This is a classic plantation home with a Byron-Hawaiian twist called Luana Estates.  It’s a place where families can now holiday together and enjoy being in a state of “Luana” [Hawaiian for place of rest, contentment, happiness and leisure].

Luana is a reflection of the owner’s love of Hawaiian culture with antiques and artwork sourced direct from the motherland. This includes traditional Hawaiian pieces by Honolula and Kauai artisans and Hawaiian-made Koa outrigger oars that hang on the wall. Throughout the master bedrooms and hallways you’ll find vintage collectable hula dolls from the 50’s and 60’s amongst other artefacts and vintage photographs from Hawaiian holiday-makers from generations gone by.

Reawaken your senses in boutique resort-style living among the sublime Byron Bay hinterland. Situated close to beaches and offering vast spaces indoors and out, Luana Estates is the perfect excuse for a luxurious family getaway. While away the hours in the breathtaking outdoors where you have various seating and dining zones, a spa, swimming pool, tennis court and lush gardens. You’re also surrounded by heavenly views indoors from the five exceptional bedrooms through to the plentiful living spaces.

Whether you arrive at the sumptuous Luana Estates by helicopter or car, your worries will quickly disappear. The light-filled, cohesive interior is achieved through a feng shui design approach in combination with stone, a white palette and timber flooring, architraves and exposed roof structure.

In the main pavilion sliding glass walls create a seamless connection from the open plan living, dining and kitchen to the outdoors. In the centre of the space is the kitchen which is sure to become the main meeting hub with its generous island bench, seating, stunning views and its proximity to the large dining room. There’s also a generous living room that offers a fireplace and various comfortable seating. At the other end is a spacious formal dining table that seats up to 12 and enjoys picturesque views. While an intimate lounge room with stone fireplace has ample seating for all guests with a large modular lounge and nearby window seat. Outdoors there’s something on offer from dawn to dusk. Relax by the magnesium pool or in the spa as the kids go for a hit of tennis and explore the garden.  Bring the family together and enjoy a long barbecue lunch as you soak up the views in the al fresco dining zone and gather around the fire-pit under glorious moonlight. While for optimal sunset views, the terrace is the place to be. 

Back indoors you can rest undisturbed in the master suite. A large sliding door brings the serene surroundings indoors, while for a peaceful end to the day the lavish ensuite with bathtub awaits. The indulgence and verdant surrounds don’t stop in the master bedroom as you have three king bedrooms - two with ensuites - while the fifth bedroom houses two sets of single bunks.
