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.

The Tweed Foodie’s guide is a must have for visitors. Here are a handful of our favourite foody, arty hangs.
