As fulltime liveaboards who spend a good part of the year in the marina, it is therapeutic to get away on a regular basis to enjoy some landtime.

For anyone visiting South East Queensland or Northern New South Wales, I’d like to share with you a hidden gem.

Imagine this; the day is coming to a close, the sun is beginning to slowly sink down behind Mt Warning, and you are sitting in your very own private outdoor spa bath, sipping a crisp, chilled, bubbly champagne while your seadog enjoys the scents of the garden and rolling in the grass. 

This place is real and is an affordable dream getaway.  Brecon Cabin is a lovely little bungalow located within the hills of the Tweed Valley, overlooking magnificent Mt Warning; an extinct volcano that erupted 23 million years ago. 

The cabin has recently been renovated and is best described as being humble, comfortable, modern and extremely private, separate from the main residence.  It’s not overly spacious but certainly suitable for a couple and a small to medium sized dog.   It felt like we were the only people on the entire property all weekend; except for the resident chickens who are such curious sweet girls and their protector, King Rooster.

Murwillumbah town centre is a short 7-minute drive away where you can enjoy cafes, galleries, amazing gelato and quaint little shops.  If you have the stamina, the trek up through the ancient rainforest to the Mount Warning’s peak is worth every moment.

We found it suited our needs perfectly; to get grounded, have a bath and enjoy the stillness of the countryside.  It is in a beautiful part of the world and worth the recommendation.
