You're in the heart of everything at the Surf Cottage in Pottsville on the NSW Tweed Coast. This original, old-school Queenslander is just 2-minutes' walk to the supermarket, cafes, restaurants/bars and metres to the Creek's sandy shores, Pottsville's Environment Park or the vast Pacific Ocean for a swim, surf, fish or morning walks .. all 20-minutes drive from Gold Coast International Airport. A holiday of old awaits, or use as a base for work or to explore the amazing Northern Rivers region. The Space The Surf Cottage harks back to another era, when living and spaces were simple. As one of the last-remaining Queenslanders in town and wholly original in design and features, you'll step back in time at the Surf Cottage in Pottsville Beach while in the heart of everything this increasingly-popular Tweed Coast village has to offer - shops, surf, beach and bush.

Pottsville, New South Wales, Australia: The Tweed Coast's best-kept secret Pottsville Beach - or 'Potty,' as locals like to call it - is fast getting discovered for the village's natural beauty and charm, its growing number of cool cafes and restaurants and its traditional, friendly 'beachy' vibe, all within reach of the sandy shores of Mooball Creek (ideal for families,) bushwalks in the Pottsville Environment Park or swimming, surfing and fishing in the vast Pacific Ocean (Pottsville North and South beaches are patrolled during peak seasons.) Drive or cycle to nearby Cabarita Beach or Kingscliff, it's a scenic 30-minute drive to the artsy, art-deco town of Murwillumbah - gateway to the lush Tweed Valley Hinterland - and just 25-minutes' drive to Byron Bay and Bangalow. Getting around: Everything you need in Pottsville is within short walking distance (~2-minutes) from The Surf Cottage - shops, cafes, markets, Creek, ocean - and the main bus stop. Take the 603 'Townie' bus for a magical tour of the Tweed Coast including Cabarita Beach, Casuarina, Salt Village and Kingscliff before arriving at Tweed City shopping centre with connecting bus services to the Gold Coast; Gold Coast International Airport; and train services to Brisbane.
