51 hectares of volcanic hinterland, 8 minutes from Byron Bay. Three hundred exotic fruit varieties, a world-class destination being shaped now.
70 Foxs Lane occupies 51 hectares of volcanic basalt hinterland in Tyagarah, New South Wales — 8 minutes from Byron Bay, directly adjacent to the 63km Byron Bay Rail Trail opening in 2026.
The land has been cultivating rare tropical fruits for decades. What is being built here is not being invented from scratch — it is being drawn out from what the land already is, and directed towards what it has always been capable of becoming.
16 keys of architect-designed accommodation set within the tropical orchard canopy — designed by Luke Chandresinghe of Undercover Architecture. Volcanic basalt stone, recycled hardwood, rammed earth. Every room is oriented to the land.
Six standalone cottages elevated on stilts over the hillside, framing panoramic views across the orchard canopy. Each cottage sits within the tree line — private, quiet, and connected to the landscape in a way that hotels cannot replicate.
A ten-room boutique hotel-style residence offering the full amenity suite with a level of service precision suited to the most discerning guests. Adjacent to the pool and wellness centre, the residence is the social heart of the estate.
The estate restaurant operates on a single principle: what is on the plate came from this land, or from the land immediately around it. Chefs work daily with the orchard harvest, the propagation nursery, and the kitchen garden to compose menus that are, by nature, seasonal and unrepeatable.
Fine-casual dining for guests and members. Estate-grown, estate-made. Bar sourcing from Northern Rivers producers. A room that smells of the orchard and sounds like the hinterland.
Four covered padel courts at ITF competition specification — the first luxury padel destination in the Byron Bay region. Court hire, coaching, social leagues, academy programmes, and tournament hosting built around a membership model that makes the sport a reason to come back.
In Spain there are 20,000+ padel clubs. In Australia, quality infrastructure barely exists. 70 Foxs Lane moves first, in Australia's most visited lifestyle destination.
Drawing from Roman bathhouse sequencing and Japanese onsen philosophy, the 70 Foxs Lane wellness centre is built around thermal contrast and a considered recovery journey. Every treatment begins and ends in the orchard.
Foxes Lane Apothecary products — formulated from estate botanicals — are woven through every treatment, connecting the spa to the 50 hectares of productive land that surrounds it.
The Picone Exotics orchard has been cultivating rare tropical fruits on the volcanic basalt soils of Tyagarah for decades. With over 300 exotic varieties across 50 productive hectares, it is the most diverse tropical fruit collection in Australia.
Many of these trees take 8 to 15 years to reach first fruit. The provenance, the genetics, the maturity — this cannot be purchased or replicated. It is the ground upon which everything here is built. Literally, and otherwise.
The orchard currently trades four mornings a week at farmers' markets across the Byron Shire — Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, New Brighton and Bangalow — where it has been connecting this land to the community for decades.
The yoga shala is embedded within the orchard canopy — open to the landscape, connected to the land beneath it, and designed around the principle that movement is most meaningful when it is witnessed by something older than you are.
A programme of daily classes, seasonal retreats, and private sessions supported by the wellness centre and spa team.
Eight minutes from Byron Bay CBD — close enough to access the town, far enough from it to breathe. Set in the volcanic basalt hinterland of Tyagarah, where the land produces the most extraordinary tropical fruit in the country.
