Built in 1893, Bencluna Homestead was one of the first houses built in the Byron Hinterland. Constructed of timbers felled on the property and nestled within nature, the house offers complete privacy. Bencluna boasts the best of both worlds, surrounded by 6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and rainforest as well as a stunning macadamia plantation and is yet only 5 minutes away from the qua
int villages of Federal and Clunes, 10 minutes from Bangalow town and less than 20 minutes to the beaches of Byron Bay. The house has undergone a full renovation to combine its original beauty and features with the niceties of today.
