We asked Zeta Grealy, Owner of Origin House to share her insider tips on what she loves about The Tweed in Northern Rivers NSW.
alluxia: What do you love most about living in The Tweed…
Zeta: The uncluttered beauty of the Tweed is one of my favourite things. I’m lucky enough to wake up to a spectacular view across the hinterland to the ocean and the busiest traffic is a black cockatoo sweeping past my window.
The restaurant that best shows off The Tweed…
Is of course Potager. Walking through the kitchen garden starts me thinking about what I’ll order for a fabulous meal. And of course it’s so close I could walk there.
When friends are in town I take them for a drink at…
Husk Distillers is only 15 minutes away and it’s a lovely way to display the laid-back life style of the Tweed.
Couples wanting a romantic dinner for two should consider…
Tweed River House is a fabulous new restaurant in Murwillumbah. The décor and views overlooking Wollumbin Mt Warning make the perfect romantic venue.
The best breakfast spot is…
For years it has been hard to go past Choux Box at Kingscliff. Great food served by welcoming staff. And then you can wander down to Boardwalk Books and choose a great read for a lazy afternoon.
The best coffee can be found at…
I am biased but I drink coffee here, usually pour-over but if someone is visiting I turn on the espresso machine. Our single origin coffee is the basis of our farm stay and there’s always plenty supplied for guests to enjoy.
For the perfect gift or memento, I’d recommend shopping at…
M|Arts Precinct. There are some great artisans producing something a bit different.
The best markets can be explored at…
Murwillumbah Farmers Market every Wednesday.
For great art & culture visit…
Tweed Regional Art Gallery and the Tweed Regional Museum, both have outstanding exhibitions.
The best free activity in the region is…
Margaret Olley Exhibition at the Tweed Regional Art Gallery.
If it’s raining…
Head to the movies at the Regent Cinema Murwillumbah or the Cinemax at Kingscliff where there’s often an arthouse selection.
What’s the “Must See” attraction in The Tweed…
The Tweed Valley. Just drive west from Condong through the cane fields towards Chillingham. Anytime of day is great but late afternoon has a special glow.
The Tweed's best kept secret is….
Everywhere
Your favourite weekend getaway…
Melbourne for a complete change. I love the grunge and the laneways.
Favourite travel discovery in the last 12 months…
As Covid has stopped me travelling I have realised that travel is an essential part of my being.
