Murwillumbah accommodation from AU$149

Murwillumbah is the perfect place to enjoy the local area, so take a hike into nature through any of the five World Heritage-listed national parks – there are heaps of tracks to follow. For a real challenge climb Mt. Warning, the highest peak in the region. Then once you're back in town grab a coffee and some lunch at one of the gourmet cafes lining the laidback streets. The relaxed vibes make it so easy to kick back and enjoy the slow pace of life with a bit of people-watching.

The art scene in Murwillumbah is a masterpiece in action, with many local artists and galleries showcasing their work. The Tweed River Art Gallery is the largest, focusing on Australian portraits and landscapes of the beautiful Tweed Valley region. For something a little different, the Sauce Studio houses works from the graffiti and mural artist Sauce, in a variety of styles. The Red Rattlers Gallery is also worth a visit. Housed in two fully restored train carriages from 1928, it's a wonderful place to spend your afternoon. Here you can shop for some unique gifts and local craft items, while checking out the range of stained glass and handcrafted pottery on display.

Bring your boat and enjoy a day on the Clarrie Hall Dam, though only sails, electric motors or paddle-powered boats are permitted. If you don't have a boat you can hire kayaks and escape to tranquil parts of the dam. Stocked with Australian Bass, it's a fisherman's paradise, as well as being the home to many protected species of birds. The grassy parks are also brilliant spots for a picnic, some bird watching or a just a lazy afternoon by the water’s edge.
