Step back in time and experience one of Tea Gardens' most unique waterfront stays. Perched above the iconic bakery and ice cream shop on Marine Drive, this spacious four-bedroom apartment offers uninterrupted views across the beautiful Myall River and places you right in the heart of town.
This is not a modern apartment – and that's exactly its charm. Set within one of Tea Gardens' long-standing commercial buildings, the apartment retains the character of a bygone era, featuring traditional furnishings, generous living spaces and a nostalgic coastal atmosphere that reflects the history of the waterfront precinct. Wake to the aroma of freshly baked bread drifting up from the bakery below and spend your afternoons watching boats pass by on the river from your elevated vantage point.
Perfect for families, fishing groups or friends travelling together, the apartment offers four bedrooms, comfortable living areas and plenty of space to relax after a day exploring the Barrington Coast.
Located directly on Marine Drive, you'll be just steps from local cafés, restaurants, the ferry wharf, riverside walks and all that Tea Gardens has to offer. Downstairs you'll find the much-loved Mema's Bakery & Café and the famous Tea Gardens Ice Cream Shack – ideal for morning coffee, fresh pastries and evening treats.
If you're looking for a sleek, modern apartment, this may not be the property for you. But if you appreciate character, history, unbeatable river views and being immersed in the heart of Tea Gardens' waterfront community, you'll feel right at home here.
