Palms rustling in the breeze, mountains sloping down to green fields, and the sea sparkling in the distance make this contemporary villa feel like it’s set on a little piece of Bali. The architecture adds to the illusion, with a sloping roof over the great room and balconies hiding daybeds. But in fact it’s in the Australian countryside, near the beaches and surfing spots of hot-spot Byron Bay.

Trees mark the corners of a swimming pool that seems to stretch off the hillside, while a multi-level terrace with alfresco sitting and dining areas follows the slope. It’s easy to entertain friends and family here, serving drinks from the outdoor bar and dinner from the outdoor kitchen.

Even the great room feels immersed in the landscape, thanks to fold-away glass walls in the living area, louvered windows in the dining area, and a pass-through from the fully equipped kitchen. Dark woods and crisp whites invoke the tropical luxury pioneered by Bali’s resorts.

Spread out not just in the great room, but in the 3 main-house bedrooms, a separate guest-house bedroom, and a bunk room perfect for children.

From the villa’s setting in rural Wilsons Creek, it’s about 25 kilometers to Byron Bay and its beaches. Go swimming and surfing, spot humpback whales and dolphins, and walk to the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse, the easternmost point in Australia. In town, stop at bakeries turning out flaky croissants and restaurants firing up pizzas.
