Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Murwillumbah is a beautiful historic township on the River Tweed located 45 minutes drive from iconic Byron Bay, 20 minutes to spectacular Norther Rivers beaches and 30 minutes to the Queensland Gold Coast. Sitting by the caldera of an extinct volcano, the town is surrounded by the jutting peaks, which include spectacular Mount Warning and the numerous national parks providing scenic walks, vistas, waterfalls and waterways. The caldera also provides the fertile soil supporting abundant fresh produce with the weekly Murwillumbah farmers market one of the best in the region. For the keen golfer, the towns beautiful golf course is less that one kilometer away. The now unused railway line, between Murwillumbah
and the coast, has recently been converted to a paved cycleway through small villages with bike hire available. Our home sits in a quiet residential area, only 5 minutes drive from the center of the town.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We would like our house to be in the same condition when we return to when we left and we would do the same ourselves. Due to the warm climate our plants would need watering every few days but aside from that you would be welcome to take advantage of our location and visit other parts of this beautiful country as you please. Should you like to travel further, let us know and we can make arrangement. Our daughter lives about half an hour away and would be available should you need any assistance.
