Step back in time and dine at the newly renovated Tweed River House

09 Feb 2022

If walls could talk, Tweed River House would have one heck of a tale to tell. The magnificent manor, nestled at the foothills of the winding Tweed Caldera in Murwillumbah, is a hallmark of yesteryear.

Now, the residence on the river has been given a new lease on life as a beautiful bistro and bar. If you've been hanging out for a date day with a difference, consider this your cordial invitation to check out the recently opened Tweed River House. more
