Swim early, linger late
Make beach and pool time the anchors, then use the covered entertaining areas when the group wants shade and a long lunch.
Beyond the back gate
The sort of day
you do not
need to plan.
Start in the water. Stay too long over lunch. Follow the coast home—or disappear inland for the afternoon.
A Kingscliff day,
loosely planned.
Not a directory. A way of imagining the hours between waking at El Segundo and coming home again.
Step through the back gate, cross the grass and coastal bushland, and the beach is waiting. It is close enough for a barefoot morning swim to feel like part of breakfast rather than an excursion.

Water
before
breakfast.
Slip through the back gate for the sea, or make for the calm water of Cudgen Creek—somewhere to swim, kayak or stand-up paddleboard among mangroves and local birdlife. Watersports Guru offers kayak and paddleboard hire when drifting feels better than swimming.
02 · Nowhere else to be
Lunch can
become the
afternoon.
Fins for sustainable seafood, produce from local growers and a sense of occasion. Taverna for Greek-inspired sharing plates and cocktails opposite Kingscliff Beach. Two moods; no wrong answer.

Go hungry. Come home with breakfast, local produce and something made by hand. The beachfront Kingscliff Markets can become lunch on the lawn.

04 · The beautiful detour
Leave the coast
for a little while.
Follow the Tweed inland to Husk Farm Distillery for farm-grown spirits, a long lunch and a different view of the landscape.
Take the long way homeAll of this,
with El Segundo
to come home to.
The pool. The long table. One more film. Everyone back under the same roof.

Not only a summer house.
El Segundo is designed for full occupancy in every season, with enough indoor and outdoor space for the stay to change with the weather.
Warm days, slower plans
Coastal walks, outdoor meals and evenings in the private cinema room sit comfortably within the same relaxed itinerary.
Gather differently
Use the generous kitchen, fireplace, private cinema room and multiple living spaces as part of the holiday rather than a fallback.
Open the house again
Move between the coast, garden, pool and outdoor kitchen as the days lengthen and the Tweed Coast comes back outside.
