Eco-Friendly Villas in Byron Bay’s Hinterland
Six private eco villas on 100 acres of Byron Bay hinterland. Ten minutes from the beach, seven minutes from Bangalow, and far enough from everything to properly unwind.
Each villa is self-contained with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, private deck and sweeping valley views. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Each villa is self-contained and fully equipped, designed so you can arrive, settle in, and not need to think about a thing.

We run off solar and rainwater, it's just how Carinya works. The villas are built to stay naturally comfortable, with ceiling fans, good airflow and plantation shutters. Air conditioning is there when you need it, and we trust guests to use it thoughtfully.
Where you'll find us
Carinya is set in Talofa, 10 minutes from Byron Bay's beaches and 7 minutes from Bangalow. Ballina Airport is around 25 minutes away, Gold Coast Airport around 50 minutes, making it an easy drive from both.
The hinterland setting gives you a chance to truly unwind, while still being able to pop into town when needed.
Accessible Villa Available
One of our six villas is fully accessible, with step-free entry, a roll-in shower, grab rails, and onsite disabled parking. The open-plan layout allows ease of movement, and the deck has wheelchair-friendly access.
We welcome guests of all mobility levels and are happy to provide more detail or talk through your accessibility needs, just reach out.
Booking for a group?
With six villas sleeping up to 24 guests, Carinya works well for extended families, wedding groups and retreats. Each villa is private, but you're close enough to share meals, sunset drinks and time outdoors together.
If you’re considering booking more than one villa, feel free to get in touch to check availability.
