The home at 9 Brownell Drive, Byron Bay, is a split-level four-bedroom home, 100 metres' walk from Wategos Beach, and above the walking track, but under the Cape Byron Lighthouse on Australia's most easterly headland.
Its peak season nightly rental rate has been $1,429.

Byron Bay is 800 kilometres north of Sydney and 170 kilometres south of Brisbane.
It's a prestige trophy home street. Social commentator Craig McGregor and his wife, Jane, sold their Wategos Beach property on the street for $4,475,000 in 2009. Their four-bedroom Brownell Drive house was Ian McKay's first Byron Bay architectural commission. It had been their retreat for 30 years and their permanent home since they sold in Bondi Junction in 2000. It came with a Terry Dorrough-designed addition. It was on the market for six months before Gold Coast orthopaedic surgeon Dr Stephen Rackemann bought it through First National agent Chris Hanley.
At 17 Brownell Drive architect Christine Vadasz designed a distinctive house high above Wategos Beach in 1995.
The street's most recent sale was $5.9 million in May last year when the Peter Stutchbury-designed Wing house was sold.
