Mullumbimby is five minutes down the road — one of the most characterful little towns in the country, with great cafes, a fantastic farmers market, and a genuinely warm local community. Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads and the beaches are all a short drive, and Mount Chincogan is right on your doorstep if you fancy a hike.

Question 10

What is the outdoor bath like?

Accepted Answer

It's the thing guests mention most. A deep soaking bath, completely outdoors, looking straight up at Mount Chincogan. Best used after dark with a red wine in hand and the sound of the bush all around you.

Question 11

Is Butterfly Lane suitable for couples?

It's made for it. The Tiny Home sleeps 2 with a queen bed, and everything about the space — the outdoor bath, the fire pit, the seclusion — is designed for switching off and reconnecting. Butterfly Lane can accommodate children if needed.

Question 12

What is the best time of year to visit Butterfly Lane?

Accepted Answer

Winter (June–August) is our favourite season — mild sunny days, cool nights, fire pit weather, and no summer crowds. The outdoor bath is extraordinary in the cool morning air. Summer is warmer and busier; shoulder season (April–May and September–October) is quieter and less expensive.

We pay our respects to the traditional owners of the land, the BunDjALUNG people.
