“A weatherboard cottage for single guests or couples (no children) to unplug and recalibrate with very nice linen, a queen-sized bed, and gorgeous outdoor shower (by award winning architect Paul Owen) overlooking lush forest…with carefully selected ceramics, napkins and towels you could do what it suggests on the box and get stuck into your own writing, or you could just relax on the daybed with the background song of native birds.”

The Location
Set in the peaceful Byron Bay Hinterland, The Writers Room offers a lovely balance of privacy and convenience. Surrounded by the lush Goonengerry National Park, you’ll have stunning views of hills and greenery right outside your door. A quick drive takes you to Byron Bay’s famous beaches and lively town centre, with local cafes, unique shops, and landmarks nearby for you to explore.
While The Writers Room offers plenty of privacy, guests may occasionally share the property with others staying in the main house – Goonengerry House
Alternatively, grab some friends and rent both Goonengerry House and The Writers Room for a larger, more social getaway while still enjoying the privacy of each individual space.
