About this property

Girayir Cottage. Native gardens. Byron hinterland. Abundant wildlife.

A sunfilled one bedroom private cottage amongst native gardens and abundant wildlife. Wake up to the sound of black cockatoos and watch the wallabies nearby and maybe spot a koala in the nearby eucalyts or echidna scratching around the gardens.

The cottage is on a small acreage in the village of Federal in the Byron hinterland. It is private from the main residence and is 60m2 plus deck.

The cottage has a full kitchen and open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, washing machine, walk in shower and comfortable queen sized bed, There is a deck that looks out over the valley with glimpses of the ocean and the swoops of the Byron Bay lighthouse at night.
