The Location – Waterfront luxury 30 minutes from Byron Bay, 20 minutes from the Gold Coast airport and two hours from Brisbane

Situated on the picturesque Cabarita Beach among the lush hills of** Northern New South Wales **and just two hours from Brisbane, Halcyon House is the ultimate secluded beachfront escape. Take in the view while indulging in a **complimentary chef’s plate of fresh fruit, welcome drinks **and a bottle of bubbly on arrival.

Whether it’s taking one of the complimentary bicycles for a ride or grabbing one of the in-house surfboards to catch a wave before breakfast, the way you’d like to spend your days is entirely up to you.

The Food – Enjoy daily à la carte breakfast from the sanctuary of your sun-drenched room

Leading the kitchen at Halcyon House is Chef Ben Devlin – who drove Paper Daisy to its commended win of NSW Regional Restaurant of the Year in the **2018 National Good Food Guide**. Coming over from** Brisbane’s three-hat restaurant, Esquire**, Devlin uses the region’s unique produce to create memorable dining experiences for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Start each relaxing day with a delicious seasonal breakfast featuring mouth-watering dishes like kefir pancakes with macadamia cream and passionfruit, sobrasada with a fried egg and smoked bacon and hot smoked fish with scrambled eggs and cultured cream. Enjoy it from the gorgeous Paper Daisy restaurant or from the comfort of your chic, ocean-facing room.

After a sun-drenched morning on the golden sands of Cabarita beach, enjoy an extraordinary two-course lunch at Paper Daisy and feast on buttermilk-brined chicken with pine nuts and dill, grilled eggplant with cardamom and basil or grilled eggplant with mustard leaf and chickpea. Top it off with any of the amazing desserts – we’d try the grilled fig sorbet with fresh coconut cream and anise.
