When not at the beach (just minutes’ walk from Carlyle), or in town shopping and eating, you’ll find no shortage of places in which to lounge and entertain.

Outdoors, catch cool summer breezes on the wide northern verandah as you laze in antique chairs, crafted from teak and rattan. Alternatively, set yourself up on a generously sized siesta lounge, plumped high with cushions. The lush tropical gardens surrounding the house feature some of Byron’s most established frangipani trees and one of Byron’s oldest and largest fig trees, a majestic centerpiece to the pond, lawn, sculpture and contemplation spaces which surround it.

Indoors, a vaulted leadlight and paneled ceiling are the highlights of the tranquil lounge room. While away the hours in front of the gas fireplace, cosied up with a fluffy rug and luxuriating in the depths of the four seater lounge. An atmosphere of gentle sophistication is inspired by the elegant flowing lines of French Provincial style furniture. Dim the lights to instantly convert the space into a comfortable cinema room, complete with 42 LCD flat screen, cable and hi fidelity stereo sound.

Three large bedrooms each feature a Queen sized bed, draped with mosquito netting and dressed in soft, sumptuous linen. A private ensuite is located off each room. Robes provide ample storage during your stay and air conditioning provides personal comfort. Two of the rooms feature flat screen TVs for lazy nights in.

Stunning leadlight and floral glass, created by local artisan, is a feature of every room throughout the house. Floors are also an artwork in themselves, using a mixture of bluegum, teak and kauri parquetry to striking effect.

High, airy ceilings and its north facing orientation ensure comfort all year round for guests.

Sleeps up to 6 in divine comfort and is a minute’s stroll from ‘Massinger Spa & Sanctuary’ making it an ideal option for larger groups of up to 12 people.
