Bay of Byron is blessed with creative creatures such as David and Kate who escaped the stressful city life ... in order to share their talents with a community of like minded characters on 100 acres community land surrounded by forest, peppered with ponds and bird life. The community consists of 14 dwellings. To preserve the fauna no cats or dogs are allowed on the property. Abelia is a cleverly designed bed and breakfast. Kate not only designed the interior of this three bedroom B & B and their private residency, but also slaved her way into creating a rustic Abelia honeysuckle shrub inspired Garden of Eden ... The railway sleepers and the rusticish looking lights and rusty pots go well with her native flowers and bushes that attract all kinds of birds from wrens to kookaburras. David as a photographer with an eye for details helped to generate a rare homely and welcoming atmosphere away from home.
