On the water

The river is flat, sheltered and generous with flathead and whiting; boats need no licence and come with the crab pots half the guests are really here for. Anchor under cane-field banks, swim off the duckboard, watch the mountain change colour.

Around the Tweed

The river winds toward Tumbulgum’s pub and Murwillumbah’s art-deco streets, with the caldera’s rainforest all around — and Byron Bay is under an hour south when you hand the boat back.
