About this space

Set in the heart of Bangalow’s lush hinterland, Mahalo House is a beautifully restored Queenslander that balances heritage character with contemporary ease. With its elevated design, tropical gardens, and thoughtfully styled interiors, this expansive property is made for shoot days that need both visual depth and flexibility.

Over four years of careful restoration have transformed Mahalo House into a seamless blend of past and present. Inside, fresh white walls and polished timber floors create a calm, light-filled base, layered with curated furnishings and one-of-a-kind homewares sourced from both the Byron region and beyond. The styling feels relaxed yet intentional—never overdone—making it easy to adapt for lifestyle shoots, fashion campaigns, or wellness content.

With five bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home offers multiple usable zones across its footprint. The open-plan layout encourages flow, with styled nooks and airy transitions that suit both wide framing and detailed close-ups. The wraparound deck—Mahalo’s signature feature—anchors the space with multiple lounging and al fresco dining zones, all overlooking tropical gardens and mature trees (you might even spot the resident koala).

Outside, a large private garden wraps around a swimming pool, outdoor shower, fire pit, and wood-fired pizza oven—each a shoot-ready backdrop in its own right. Whether you’re chasing dappled afternoon light near the palms, golden hour by the pool, or styled tablescapes under cover, the options are generous and beautifully framed by nature.

Located in Bangalow, just 15 minutes inland from Byron Bay, Mahalo House is easily accessible but tucked away enough to offer calm and privacy throughout the day. With onsite parking, multiple power access points, and full-day hire options, it’s a practical choice for teams who want to shoot without interruption in a visually rich, thoughtfully maintained space.

From eComm to editorial, this Queenslander is built for creative use. Mahalo House invites you to slow down, stretch out, and capture something special—every corner has a moment, and every frame tells a story.
