The Hemsworth clan have been drawn into the marketing hype surrounding the listing of the Byron district’s priciest retreat, Ohana.
Not because Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky will necessarily be interested in buying the Broken Head offering, but it seems there is a cosy barnyard friendship shared between the neighbouring families.
“Sometimes their donkeys get loose,” advised the Ohana vendor Russell Staley.
“And sometimes their puppies come down and say hello,” he added.
The nine-hectare Staley offering sits between the Hemsworth’s compound and Seven Mile Beach.
The property features a Virginia Kerridge-designed series of lowset, interconnected pavilions constructed by Bellevarde for the former chairman of deep-water oil-drilling business Benthic Geotech and his wife Jennifer.
