As well as the accommodation and farm business, the property holds Byron Shire Council DA Approvals, Consents and Construction Certificates to build and operate a licensed cafe to host special events and private functions such as weddings and milestone birthdays.

“Ten years in the making, with Byron Shire Council DA approvals and consents for a Cafe, Tooraloo Farm & Boutique Resort is ready for the next owner to take the property and business to the next level,” Dominique Williams told THE HOTEL CONVERSATION.

“Alternatively, it's a sensational semi-rural property with a luxuriously appointed primary residence plus four guest houses, farmlands and swimming pool - gated, fenced and exclusively private.”

The property combines both new and fully restored buildings, made to look old using authentic building components and materials in keeping with a farm stay chic aesthetic.

Guests are accommodated across five houses with a total of 14 bedrooms. These are a 1910s Federation owners' residence and the historic ‘Barnstay’ house, both renovated; and newly built abodes known as ‘Visionary Villa’, ‘Sunset Cottage’, and ‘Swanky Shed’. The property is also enhanced by an approx. 9x5 m swimming pool, citrus orchards, and rose gardens.

Speaking to THE HOTEL CONVERSATION, Tooraloo vendor, Concetta Antico said, “My creative vision for Tooraloo was to restore her to her former Federation glory with an artistic flair elevating the space to a place of comfort, relaxation as an extraordinary Byron Bay hospitality and tourism venue.”

“Concetta fell in love with the old historic home nestled on the hill in the central north of property which was framed by a large fig tree,” Principal Town Planner Byron Bay, Chris Lonergan told THE HOTEL CONVERSATION.

“Her brief was to achieve accommodation, a cafe and an art studio which reflected the rural character of the area and where possible to incorporate her collection of vintage windows, entry doors and building materials to achieve a blending design which had a timeless visual quality.”

Other buildings and facilities include a Belle Epoque-inspired art gallery & emporium for commercial operations; an approx. 60 sqm pool cabana & bar with bathroom and an outdoor shower; and a Vintage Tea House.

On the farm side of the business there are 3 fenced livestock paddocks as well as horse stable, pen cattle yards, a chicken coop and 2 dams.

There are numerous machinery and storage buildings on site as well, including a restored 'boiler room' used for storage, 3 historic garden sheds, a double car garage and 3 carports, a BBQ hut and canopy, and even a custom replica 'Gypsy Wagon'.

Lynn Malone believes Tooraloo has the assets, infrastructure and Byron Shire Council DA approvals and consents to capitalize on the business of tourism, hospitality, and agriculture. Its storybook aesthetic is backed by modern technology to operate a sophisticated business in response to consumer demand.

“Following in the footsteps of Byron Bay destination dining success stories such as The Farm and Harvest Cafe at Newrybar, Tooraloo Farm & Boutique Resort has the infrastructure and facilities to become the next popular dining and accommodation superstar,” Lynn explained to THE HOTEL CONVERSATION.

Tooraloo is located 1 minute from the M1 Motorway and close to dining destination ‘The Farm’, Byron Central Hospital, Byron Bay CBD and other Byron Shire localities including Brunswick Head, Mullumbimby Wategos Beach and Bangalow. Ballina Airport is around 15 minutes’ drive, Gold Coast International Airport is 45 minutes’ drive and Brisbane International Airport is 2 hours’ drive.
