Explore the NSW Coast!

Discover the quiet estuaries, charming villages, gorgeous beaches and World Heritage wilderness surrounding this north coast gem. The Tweed Coast has something for everyone.

We immerse ourselves in the diverse cultural experience that is Byron Bay, with people from all walks of life calling Byron home. It is a melting pot of surfers, hippies, artists and the rich and famous, creating a unique atmosphere. From mountain backdrops, amazing beaches, fine food, and racy nightlife, Byron has adventures for everyone.

We like to describe Evans Head as the jewel in the crown of NSW. Located 1 hour south of Byron, this is a scenic fishing village located on the banks of the Evans River. In this spot, we get uncrowded waves to surf all day long.

On our way back up the coast, we spend some time around the Tweed Coast. This is truly a surfer’s paradise littered with endless beautiful beaches to make our surf adventure something unique.

Your sense of adventure

"We were a family of 5 who booked our really easy lesson.
They gave us clear instructions on where to meet which was helpful.
Our instructor Alex was super friendly and helpful when we arrived. He gave us easy-to-understand instructions on all aspects of learning to surf.
In the water Alex was amazing, helping each of us catch a wave. He made it enjoyable and all of us had a great time.
And we all managed to surf 🏄‍♀️

I would highly recommend this retreat."
