It's time to tickle the silence

The space
Welcome to Bird’s Nest Studio. Nestled directly on the Tweed River waterfront, with sweeping views of Wollumbin (Mount Warning), this exquisitely designed serene two bedroom cabin offers space for both creative flow and deep rest.

Whether you’re here to paint, write, read, or simply observe the birds and river dolphins glide by, Bird’s Nest is a space to tickle the silence.

Other things to note
*The private bathroom is a separate 'pod' approximately 2.5m from the living space, bridged by an outdoor undercover area. Bathrobes and slippers are provided. This is not unusual to us, as our family home in the Byron Hinterland - also listed on airbnb https://www.airbnb.com/l/XBd1IUZC - is made up of several separate buildings, with indoor and covered outdoor areas flowing seamlessly, but we understand this sort of Asian pavilion style living is not always familiar to guests.

**No parties or loud music. 🙏

Neighbourhood highlights

Ideally located just 5-mins drive from Tweed Heads, 10-mins from Coolangatta/Gold Coast Airport, 45-mins from Byron Bay and 1.5hrs from Brisbane, on the stunning Tweed coast of Northern New South Wales, Australia.

Bird’s Nest Studio is located on the Tweed River in the township of Chinderah, less than 4km from the beautiful beaches of Fingal Head and Kingscliff.

Wollumbin - the extinct remains of an ancient volcano which shaped the whole region - and the lush sub-tropical rainforests of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wollumbin National Park are a meandering 45-min drive into the hinterland, via the art/design town of Murwillumbah.

Good food is a way of life in the Tweed….we grow it, harvest it, prepare it and share it, so it’s no surprise that the Tweed Food and Wine trail is in a class of its own. The Tweed Foodie’s guide is a must have for visitors.
