Story by Melissa
Tiny Home, Huge Vibe
Adventure in Myocum, North Coast, NSW, AU
Located on a 100-acre farm in a lush green valley, surrounded by rolling green hills sits 'Valley View' Tiny Home.
The stunning modern, yet unpretentious property is fitted with new appliances, wooden floorboards and boasts an extended deck with an outdoor bath. The perfect spot to pause and linger in thought, soak up the scenery and truly feel recharged by nature.
We spent many hours resting on the sunny deck observing the picturesque setting, watching the birdlife and cows roam by the lush expanse of green. Time really does feel like it slows down here on the farm.
Spoilt by nature we explored local waterfalls and beaches in the neighbouring towns. After a day of activities, we took advantage of the tank pool, cooling off whilst enjoying the stunning views was a pretty unique experience. Into the evening we shared a drink by the fire and watched the stars slowly appear across the skyline.
Though small in size, the space is so well considered and the attention to detail makes you really feel at home. The high ceilings and great use of windows create a calming space of comfort. We enjoyed views from the mezzanine bed - fitted with luxurious sheets and the world's comfiest mattress, you really felt like you were floating on a cloud.
We left feeling completely zen and rejuvenated, this place has etched a special place in our hearts.

We strolled down New Brighton beach and grabbed breakfast at the local cafe Yum Yum Tree, the place has an endearing community vibe. Sitting under the trees with friendly feathered locals waiting for leftovers we watched the nearby river ripple by. The food was nutritious and moreish, we noted they do woodfire pizza and live music on the weekends. We will be back!
The menu at Harvest showcased delightful ingredients sustainably sourced from local suppliers. Not only were the dishes incredibly tasty, but they were also beautifully presented with a wine list to match. We had smoked Trout with yoghurt & Davidson plum, Coffin Bay Oysters, Snapper ceviche, Asparagus & Proscuitto plus decadent Chocolate and Blood Orange dessert.
The bright and breezy weatherboard house boasted tall ceilings and greenery, the staff were friendly and attentive.
Just one of many reasons to visit the quaint town of Newrybar!

The sunrises and sunsets are absolutely spectacular and even better enjoyed from the clifftop walking track up to the lighthouse. It's the perfect spot to watch surfers and if you're lucky you might spy a whale or pod of dolphins!
Coined 'Bruns' by locals, this vibing little beachside town isn't just picturesque, it boasts some of the most incredible culinary offerings. We spent an entire day relaxing and eating our way around town, taking our tastebuds and senses on one hell of a journey.
We started our day with margaritas and lunch at the popular Mexican joint 'La Casita'. The rustic furniture and chilled vibe made for a sweet spot to grab a bite to eat under the trees before strolling down to the 'Natural Ice-cream Australia' truck.
Serving gut-focused ice cream using locally foraged and indigenous ingredients the flavours are unexplainably good. Wal has created some kind of magic here! We had prebiotic Smokey Paperbark ice-cream with Coffee and Maple sauce and also some kind of Blueberry & White Aspen Fingerlime situation - seriously tasty.
Escaping the heat we made our way to the river, it was high tide, the river was buzzing with life. Kids jumped from the bridge, and kayaks glided past. We found a shady spot and spent the next couple of hours relaxing and digesting, slipping in and out of the refreshing water to cool off.
The perfect way to end our afternoon was with a glass of wine and tapas at 'Honour'. The deli cabinet is filled with premium salumi, cheeses and house-made terrines & rillettes by Chef Anna Mortimer, made using traditional French farmhouse methods. Husband and sommelier Ameryric talked us through the interesting wine list and poured the perfect glass to enjoy our food.
Only 20 mins up the road from Byron Bay, this town is well worth the journey!

This humble waterfall was a welcomed surprise, the surrounding rock pools were perfect for exploring and cooling off during a muggy afternoon.
