Set on the banks of the Orara River, Glenessi Highlands invites you to unwind with seasonal breezes, kayaking, and tranquil views of cattle grazing by the water.

Conveniently located a couple of hours south of Byron Bay and surrounded by pristine beaches and waterways - its only 15 -20 minutes off the Pacific Highway 40 minutes from Coffs Harbour Airport and only five minutes from the local village of Glenreagh, it's an easy escape that feels a world away
