A Regenerative Retreat in the Byron Hinterland

Cradled by rainforest and rolling green valleys, Amaroo is a luxury eco-retreat with a deep soul and a gentle footprint. Set on 213 acres of restored farmland just outside Bangalow, this architecturally designed estate offers both serenity and connection—whether booked as a romantic couples’ hideaway or a nature-filled gathering for up to 14.

The property features four beautifully appointed studios and a shared lounge pavilion with a gourmet kitchen, long-table dining, and a sparkling green pool overlooking the hills. From forest-view outdoor showers to slow lunches by the woodfired pizza oven, Amaroo encourages reconnection— with nature, with one another, and with the land.

Lovingly brought back to life by stewards Mike and Cathy Tomkins, the property runs on spring water, solar energy and purpose. With native wildlife, regenerative gardens, and tree-planting partnerships at its heart, Amaroo is proof that luxury and sustainability can grow side by side.
