Este Estate

Carved gracefully into the Wategos hillside, Este Estate is a rare fusion of design, nature and tranquillity. Recognised among Byron Bay’s most exclusive holiday residences, this private dual-home sanctuary embodies coastal sophistication at its finest.

Every element of Este has been thoughtfully curated to evoke calm and connection. Designed by award-winning architect Shaun Lockyer, the residence celebrates craftsmanship, texture and harmony with its surroundings. Expansive glass walls frame the shifting hues of the Pacific, while sculpted surfaces and soft, tonal palettes mirror the natural landscape beyond. Across every level, beauty and balance converge inviting guests to pause, breathe and embrace the art of slow living in effortless style.

Across multiple levels, the estate comprises two fully self-contained residences - Este North and Este South connected by lift access and harmoniously designed for flexibility and flow. Open-plan living spaces spill onto terraces, a private rainforest courtyard, and a spectacular rooftop oasis. Here, a temperature-controlled pool, lounge, bar, and dining area overlook the ocean - creating the perfect setting for long afternoons, golden sunsets, and evenings under the stars.

Nestled between the lush Byron hinterland and the soft sands of Wategos Beach, Este Estate captures the essence of coastal elegance. From sunrise swims to sunset gatherings, every moment here feels effortless — refined, grounded, and deeply restorative.
