Discover Moonrise and Starfall – two exquisite holiday properties that blend luxury with relaxation. Each featuring 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, these fully-appointed residences are perfectly positioned within a short stroll of the magnificent Wategos Beach.
Nestled in a private sanctuary surrounded by vibrant rainforest and perched above spectacular Wategos Beach, these exceptional homes offer a secluded escape. A private 50m pathway at the back of the residences leads you to the road near Raes Restaurant, granting you easy access to one of the world's most beautiful beaches. Whether you're planning a week-long escape, a month of leisure, or an extended holiday, these homes provide the ideal setting to enjoy all that Byron Bay and Australia have to offer year-round.
Moonrise stands as a tribute to natural splendour, drawing inspiration from its lush surroundings. Crafted by celebrated local firm Harley Graham Architecture, this stunning villa harmonises contemporary design with its hillside setting, showcasing breathtaking Byron Bay vistas. New York-based designer Piper Skillman has masterfully connected these residences to their natural environment, capturing Australia's distinctive landscape essence.
Step inside to experience relaxed luxury that epitomises the Wategos lifestyle. Multiple gathering spaces invite connection and conversation, while four thoughtfully designed bedrooms provide serene, private havens. The interiors showcase bespoke furniture highlighting organic materials' natural beauty. Custom pieces by distinguished artisans including Mark Tuckey, Jardan, Tsar Carpets, and other Australian craftspeople adorn these homes. Original artwork from talented creators such as Rikki Kasso, Michael Whiteread, Rebekah Stuart, John Kerry, and emerging local artists enhances every space. The design palette features tactile, neutral materials – natural fibres, stone, timber, and hand-finished micro-cement walls – creating a calming atmosphere throughout.
Subtle green and blue accents throughout both properties reflect the verdant foliage, vast Pacific Ocean, and endless azure sky, elegantly blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Only a location as spectacular as this could inspire holiday accommodations of such refined comfort. Your unforgettable Byron Bay experience awaits at Moonrise and Starfall.
