At Temple Hangars, the best advice is to sleep with the curtains open. As early morning mist gradually lifts across the rolling hills of the Byron Bay hinterland, the sky shifts from a delicate grey mauve to reveal subtropical rainforest awash in a soft, luminous glow. Witnessing this dawn show unfold from the comfort of a king-sized bed is easily one of the stay’s simplest and most rewarding pleasures.
Temple Hangars, which opened to guests in June, is a collection of four dome-shaped cabins on Lawrence and Alita Temple’s rewilded Nashua farm in the NSW Northern Rivers region. The couple created the adult-only micro retreat as an extension to the wildly popular Temple Farmhouse, which is on the same 30 hectares of wildlife corridors and restored Big Scrub rainforest. All four cabins sit harmoniously in the landscape, each partially oriented towards the west for sunsets and gentle wake-ups.
