Murwillumbah is the heart of the Tweed Shire. With a population of over 8,000 people, it is an historic art deco town with many buildings dating back to 1920.
Located on the banks of the Tweed River and nestled in the volcanic caldera of Mount Warning, Murwillumbah is renowned for its picturesque setting.
Earlier industry focused on cedar getting and dairy farming. However more recently the focus is on sugarcane farming, tourism, light industry, and the creative arts.
Murwillumbah is the commercial capital of the region, with a hospital, medical and health services, banking facilities, accounting professionals, a variety of interesting shops, and several art galleries. A major draw card to the town is the Tweed Regional Art Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre.
Small and medium businesses are the backbone of the Murwillumbah economy. We have a well-established light industrial area on the outskirts of town, made up of many very successful businesses, some distributing their products both nationally and internationally. The CBD of Murwillumbah has a wide variety of shops and interesting places to eat.
Murwillumbah and the surrounding villages are renowned for their creativity with the region having the largest number of artists per capita in Australia.

What their clients say: ‘Adrianna and Paul were incredibly helpful. It's not often that you can say that compassion comes into the process of buying a new home, but they have it in droves. They were honest and to the point, prompt in replying and always pleasant. They made the process easier for us.’ – Michelle, Dustin and Madeleine.
‘We couldn’t recommend Adrianna and Paul highly enough. Having entrusted our beautiful home to them to sell, we were delighted with their professionalism and class. They kept us informed, respected us, and paid due respect to our property. From the outset, they had a firm marketing plan, which achieved a sale we could only have dreamed of. These two are an awesome team and we would invite anyone who is wanting a stress-free process with sincere and dedicated agents, to engage them to get the job done.’ – Rod and Llewelyn
