Murwillumbah Guest House is a small, homely budget guesthouse and backpacker hostel set in a historic 1922 building right on the riverside at Tumbulgum Road, a short walk from the centre of town. It keeps the character of the original building and is known for its quirky, colourful and friendly atmosphere, with long-term management that has run the place for decades and a loyal stream of returning guests.
Accommodation includes single, double and twin rooms plus a dormitory for groups, with a fully equipped shared kitchen for self-catering. Its big draw is the outlook: spectacular views over the Tweed River, Wollumbin (Mount Warning) and the surrounding caldera. The location suits travellers here to climb Wollumbin, ride the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and other cycling routes, or explore the rainforests, waterfalls and glow-worm spots of the nearby national parks.
Budget-conscious travellers and backpackers wanting a homely, riverside base in Murwillumbah for Wollumbin climbs, rail-trail rides and hinterland day trips.
