Don’t settle for mediocre digs on your upcoming Tweed Coast holiday. From sleek ocean-facing apartments to chic vintage boutiques, we’re covering the five best places to stay in Cabarita Beach.

The best bit?

Luxury living doesn’t mean missing out on precious beach time. All these outstanding accommodations lie within stumbling distance of the sand.

The Beach Cabarita 

How does a slick apartment overlooking the ocean sound?

With an enviable location right by the water, this swanky family-friendly complex hosts a slew of two, three, and four-bedroom apartments. Most stylish self-contained units have an ocean view, so you can sip a coldie with a scenic backdrop on the balcony come sundown.

Guests get direct access to the beach for leisurely impromptu swims. If you don’t fancy getting sandy, take a dip in one of its three inviting outdoor pools or soak in the heated spa.

Halcyon House 

The Tweed’s glitziest boutique resides right here in Cabarita Beach. Dubbed Halcyon House, this vintage stunner boasts brilliant boho-chic interiors courtesy of designer Anna Spiro, who individually decorated each room with eye-popping décor. Fancy some fresh air? Step out onto your private balcony overlooking the iconic communal pool.

But there’s more to Halcyon House than its glam mid-century aesthetic. At the chefs-hatted in-house restaurant, Paper Daisy, Executive Chef Jason Barratt plates up a smorgasbord of mouth-watering delicacies using fresh regional ingredients. What’s more, wellness aficionados will adore the soothing on-site spa.

The Hideaway Cabarita Beach

Camping doesn’t have to mean roughing it. Located mere metres from the sand, this hip little beachside hideaway houses a selection of luxurious safari-style tents.

Within each beige bell-shaped canvas, guests get a comfy Koala Mattress bed, a mini bar fridge, boho décor, and an ice-cold A/C. Outside, sparkling clean bathrooms reside within recycled shipping containers—they’re a far cry from the stinky pit dunnies of a traditional campground.

And during the busier month, a lively pop-up bar offers a sociable space to mingle with fellow glampers.

Cabarita Beachfront Apartments 

Across the road from Norries Cove, these affordable seaside apartments give you instant access to one of Tweed’s most scenic beaches. If surfing is more your jam, simply stroll a few minutes north and swim out past the breakers on Cabarita Beach.

Each self-contained, two-bedroom apartment comes with a well-equipped kitchen and in-room laundry. Mosy down to the tropical garden for a splash in the saltwater pool or to smash the kids in a game of ping pong.

The reasonable nightly fee is based on a per-person rate, making this a viable option for value-seeking couples.

Caba Break

Bigger groups will adore the intimate vibes at Caba Break, a tiny boutique hosting just four fully-furnished apartments. While the property is small, the units are anything but. Each four-bedroom apartment sleeps up to 10 guests, perfect for extended family holidays and corporate retreats.

Architecturally designed interiors, next-level amenities, and spacious light-filled rooms make this an idyllic option for a relaxing Cabarita break.
