Your Hosts
Villa Rani holds a very special place in our hearts.
We’re Gayle & Hank. We’ve been married for over 30 years and built this beautiful villa from the ground up. Having visited Bali for the past 30 years, we couldn’t think of a better place to recreate our own idea of heaven than right here in our home of Byron Bay.
We aim to provide you with as much or as little help and assistance as you require. Please feel free to let us know if you are here to retreat from the world or if you would like our help planning your stay with us. We endeavour to make ourselves available to you as best we can.
Please kindly note that our home dwelling is within relatively close proximity to the villa. However, we sincerely respect your space and privacy and endeavour to keep our family noise levels minimal. We appreciate that you acknowledge and consider this to be shared property. If you search for a deeply private and isolated space, this may not be the villa you are looking for.
Our approach is authentic, and our style is simple and chic.
The Villa
Villa Rani is set on 5 acres and is available for 2-4 people with plenty of room to walk your furbabies. We’re would love to give you advice on local hotspots, with so many wonderful cafes, bars and restaurants within 10 minutes drive, there’s no shortage of wonderful places to discover during your stay.
The one and only Byron Bay Main Beach is also only 15 minutes drive away - there you can explore the local area and take a hike up the Lighthouse to see the world-famous Wategoes beach - not to be missed. We are also located 15 minutes to beautiful Brunswick Heads and the lovely Mullumbimby townships.
We have so many more things to share, but let’s keep that for when we meet :)
We look forward to welcoming you!

A little more about Villa Rani
Inspired by the beautiful villas of Bali, Villa Rani features two spacious bedrooms with king & queen beds, a luxurious natural stone bathroom with a double shower and French doors that open to the outdoor stone bathtub.
Guests will have no need to leave this Balinese retreat; with a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and media room including Netflix, sound system and WiFi, it is the perfect place to retreat, unwind and rejuvenate in the peaceful ambience.
A spacious, enclosed outdoor living area offers a fully private and serene place to enjoy a glass of wine and a home-cooked meal.
