Where to stay
ACCOMODATION
We strongly encourage you to book your flights and accommodation ASAP - the Northern Rivers is a popular spot over the holiday season!
We will have a bus will stopping at Cabarita, Kingscliff, and Coolangatta, so staying in one of those beachside towns is your best bet for easy travel to and from the celebrations.
We’ve also got space for tents and vans in the top paddock so let us know if you’d like to claim a spot.
Prefer something a little different? There are plenty of other lovely options nearby - from riverside gems like Murwillumbah, Tumbulgum, and Tweed Heads, to the bright lights of the Gold Coast.

Getting there
Getting to the Northern Rivers
Gold Coast (Coolangatta) Airport (OOL) is is the closest option if you're coming from interstate - just a 20-minute drive away, with affordable flights from Jetstar and Virgin Australia.
Ballina Byron Gateway (BNK) Airport is another option for those travelling domestically and is about 1 hr drive.
Brisbane Airport (BNE) - is the closest for international travellers (1hr 30 minute drive), but all major city airports will have connections to the Gold Coast.
Getting to the wedding
We will be organising a bus to and from the wedding stopping at Cabarita, Kingscliff and Coolangatta.
If you want to drive your own car, take the Tweed Valley Way exit from the Pacific Highway (M1) towards Tourist Drive 40/Murwillumbah. Turn left onto Cudgen Rd which will become Duranbah Rd.
Follow this until you see Loders Rd (single lane) on your left and follow this until the end where you'll see a big green shed on your right.
Parking: there will be parking in the top paddock. Follow the signs and go through the gate to the left hand side of the big green shed.
