the location - nest, byron bay
Nestled in the ancestrally grounded Byron Bay hinterland, Nest is an acreage of gentle sloping land, heritage protected national rainforest and abundant native wildlife. The property offers a beautiful and serene environment to rest and rejuvenate. The nighttime is just as magical with mesmerising star gazing and moon bathing. There are many hidden spots where you can take time to be with yourself and immerse in silence, share meals in the dining-lounge room with magnificent views to Mount Boogarem. Nest is honoured to be held by the ancient lands of the Minjungbul People who are part of the Bundjalung Nation.
