The Vale offers a Retreat to get away from the busy life: A truly Magnificent established 50 acre of a cattle farm transitioning into an Animal Sanctuary in the Byron Shire, 10 mins from the ocean. A special place for your family to be together without all the city distractions; a place to share time with other families; or for good friends to enjoy company together in the beautiful Northern Rivers. There is no reason to leave if you don't want to. Relax on the dam pontoon during the day, settle in on the swings with the 5 duck residents or soak in the hot tub under the wisteria pavilion, and sit around the sandstone fire pit by night.
