A restored 1881 homestead on 52 private acres, sleeping up to 12.

High on St Helena Ridge at McLeods Shoot, Aurora House sits within 52 acres of farmland and rainforest, ten minutes from Byron Bay. The homestead has been restored with contemporary interiors while keeping the character of a grand country residence, and the views run a full 360 degrees.

Room for everyone

The main Homestead and a separate Japanese-inspired guest Pod sleep up to 12 across five bedrooms. Generous living and dining areas bring the group together, while the Pod, the study and the upstairs Loft give people somewhere to retreat to. A 20-metre pool looks out over the countryside, with a pool pavilion, two outdoor baths in ceramic and copper, a full-size indoor bath, a fire pit outdoors, and a stone fireplace in the homestead for the cooler months.

Luxury holiday accommodation in the Byron Bay hinterland, sleeping up to 12.

Welcome to Aurora House.

Byron Bay Hinterland Accommodation on St Helena Ridge.

Welcome to a Byron Bay hinterland estate that sits well apart from the ordinary. Aurora House is a private holiday home in a breathtaking location, with room for up to 12 guests to relax, recharge and explore the Byron Bay lifestyle.

Aurora, meaning “Goddess of the Dawn” and “dawn light” perfectly describes the beauty and ethereal quality of Aurora House and surrounding estate. High on St Helena Ridge it is one of the spots the sun first touches as it rises and one of the last it sets upon.

Stunning Location.

360-degree panoramic view with ocean vistas.

Sitting spectacularly on St Helena Ridge, McLeods Shoot, the residence is just 10 minutes’ drive from the Byron Bay town centre. It enjoys sweeping, panoramic 360-degree views, capturing sea vistas north towards ocean shores and Mount Warning and south towards Lennox Head, as well as lush rolling hinterland. 

Set within 52 acres of part farmland, part rainforest, rising from spring-fed dams up to the crest of St Helena Ridge there is plenty to explore. The property is a working farm but also home to ancient scrub forest with 150-year-old fig trees, which, like natural cathedrals, spread their boughs to the sky.

The Homestead and the Pod.

The Master Suite has a four-poster queen bed and a private ensuite. Two further bedrooms each have a queen bed, and the upstairs Loft has a queen bed and two king singles. Across four bathrooms and ensuites plus a powder room, there is room for everyone to settle in.

Set apart from the main house, the Japanese-inspired Pod works as a small suite of its own: a queen bedroom with ensuite and a stone bath, and a lounge where the sofa folds out to a bed. It suits grandparents, a second couple, or anyone who wants a door of their own without leaving the group.
