Our beautiful location here at Cabarita Beach is ideally positioned to explore this extraordinary region of Northern New South Wales. On the following pages I have put
together some ideas that may be of interest to you. Please feel free to do as much or as little as you would like during your stay at Halcyon House, it is up to you!
Mornings are a perfect time for exploring the area and a walk to the top of Norries Headland for breathtaking views and possible sightings of dolphins, turtles and the majestic humpback whales (from June through to November).
A wonderful way to experience the local community is to utilise one of the Halcyon bikes and head north along the winding path that connects Cabarita to Kingscliff.
Byron Bay, Bangalow, Murwillumbah, Brunswick Heads, Kingscliff and Newrybar are all located within 40 minutes of Halcyon House
and make perfect destinations for day trips and exploring.
Halcyon House is situated in a beautiful part of the world and we want to help you experience the best it has to offer, so please let us know if
there is anything we can organise for you throughout your stay.
