A picturesque 20 minute drive from The Barn you will find the biggest little town in Australia Mullumbimby, an alternative lifestyle centre in glorious surroundings sitting on the Brunswick River surrounded by subtropical hills. Located on the doorstep of the striking Mt Chincogan, Mullumbimby is home to a number of lush natural attractions and the Mullum Music Festival each November.
With happening cafes and restaurants like The Rock n Roll Café, Izakaya Japanese and the Courthouse Hotel along with an eclectic shopping you can always find something to delight. Visit Clay Organics for the best facials in town.
Looking for even more relaxation when staying at The Barn. We recommended booking yourselves into the Kiva Spa in Mullumbimby.
Hidden in a bamboo grove down a quiet lane in Mullumbimby you will find the local hot-spot Kiva Spa. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage,
a detoxifying sweat in the yurt styled wood-heated sauna. Take your time for a relaxing soak in one of the four jet-streamed spa pools. The steam room has a high domed roof and marbled walls, creating a misty experience, and finish off with a cold dip in the plunge pool that completely invigorates the senses.
Just up the road you will discover the Byron Shires Iconic Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens. These private botanical gardens filled with extraordinary crystals, sub-tropical plant life, café, World Peace Stupa and daily experiences for all ages will provide you with a unique experience.
Entry fees apply.
Further into the hills and on the way back to The Barn you can visit Minyon Falls. The view from Minyon Falls lookout is simply stunning; not only of the falls themselves, but on a clear day you can see all the way out to the coast.
From the lookout, watch as the flow cascades over Minyon Falls to a deep palm-shaded gorge roughly 100m below. The tops of the cliffs are forested with Australian eucalypts, like blackbutt and scribbly gum and at the base is a beautiful natural pool that was made for swimming.
