This boutique bed and breakfast has been impeccably designed to be close to nature and close to the hearts of the founders, James and Stella Hudson. The attention to detail in the interior design, exterior design and facilities, like a Magnesium mineral swimming pool, are framed beautifully in acres of green rain forest, with spectacular views Eastwards to Cape Byron and the Pacific ocean. From the moment you arrive we take extra care to ensure you receive a memorable experience, with Champagne on arrival, and complimentary artisanal local produce in your room. This luxury destination is a boutique ‘home from home’ for couples, small groups of friends, family or colleagues. A place where you can ‘escape to you’.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow! Make it a double. Every now and then you come across a holiday
experience that exceeds your highest expectations - and our stay at
Blackbird Byron did just that.

The spectacular drive along the Tweed Valley Way and the fascinating, albeit
perilous drive upwards along Frasers Road at Mullumbimby Creek
provides an insight into the amazing landscape you are about to experience.

But it is unlikely you will ever witness a better sunrise, and the peace and
serenity of the Byron Hinterland will certainly stay with us for the rest of
our days. We awoke at first light each morning to watch the sunrise, always
accompanied by a symphony of birdlife. At night, the sky became a dome of stars, with the surrounding mountains providing the perfect backdrop.

Arriving to see two (non-venomous) green tree snakes mating out the front of our unit wasn't on our bingo card, but it made for quite a welcome :).

Founder James Hudson has created something very special in Blackbird
Byron, with beautifully appointed accommodation provided in small
understated units offering spectacular views to Cape Byron and the Pacific
Highway and out to Mount Chincogan.

The attention to detail in our unit was
noteworthy and it had a real touch of luxury while maintaining a very
earthy, relaxed feel.

There are only 5 units at Blackbird Byron and 10 people is the maximum ever
on site.

Five-course degustation meals prepared by our own personal chef were an
absolute highlight, giving us the opportunity to chat with others staying on the mountain, and the breakfasts each morning were also fabulous.

It's a short 20-minute drive down to the town of Mullumbimby, and Byron Bay
is just over 30 minutes' away, with the country vibe in Mullum worthy
tapping in to.

A very special holiday experience indeed. Highly recommended.

I am sitting on the balcony of our pavilion at 6am watching the sun rise over the distant hills and I am beyond grateful.

Blackbird is one of those magical places that has been created with purpose. It is an oasis nestled between open greenery and silence.

The venue itself is so perfectly put together. It’s organic with its reclaimed wooden beams and it’s contemporary with its polished concrete floors.

The team who look after you; are its asset. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is possible.

Sharing breakfast around the big wooden communal dining table is the best way to start any day. And booking one of their private chefs for evening dinner - is an experience not to be missed.

Blackbird evokes a sense of elegance, freedom, and connection to nature. Much like the bird itself, the hotel can represent a place where you can escape from the bustle of everyday life, soaring into tranquillity and sophistication. This is a retreat that offers both relaxation and refined beauty in a serene, natural setting.

11/10.

Blackbird is an experience! If you are looking for a place to be present, switch off your phone and enjoy quality time and the beautiful hinterland then book Blackbird ASAP. We had the pleasure of staying two nights, to be honest we didn't really know what to expect as we booked it on a whim just to escape our home town of Melbourne. Both of us work in the corporate world and don't have much of an appreciation for nature and slowing down, upon arriving at Blackbird it literally took our breath away. We spent hours by the pool, using the sauna and switching off from the busy world... On our first night we drove into Byron for dinner and on our second night we opted for the private chef at Blackbird (highly recommend) - I will say book your dinners in before you arrive, as the main town is limited and if you are staying over a weekend it's best to have dinner reservations locked in. Speak to the team at Blackbird and they are happy to provide recommendations. Would I stay again, YES in a heartbeat for two or three days at a time. Regardless of the time of year or weather, this space is just magical. Also what we didn't realise was the breakfast provided is a sit down meal at a communal table for all guests, again what an experience, to have six people sitting around sharing a meal, no phones and everyone connecting is remarkable in this day and age. Stella time, fabulous and knowledgeable staff, book a trip as soon as you can. If you have time also check out the Mulla Farmers' Market.

It is hard to do justice in a few short sentences to the unique experience that awaits guests at Blackbird. It is a very, very special place.

Blackbird has just five immaculately decorated en-suite lodges. With a vista across vast swathes of woodland and sweeping valleys largely untouched by humans since the dawn of time, the views across Mullumbimby Creek and down to Byron Bay some 25km away are genuinely breathtaking.

Those views come with a soundtrack from nature to make the soul soar - black cockatoos from which it gets its name, whipbirds, cicada and a myriad of other strange but wonderful bird song.

The food is fantastic at breakfast and dinner, while a well stocked honesty bar serves to help avoid the steep drive down to Mullum.

A huge thank you to manager Victoria for helping make our first visit to Australia such a special one. Her warmth and hospitality are as natural are an integral part of the Blackbird experience and as natural as the stunning scenery that surrounds it.

Small but perfectly formed,. Blackbird is a real gem that will make an indelible impression on you as it lets you breath deeply and connect.

Blackbird is the polar opposite of the normal commoditised, depersonalised, big corporate hotel experience - and all the better for it.

We feel genuinely lucky to have stayed at somewhere so special.

What an incredible stay we had at Blackbird this week. The amazing location looking over the beautiful valley to Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads is just the start. While the weather was mostly warm and clear we also experienced a spectacular thunderstorm.
The rooms are beautifully appointed with lots of little touches - least of which are the soap, shampoo and moisturiser hand made on site by Erin.
The dinners prepared by visiting chefs from fresh, local produce were perfect.
I felt like I’d rested for a week after only three days due to the very chilled and relaxed vibe created by all the staff whether you were relaxing by the magnesium pool, in the infrared sauna or enjoying breakfast.
We’ll definitely go back.

It was the perfect place for my girlfriend and I just to unwind and spend time whilst enjoying the stunning views of Bryon Bay and it’s surroundings. The rustic recycled look of the pavilions and the artful decor added to the charm and luxurious feel of the place. Vicki was warm and welcoming and we enjoyed the fresh, nutritious and delicious meals by her and her team. The tranquil ambiance of Blackbird and the beauty of nature around it made our stay so blissfully relaxing and we felt so refreshed although we were only there for 2 days.

Superb. Victoria is a wonderful host and made us the most incredible vegan breakfasts with fresh vegetables and mushrooms. The pool is heaven, the atmosphere very comfortable and chill, the view magical.

We also enjoyed a delicious plant based dine in dinner of locally sourced vegetables.

My husband and I stayed 2 nights at Blackbird on the way home to the South Coast from our wedding on Fraser Island. It the last 2 nights of our 3weeks away and it was definitely a perfect magical way to end our trip.

Victoria met us upon arrival and was such a lovely welcoming hostess. We went to the main pavilion where we were offered a complimentary glass of champagne and got a feel for the property… the view over the Byron Hinterland was to die for 💙

Our pavilion was very spacious and luxurious. It was light and open with again the most amazing views. There was a platter for us there when we arrived. It felt like we were tucked away in a little piece of paradise!

The included breakfast cooked by the on-site chef was delicious and one of the best breakfasts of our time away.

We we’re somehow lucky enough to be the only ones staying at the property the first night so we got the main pavilion, with the outdoor fire place all ourselves to enjoy the most amazing sunset. We also made the most of using the magnesium pool and Sauna (at no extra charge), we left feeling incredibly relaxing and refreshed. This was the most amazing stay we were definitely left in awe of this incredible property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Blackbird. The location up in the Byron Shire hinterland is phenomenal. And while we were struck by a lot of rain during our visit, the views and location remained breathtaking - you can see right out to the Byron lighthouse and beyond. The architecture of the place is amazing and there are only 5 individual standalone rooms or Pavilions. So it is a quiet intimate retreat.

The staff were great and super friendly and welcoming. The chefs and food also excellent.

Beautiful spot anytime of the year, highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I, along with our husbands celebrated our 50th Birthday at the amazing location Blackbird in the Byron Hinterland. Our celebratory trip to Tasmania had been cancelled due to the Corona Virus and we stumbled on Blackbird's website. It was our lucky day! We couldn't have asked for better accommodation to stay for two nights away, relishing a bit of escapism and were so grateful for the wonderful hospitality of James and the Blackbird team. A drink on arrival, followed by a swim in the Magnesium pool was the perfect remedy to unwind from the craziness and enjoy the breathtaking scenery before us. The Pavilions were beautifully designed and appointed with everything we needed. Not forgetting a beautiful bottle of wine and a cheese board waiting for us to devour. The beds were very comfortable and breakfast was delicious. We gratefully decided to eat in both nights for dinner and the meals cooked by Alex and Emily surpassed our expectations. Food to die for!! We will be a back!!
