Getting Around:

By Car:



- From your tiny home at 253 Palmvale Rd, Palmvale NSW, it takes approximately 7 hours and 45 minutes to drive to Sydney.

- The Gold Coast Airport is about 30 minutes away, Byron Bay is around 35 minutes, Cabarita Beach is 15 minutes, Murwillumbah is 18 minutes, and Mullumbimby is about 40 minutes by car.



If you're coming from Sydney, best to travel By Air + Car:



- Fly from Sydney Airport (SYD) to Gold Coast Airport (OOL) or Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK) — both are closer airports to the Tweed region.

- From the airport, rent a car and drive the remaining distance (~45–90 minutes from Gold Coast or ~60–90 minutes from Ballina). This is often quicker overall than driving the whole distance, especially if you want to save time.
