Living
The heart of Cape Breeze is its open-concept living space upstairs. Warm and inviting, this room will quickly become the central gathering place for your family or group of friends while staying in Byron Bay. Crows Ash tongue-and-groove timber flooring extends throughout, while full-length cypress pine boards draw the eye upwards to the incredible cathedral ceiling. This fine craftsmanship is evident throughout the home, but truly on display here in the living space. Sit back and relax on the supple leather couch and chairs, or leave the sliding glass doors open wide to welcome daily ocean breezes while admiring headland views.

The rustic feel is perfectly balanced with shining, stainless steel appliances and modern fixtures, creating a practical space for preparing any meal.
