🌿 Tin Horse Ranch – Private Byron Hinterland Estate | Pool | Sleeps 16+
Welcome to Tin Horse Ranch, a truly special and much-loved hinterland retreat set in the rolling hills of Pearces Creek, just minutes from Byron Bay.
David first discovered Tin Horse Ranch nine years ago while holidaying here with a group of friends. They loved it so much they returned year after year. Today, David is the proud owner and lives on the property in separate accommodation, warmly welcoming guests to share and enjoy this unique and historic slice of the Byron hinterland. Many of those original guests still return annually—a testament to how special this place really is.
✨ The Arrival & Grounds
Your stay begins at the front gate, where you’re greeted by the iconic, life-size Tin Horse and colourful flags. A long, winding driveway leads past a peaceful creek (keep an eye out for the resident platypus), a large lily pond, and up to the hilltop main house with its circular driveway and covered parking. Just beyond, you’ll find the charming cabin and studio.
