Amazing walks and Holmes in mount Jerusalem-
Cute village centre with great shop cafe and bottle shop
Gorgeous waterways for swimming
Stunning mountain views
Great access to beaches at ocean shores and brunswick heads, close to mullumbimby for all conveniences
It feels like your miles from anywhere but it’s so easy to get to- it’s an undiscovered gem in the byron hinterland!

"Great town, minutes to the beach with a great community"
Mullumbimby is a gorgeous heritage town with palm lined Main Street with huge amounts on offer especially for families with young children. We love the easy beach access combined with the huge range of independent shops stocking locally produced merchandise from organic foods, leather bags, candles, furniture you name it it’s here. It’s a stones throw from Brunswick heads beaches and has a very vibrant community. We have lived here for more than 2 years now and for us and our children there is a great mix. Good library, skatepark, tennis courts and the 50 m lap pool and children’s pool is a must go to in summer. Kiva soa and the Thai massage house is great for working and busy mums who need a quick respite for an hour.
We have children in the community preschool which is excellent and at Mullumbimby public school which achieves excellent results with gardens, yoga and a nice mix of academic/sports based education . Many of our friends also hold the Steiner school in high regard- there’s an excellent choice of schools, even the hinterland Christian college on the doorstep of you are so inclined.
The house prices in the last couple of years have shot up so many people think it’s expensive but there are still good houses to have at good affordable prices. Morrison avenue, prince street, Ann street, poinciana street and argyle street area, are a 3 minute walk from downtown Mullumbimby, and have some beautiful countryside bucolic views and easy access out of town for beach time. It’s worth checking these areas out as they will get a lot of regeneration when the rail trail comes, all these streets are near the old railway track which will in the next couple of years will create access by bike, foot and solar tram to the beaches of Byron and Brunswick. We cannot wait to get electric bikes and be cycling to the beach without getting in the car, safely and environmentally too.
It can be hot here in summer, it’s worth looking at the the streets mentioned as many catch the cool breezes you don’t get in town, we don’t have aircon and we don’t struggle in the summer.
One of my favourite things is dropping our tinny in the river at heritage park- a 5 min walk from town and motoring down to Brunswick heads.
mullum escapes the crowds of Byron and doesn’t feel transient- if you want a town that feels surrounded by beautiful countryside with a culturally mixed community then it’s definitely worth looking into!

hey! our internet is good and nbn is being rolled out in the town so will get better. it looks like we are about 18 months off getting the tram/train to the beach... it will really change the town being able to ride a bike to the beach! very exciting. are you moving as a couple or family? what sort of place are you after? its a good time to buyin mullum- prices rise then level, then rise, this is a level time so a good time to get in to the market. are you looking in town, and where are you coming from?
Hi and thank you for your reply :-)
Moving as a gay couple. Me bianca and my partner of 10yrs Gracie. We are from Sydney and lived in Alexandria, Surry hills and Newtown. So we like the diverse aspect. We moved to the Gold Coast for 8 mths to chill out and work out why we left Sydney and what the universe has planned for us next. So we found Mullum and fell in love!!
We know we could learn more about the land and home grown and permaculture, so it is exciting us to be in Mullum for that. We are 38/39, and would love to soak it all up and learn what Mullum can teach us.
We are looking for a house with a bit of land and hope to buy for a fair flat price and enjoy a little growth over time. One thing is on my mind tho.
Flooding. We are a bit loving a property, 4 Myokum st and i have googled the life out of the internet trying to find reports and plans on mullum around floods.
This home backs onto the creek wven small section tho it has in last yr flood apparently flood came to back steps and not under house or insdie.
Now i know i should trust this and jump right in but something is telling me to be sure. So i plan a building/pest report so maybe give me peace of mind.
They have lowered the price and i cant find any other thing around there that may affect it. For example, i know about the planned rezone and development of affordable housing blocks just below the community garden. I think it is a great idea. The trucks should not go down myokum st as a nee round about is happening near the school and the toad will go right to the new development area.
So i know u cant tell me it will never flood. But i do like to know your feedback if you can reply. Also i have googled things we can buy/do to prevent flood water entering.
Thank you and see u in Mullum some day soon maybe! i have a big smile and talk alot so u are likely to see me around.
Thanks for replying! You will love mullum- we were here in massive flood and didnt get affected- I think the worst areas were orchid place and Ann street the bottom end towards the paddocks. The property your looking at is gorgeous- Taras a very reputable agent. If you are in any doubts I would get an insurance quote- that will give you a good idea how the property has been affected in the past by any flooding! Good luck and look forward to meeting you
Oh perfect idea thank you.
Yea Tara is lovely.. very busy too i see so thats a good thing.
Ur so kind to reply i appreciate your help.
See u in town!!!
