THE PERFECT WEEKEND AT HOME
THE PERFECT WEEKEND IN CABARITA BEACH AND ITS SURROUNDS
There truly is no place like home! Especially when you’re lucky enough to live in an area like ours.
We live in Cabarita Beach, a sleepy beach side town in Northern NSW. Nestled 20 minutes South of the Gold Coast and 30 minutes North of Byron Bay, you honestly can get the best of all worlds.
However, we believe, to have a weekend of good food, relaxation and a little luxe doesn’t require much travel at all!
Of course, for the perfect weekend, we will be staying at Grounds of Cabarita, our home, and with complete bias our favourite place in Cabarita Beach! But never fear, you can stay here too!
FRIDAY
Afternoon:
- Head to Farm and Co. in Cudgen (5-10 minute drive away) to stock up on amazing fresh, locally grown, organic fruit and vegetables. Wander around the farm and get that insta worthy sunflower snap if they are blooming at the time!
- Head to Emmanuel’s wineshop in Kingscliff and get a couple of nice drops for the weekend
- Come home and relax by the pool and have a swim
Dinner:
- Invite some friends over, light the pizza oven and cook at home.
- Followed by a movie or more often than not an early night!
SATURDAY
Morning:
- Wake up nice and early (not entirely our choice)
- Walk to Casuarina (approx 4km, 45 minutes to 1 hour), but we won’t judge if you drive instead
Brunch:
- Tucker Casuarina. Order the Green Eggs at Tucker if you're feeling well behaved or the matcha hotcakes if you’re feeling a little naughty. (Disclaimer: my husband is one of the owners of Tucker so we are totally biased but it is seriously good!)
- Go shopping at Nikkou Store just next door. A beutifually curated store full of women’s and kids clothes and stunning homewares (Another disclaimer: my best friend's store, but once again I promise its incredible!) If you mention that you heard of the store through this post or enter SVPEARCE10 on their online store you get 10% off!
Afternoon:
- Spend the afternoon on the beach in Cabarita. Pick the beach and nook based on the wind and settle in. Why not take a cheeky bottle of champas down and some nibbles. We honestly have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world here!
Dinner:
- Spice Den in Casuarina. Really tasty Asian cuisine in Casuarina. Book as it is very busy! Make sure you try one of their Gin and cucumber martinis hmmm hmmmm!
SUNDAY
Morning:
- Have a sleep in (or as we call it now with a bub, a lie in)
Breakfast:
- Cabana Cabarita. Walk up to the headland and get an acai from Cabana, a super cute caravan serving coffee and breaky in one of the driveways! Take it across to the picnic table at the headland of down to the beach.
Lunch/afternoon:
- Book yourself in for a treatment at Halcyon House’s day spa, leave enough time to lap up the steam room before hand, utter bliss!
- Make sure you head to Halcyon House’s restaurant Paper Daisy for a prawn sandwich and an Aperol Spritz beforehand or afterwards.
Dinner:
- Taverna. Greek fusion food in Kingscliff in such an amazing location. Make sure you book beforehand!
We love our little slice of the world, and we hope to see you here some time!
