Despite not being as well-known as Ballina and Byron Bay, Alstonville is a peaceful vacation spot surrounded by beautiful green land that is highly recommended for nature lovers. The rich soil in Alstonville contributes to magnificent plantations of various crops and tropical fruits. On top of that, Alstonville is also proud of being the location where the world’s first commercial macadamia trees orchard was planted. Thanks to that, Alstonville is now one of the region’s largest macadamia trees orchard industries. Don’t forget to drop by some of the fruit stalls along the way to try out the delicious local fruits for yourself! Interested to plan a trip to Alstonville now? Here are the top Airbnb vacation rentals we choose for your accommodation consideration.

8. Studio located 2-minute away from Alstonville Town
This studio is just a two-minute drive from Alstonville town. It comes with a bedroom and a private bathroom. You’ll find cooking utilities and a veranda with a full set of barbecue tools. However, do note that despite having WiFi in the studio, the connection is not the best. The accommodation is recommended especially for travelers who intend to separate themselves from their hectic daily obligations. You will also have access to the pool, but you may be advised not to use it after 9 p.m.so perhaps then it will be a good time for you to have a simple barbecue session during the night hours, all the while enjoying the peaceful green nature surrounding the house.
