This moody lodge tucked away in the Byron Bay hinterland stuns all who step through its door

Located on a leafy hill in the picturesque hinterland is a unique but lush lodge with 180 degree views, a beautiful swimming pool and an attractive interior.

The spectacular property, called NOX, is located in Talofa, 10 minutes inland from Byron Bay and looks out over rolling green hills towards the ocean.

It is decorated both inside and out with deep charcoal wood cladding, creating bold and atmospheric spaces, illuminated by large windows.

Guests are introduced to the home’s all-black theme in the dark wood lobby through the front door that leads past a spiral staircase and sitting area to the spectacular communal family room.

The open-plan living room, kitchen and dining room are the epicenter and brightest room of the house with white walls, limestone floors and ceiling-to-ceiling windows inviting natural light.

The lounge is warmed by a double-sided fireplace, while 4.8 meter sloping ceilings give the space a sense of grandeur and the dining area features a baby grand piano.

Unlike the rest of the family room, the kitchen is completely black.

A servery window opens to create an indoor/outdoor seating area with a bar that overlooks the beautiful landscape along the pool, sundeck and outdoor area with fireplace and built-in seating.

There is also an al fresco entertainment area with a BBQ kitchen and wood fire pizza oven, protected by a wooden slatted screen so you can enjoy it rain, hail or shine.
