Model Elyse Knowles buys $2.3million Byron Bay beach house

Elyse Knowles has bought a $2.3million beach house in Byron Bay. 

The 27-year-old moved to the New South Wales coastal town early last year with boyfriend Josh Barker, renting until they recently found their forever home. 

Their new 1960s built property is located in the old part of Byron Bay town, just a short walk from the main beach and surrounded by tranquil greenery.

The house boasts four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two levels and spacious veranda. 

According to The Sunday Telegraph, former The Block winners Elyse and Josh will be renovating the property, likely with their own company, J & E Projects. 

They’ve been renting a nearby property for the last year, which they decorated with rustic and bohemian-style furniture.

Last year, Elyse told Daily Mail Australia that the couple moved to Byron Bay from Melbourne while chasing a more sustainable lifestyle for themselves. 

Speaking at an event in September, the model explained she’d physically confront strangers that she would see littering in Victoria, before eventually leaving. 

‘I just can’t see it being left on the ground. And when they’re dropping rubbish, I think they need to be told off,’ explained the activist.

Elyse first felt compelled to speak about environmental issues while living in Melbourne, where she saw the devastating effects of plastic pollution daily.

‘I was walking on the beaches and, dependent on the weather, it really circulated the rubbish each day to come onto the beach. It was just too much for me to pick up. It made me sad and also really annoyed that people were just dropping it,’ she said.

After relocating to Byron Bay in January 2019 with Josh, the star went on to claim the contrast to living in Melbourne was overwhelming: ‘Everyone always smiles and always say hello. That was one of the first things I noticed living [in Byron].’

‘The community is more environmentally conscious. It is conversations that people have every single day… talking about the ocean and the marine life.

The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...
