The Hemsworth clan were attracted to the marketing hype surrounding the listing of Byron’s most expensive resort, Ohana.
Not that Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky would necessarily be interested in buying a Broken Head show, but there seems to be a cozy camaraderie in the yard between the neighboring families.

“Sometimes their donkeys will run wild,” Ohana seller Russell Staley advised.
He added: “And sometimes their dogs come down and say hello.”
Staley’s nine-hectare offering is located between the Hemsworth complex and Seven Mile Beach.
The property features a series of low, interconnected pavilions designed by Virginia Kerridge and constructed by Belvardi for the former president of deepwater oil exploration company Benthic Geotech and his wife, Jennifer.

Ohana House, on Seven Mile Beach in Byron Bay. The property is located next to the family estate of Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky.
The accommodation can accommodate 28 people.
Set behind jungles and sand dunes, the suites appear to be inspired by the Palm Springs Kaufman desert home designed by architect Richard Neutra in 1946.
The grounds feature a resort-style pool, tennis court, basketball court, and half-pipe skateboards.

Ohana is expected to set a new Byron record currently held by the $33.65 million paid for The Range space at Emma and Tom Lane at Coopers Shoot last year by a fund linked to technology entrepreneur Ben Bray. The Lanes also recently listed another luxury ranch, Bangalow’s Copperstone, with a $37 million guide.
The grounds feature a resort-style pool, tennis court, basketball court, and half-pipe skateboards.

The Hemsworth family set a Broken Head record, paying $7 million in 2014 for a 4.2-hectare plot of land on the shared dirt road that leads to both properties.
Staley’s nine-hectare offering is located between the Hemsworth complex and Seven Mile Beach.
