With its stunning views of the Wollumbin and Border Ranges, inviting bistro and bar, and elegant interior design, this riverside establishment offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern glamour.
The vision behind Tweed River House belongs to partners Gregory Lording and Phillip Hepburn, who have lovingly restored the manor to its former glory. Drawing inspiration from iconic colonial dining rooms and grand homes, the manor exudes an elegantly relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart from other establishments in the Northern Rivers region.

The ambiance is further enhanced by an oversized chandelier and a lush tropical wall mural. For those seeking a more casual experience, the newly opened lawn bar offers a relaxed riverside dining option with a tapas-style bar menu and live music most weekends.
The menu is French nouvelle cuisine, using the best of the Northern Rivers' local farms, riverways, and ocean, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. The restaurant offers prix fixe style menus from 2 & 3 course to the popular 5 course tasting (think crab, lobster, beef & chocolate textures) as well as a 9-course degustation, perfect or a long lunch or dinner.
