Artisan Homewares
One of Newrybar’s biggest drawcards is its selection of homewares and fashion; from antiques to on-trend homeware stores like Luther & Co and Drift Lab. But none other are quite like Newrybar Merchants, a collective of local artisans and curators of fine goods. Housed inside a beautifully restored vintage cottage, Newrybar Merchants is home to Tigmi Trading, Imprint House, Small Wonder, Alcana, and Our Little Flower Farm.
Foodie Haven
Taste the flavours of the Byron region in a town that loves homegrown produce and foraging for food; from macadamias to tropical fruits to coffee beans. Buy straight from the farm gate, in the local markets or head to Harvest Café and Deli for country-style cooking with ingredients straight from their edible gardens; and let’s not forget their wood-fired sourdough which has people travelling from all over to get their fill.
More and more, people are looking to Newrybar for a quiet countryside escape from the bustle of Byron Bay. A place where they can retreat to while still having all the perks of the coastal town. But what makes Newrybar the place that it is, is the community of like-minded creatives, farmers, and young families, all of who have a lust for life’s natural side.
