If you thought sailing the Whitsundays on a private yacht or whiling away sunny afternoons on the balcony of a beachfront villa in Noosa required connections, fame and a fat bank account to arrange, think again. The crew behind Spicers Retreats has been making these indulgent holiday options easier for everyone to enjoy with its deluxe portfolio of exceptional escapes available under its Private Collection by Spicers banner. The luxury accommodation brand has partnered with an assortment of private residences to provide one-of-a-kind escapes that open the doors to some of the most gorgeous homes around Australia. Spicers has recently bolstered its Private Collection roster with a new listing called Hinterland House, a sprawling and lavish estate situated on a working macadamia plantation located in Bangalow, just 20 minutes from Byron Bay.

Hinterland House is comprised of the central 1900s heritage homestead (crafted from hand-made blocks and sturdy timbers) and two private guest houses. The buildings can sleep 16 guests across eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, with Hinterland House’s interior recently receiving a refurbishment overseen by renowned interior designer Kathy Brauer from Bisque Traders. A 30-metre timber verandah offers glimpses of the ocean to the east, but guests will likely find themselves in and around the 14-metre swimming pool, itself boasting shaded cabanas and cushy lounges for soaking up rays. Hinterland House features some top-of-the-line amenities to go with its phenomenal location, including six bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, fire pit, manicured grounds to explore and an in-house Mercedes that seats eight. What’s more, the owners of the estate are giving guests access to their Rolodex of connections, from private chefs and spa therapists to helicopter transfers.
