Cosy Coastal Cabin - nature views/beach nearby

*Byron/20 min, Airport/15 min, Lake/7 min, Town/6 min, Surf Beach/3 min* (*DRIVETIME*) The property has a rustic-rural vibe and is located on the southern edge of Lennox Head. It’s a pleasant alternative to central suburbia with ample bird life and a flurry of much-loved pets. It has an elevated, leafy outlook and you’ll love the sense of external space surrounding you. There are beautiful beaches and headland walks to explore nearby. It is not a farm and there can some road noise in the day.
