Depending on the season, guests can help themselves to plums, citrus, lychees, persimmons, mulberries, strawberry guavas, mangoes, macadamias, lilly pilly berries as well as herbs from the small but bountiful herb garden. Guests on their walks through the undulating property might be lucky to see platypus sunning or echidna foraging.
There are endless nights when you imagine you can pick stars from the sky. The brilliant colours at twilight are accompanied by families of wild ducks flying to the dams, bush pigeons scratching for food and kookaburras and galahs winging their way to roost. This property is a nature and garden lover's pick-me-up! Pets are welcome - please notify the size and type of pet and whether a pet gate is needed for the verandah.

Local Attractions:

The valley road ends in open pasture and working banana plantations. The General Store, opened in 1890, invites you to remember a bygone era. The old Community Hall was the first Macedonian Church in Australia. A Chinese market garden existed and in the 1950s the area was farmed by many Italian families. Today the Community Hall is the social focus for locals. It celebrated its centenary in Sept 2008.
Weekend markets are always somewhere close and spectacular Wooyung Beach is only 10 minutes drive from Crabbes Creek Cottages. If you want to "get away from it all" then this may be the place for you. Fishing and surfing are the main attractions at this long stretch of isolated beach. From Wooyung you can see north to Tweed Heads and south to Byron Bay lighthouse. The beach is an ideal place to whale watch mid-year.
Crabbes Creek provides a convenient and ideal respite from music & other festivals such as Splendour in the Grass, Blues and Roots in Byron Bay, Speed on Tweed in Murwillumbah, Writers\' Festivals, National Cycling events, Brunswick Heads \"Fish & Chips\" & the Poker Championships at Billinudgel.

Guests need their own transport and detailed directions will be forwarded by email. Crabbes Creek Cottages has a negotiated rate with Europcar. Please ask for details. The nearest airport is Gold Coast/Coolangatta, but Ballina is also an option - about 45 mins south of Crabbes Creek.
