Where Every Day Feels Like a Vacation Pottsville is a charming family-oriented coastal town set at the mouth of Mooball creek. The local creeks and beaches are ideal for kayaking, fishing, and swimming, and boast a large variety of Australian wildlife. Explore the many walking tracks and nature reserves and try your luck at spotting the koalas that call this area home. The community comes together for local Sunday markets on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.
If you’re traveling with children or pets, you’ll be pleased to know that our property is fully fenced with a secure outdoor area and there is a dog-friendly Black Rocks beach. Feel free to use the beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, boogie boards and bikes provided. We have plenty of amenities to keep the little ones entertained, including games, toys, and books.
Our beautiful spacious home features a private outdoor area, providing the perfect place to relax and soak up the sunshine. Whether you’re enjoying a BBQ with friends, reading a book, or just savoring your morning coffee, you’ll love spending time in this peaceful space.
The town is situated on the beach with an amazing creek to swim, snorkel, paddle boarding and fishing and spend hours of fun in. There is also a boat ramp and walking & bike tracks and also a large children’s playground nearby, Pottsville is a great family friendly town and close to the famous Rail Trail which goes from Murwillumbah to Mooball. Make sure you experience the creek at high tide – especially incoming tide (1-3 hours before high tide) – where you can walk to the creek mouth, jump in and float down the creek without lifting a finger! When the weather I clear and sunny, the water colour resembles Fiji it is so stunning!
There is a ‘creek beach’ on the north side of the creek which is great for kids! You can access from Tweed Coast Road and the walking track to the creek beach next to Ambrose Brown Park/playground. Again, incoming high tide is always best for the creek as it is tidal and flows in from the ocean (rather than the outgoing tide which brings water from further inland which can be murkier). The local creek is stunning and perfect for families with young kids. Spend your days building sandcastles, catching crabs & floating out with the tide.
Pottsville has a variety of family-owned shops and restaurants such as, Potty Mouth Pizza and the Pottsville Tavern, IGA, chemist, a great butcher, supermarkets, bakeries and newsagency. We recommend you must try the Izakaya Potts Japanese restaurant the food is delicious! Otherwise, there is the award-winning Pipit Restaurant if you’re looking for a luxury 5-course meal, the bar or fish and chip shop, or the Thai, Chinese and Mexican Restaurant.
Further afield, guests can relax at some of the country’s best beaches, escape to nature in the hinterland and explore the region’s vibrant culinary scene – including venues like Husk Distillery, Fins, Tweed River House, Paper Daisy and Pipit. The Tweed Coast is at the center of the Tweed/Byron region and is an easy 35 minutes’ drive from Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, Murwillumbah, Coolangatta/Gold Coast Airport, Mt. Warning National Park and the Southern Gold Coast. Explore beautiful pristine beaches with great surf, hinterland villages with quaint cafes and shops, national parks and wildlife, world class restaurants and a variety of cuisines.
Enjoy the quiet of coastal living in Pottsville, perfect for families, couples or groups of friends seeking a peaceful and relaxing vacation.

Exceptional holiday rental where every detail has been thought of. It felt like a home away from home. Our dog was safe in the secure back yard, the kids loved the games and toys, everything is well presented and comfortable. You can walk to the beach and creek and its a very short drive to town. We had a perfect holiday... and everybody loved the honey gift too!
Beautiful house and made to feel extremely welcome - only improvement we could suggest would be ceiling fans

Tammy was a great property manager once we arrived at the house but very difficult to get hold of prior to arrival. The house has no fans, no aircon, is nowhere near to the usable part of the creek and in a very suburban residential part of Pottsville. We had to drive everywhere even for a coffee some kms away. We also suggest you make it known that you keep bees on the property as one of us was allergic to bees which caused us a lot of stress when they came inside the house . The quality of pillows and beds could do with a serious upgrade . On a very positive note, the owners left a well stocked kitchen which made up for everything else . Overall we enjoyed our stay but would not choose to return . Thankyou
