Through the Keyhole: MICALO, Yamba
Welcome to Micalo Yamba, the very first feature in our Through the Keyhole – Design Tour series with our director, Melissa Bonney from The Designory.
Located on the Clarence River just before the town of Yamba, Micalo is no ordinary holiday home. Designed by Taliah Lowry of Byron Beach Abodes, this boutique retreat is nothing short of breathtaking — a destination in itself, and the ultimate backdrop for rest, connection, and celebration.
A Home Designed for Gatherings
Micalo is a rare property that combines scale, style, and intimacy. With space to sleep up to 20 guests, the home offers five luxurious master suites, a private studio, and six beautifully appointed bathrooms. It’s a place designed for togetherness — whether you’re gathering with family, celebrating with friends, or simply escaping for a much-needed break.
Luxury Meets Lifestyle
What sets Micalo apart is not just its scale, but its sheer variety of experiences. Beyond the interiors, you’ll find:
Your very own golf course for sun-soaked afternoons.
A private bar, pool, spa, and sauna for relaxation and play.
Expansive indoor and outdoor living areas that flow seamlessly together.
A dedicated media room for nights in, movies, or even kids’ retreats.
It’s a home where every corner invites you to slow down, recharge, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures in extraordinary style.
Design That Inspires
While the amenities are spectacular, it’s the design that truly captures our hearts. Taliah Lowry’s signature approach — refined, layered, and grounded in natural textures — gives Micalo a sense of warmth and sophistication. The architecture embraces its riverfront setting, with wide open views and spaces that feel connected to both water and landscape.
Why Micalo is Unforgettable
Micalo isn’t just a holiday home — it’s a complete experience. From lazy poolside afternoons to long communal dinners, sunrise yoga on the lawn to evenings spent by the fire, it’s a property designed to bring people together in the most beautiful way.
For us at The Designory, Micalo embodies what thoughtful design can achieve: a space that feels both luxurious and relaxed, timeless yet deeply connected to its environment.
