Private Home
Old Myrtle
East Lismore, NSW, Australia
The Space
Old Myrtle sits on an isolated property in the Northern Rivers with no immediate neighbours. The fully renovated 1930s character home is unfurnished throughout, giving production teams a clean base for custom set dressing and period-specific styling.
The interior retains original architectural details and period character, restored rather than replicated, with finishes intact enough to hold a straight period read or take dressing for other eras. Empty rooms mean floor plans can be reconfigured freely between setups without working around furniture placement.
Outside, the property shifts tone considerably. A cluster of weathered sheds and outbuildings sit across the block in varying states of disrepair, offering rougher textures and darker framing than the interior. The sheds are structurally safe and fully accessible for filming, while reading as abandoned on camera. The isolation removes ambient noise and passing traffic, useful for sensitive audio recording and night shoots involving lighting rigs or effects work, and gives crews privacy for high-profile talent. The contrast between the restored home and the raw outbuildings gives crews two distinct visual registers on the one property.
The scale of the property, house plus multiple outbuildings across an isolated block, comfortably accommodates larger crews and equipment, with space for base camp setup, marquees, and production vehicle staging. As a dry hire, Old Myrtle is a genuine blank canvas, ready for productions to bring their own set dressing and equipment.
