Beautiful peaceful out of the way location, with great connection to nature and the outdoors. Very relaxing stay and hosts David and Kate were welcoming and friendly.

Angela Australia

Lovely BnB, we had a nice little room that had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the home made croissants for brekky were outstanding! Would recommend for a nice quiet night away.

Kimberley Australia

The quiet and woodland location of this lovely place made for a very romantic stay. Our hosts spent much on attention to detail especially with the warm muffins and pastries that arrived discreetly on the the verandah table outside our door every morning. Even warmed up our pre bought dinner for us so we didn't have to go out. Would definitely recommend.

Ingrid Australia

We love the rural location and the tasteful design of the house. David was very helpful.

Peter Australia

The location was beautiful. THe room and facilites were good specifications and high quality. Evertying was very clean. I loved the seating areas outside.

Sophy Australia

Gorgeous property with tastefully decorated rooms that offered comfort and serenity. The hosts were extremely accommodating and kind. The breakfast was delicious, fresh and healthy...and we also received fresh hot baked muffins - well worth the extra cost. Room was well equipped with bar fridge, aircon, wine glasses, small table, fly screens on the doors, blockout curtains and comfortable bed. Overall a peaceful and pleasant stay.

Naomi Australia

My Mother and I had the most wonderful stay, my only regret was that it was only for one night. The experience exceeded our expectations. David's hospitality made us feel like we were staying with friends. The rooms were beautiful, the art on the walls by their extremely talented Son, the very stylish furnishings and very comfortable bed, the continental breakfast was the best I have ever had, with warm muffins delivered, a yummy fruit salad and excellent coffee. The garden is breathtaking, full of beautiful plants and a haven for birds, it's a paradise that i will remember for ever

Rebecca Australia

  • Just wondering if the large beds could become 2 singles?
    thank you for you question, we only have queen beds , no singles, people do often share the queens as they are large enough to stay seperated.
    Answered on June 27, 2020
  • Hi is the queen room with terrace just 17m2 ? It seems fairly small Regards
    Hi, yes The Terrace and Forest Rooms are not big rooms, if you prefer more room or wish to stay for a longer period of time, then the Garden Room is the best option and looks over the garden and has the most private veranda space.

Kate and David
Abelia House is not only a guest house but also our home. We love living at Woodlands Sanctuary, it's quiet, peaceful and nurturing. We love walking through the forest. All the rooms are unique and different with original artwork and were designed with creative flair by Kate who is a professional interior designer.
Kate is and Interior Designer, keen gardener and excellent cook. David is an advertising Photographer and cancer advocate, he likes sitting around in cafes drinking good coffee and talking to interesting people.
Its Byron Bay, what more to say, except its as close to paradise as you can get ! The beaches are perfect, there is safe swimming, snorkelling, diving and other watersports including surfing lessons. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, from cheap eats to upmarket gourmet with every sort of cuisine catered for. The hinterland is lush, with green rolling hills and lots of interesting villages to visit. There are rainforest walks and waterfalls to visit as well.
