River House aka The Federal Hilton

This is the perfect place to get away from it all - relax in the eclectic cottage, stroll around the gardens, swim in the creek, gaze at the stars, cook up a storm, laze on the deck, listen to the birds and spot the odd wild life if you're lucky! The space The River House is located in the beautiful Byron Bay hinterland. The holiday cottage is located at the end of Charlton’s Road, about 3km from the village of Federal. The maps included with this information sheet will provide directions to reach the property from Bangalow. (Maps provided on full payment). Our picturesque, peaceful, ten acre property has been planted with a variety of tropical fruits - perhaps a grapefruit for breakfast, avocado for lunch and a mango for dessert!

Some tips for extra comfort - in summer keep the fly screens closed after dark to keep yourselves bug proof and in winter shut all the curtains at dusk to keep the heat in during the night. Some mobiles are out of range at the house, you need to walk or drive to the top of the hill depending on your network. The Federal Store: The store is the only shop in the village and is a meeting place for the locals for anything and everything. It acts as the supermarket, bottle shop, post office, newsagent and eftpos outlet. All you need to bring are your provisions. Some tips: A torch for night time spotting, gum boots for wet weather, table linen for glamour dining and beach towels for a dip in the creek or the sea nb; The collection of the key will be advised upon receipt of full payment Guest access Mobile, internet, Wi-Fi, phone: Up until not so long ago we had no mobile coverage or internet access at the house - a Telstra tower has been erected so we can get coverage at the house if you’re with Telstra.
