Liam Hemsworth isn't exactly roughing it during Byron Bay's snap COVID lockdown.

The 31-year-old actor is holed up in his sprawling hinterland property with his model girlfriend, Gabriella Brooks, after purchasing the home in December for $6.5million.

According to a report by realestate.com.au at the time, the home of the youngest Hemsworth brother was once a wedding venue.

The 3.87 hectare property is situated in the Newrybar hinterland, and boasts five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a sprawling outdoor entertainment area and pool.

The house also has two separate wings built around the swimming pool, tropical gardens and a lawn bowls area.

It can even accommodate three helicopters on the lawn, and is the most expensive property ever sold in Newrybar by over $2million.

In a May 2016 interview with GQ Australia, The Hunger Games star spoke about preferring a quiet lifestyle.

'I grew up by the beach, surfing, and I'm much more conditioned to that sort of lifestyle... I wanted to get back to the beach, I needed it, to be by the water and to be able to go surfing,' he said.

Meanwhile, Liam's older brothers Chris and Luke also own homes in Byron Bay.

The move came after a Sydney man, who tested positive for coronavirus, travelled to Byron Bay at the end of July.

According to Byron Shire Mayor Michael Lyon, the man was inspecting property in the area, but didn't check in with QR codes.

While Greater Sydney has been in lockdown since June 26, people are granted exemptions if they are travelling to 'inspect a potential new place of residence'.

'All I'm prepared to say about our traveller to Byron is the police are looking extremely closely at what he was doing in that area,' NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard told media on Tuesday. 

Mr Hazzard was also asked if exemptions around real estate needed to be tightened after NSW recorded an additional 356 COVID cases on Tuesday.

'What worries me is no matter what legal orders or requirements are in place, you can't legislate against stupidity, arrogance and entitlement,' he said.
