If booking this villa, be aware. The third bedroom is co-located with the laundry underneath the villa proper and can only be accessed externally. There are no bathroom facilities for this bedroom, other than what is contained within the villa. In my opinion, the third bedroom is not suitable accommodation for children younger than mid teens. There was also an over abundance of spider webs both inside and outside the villa. I found a massive spider in the wardrobe of the main bedroom and from the looks of the web, it had been living there for quite some time. I guess that is why there was a new bottle of insect spray in the kitchen cupboard.

The villa was perfect and just what I was looking for, as I had to work off-hours remotely, it was private with great wifi. Fully self-contained with a BBQ on the balcony so I was able to make meals and enjoy the amazing views, while not disturbing other guests. Suzanne and Peter were wonderful hosts and would definitely recommend, for anyone who is looking to explore the Byron area.
