The Hemsworth family has been caught up in the hype surrounding the listing of Byron’s most expensive getaway, Ohana.

Ohana seller Russell Staley advised, “Sometimes donkeys get dazed.”
“And sometimes the puppies come down and say hello,” he added.
The 9-hectare Staley property is located between Hemsworth’s estate and Seven Mile Beach.
The facility includes a series of low, interconnected pavilions designed by Virginia Kerridge, built by Belwalde for the former chairman of deep-sea oil drilling business Bencik Geotech and his wife Jennifer.

Set behind bushes and sand dunes, the pavilion was likely inspired by the Palm Springs Kaufman Desert House, designed in 1946 by architect Richard Neutra.
The grounds include a resort-style pool, tennis court, basketball court, and skateboard halfpipe.
