Tea Gardens Hawks Nest and Myall Lakes

The twin towns of Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest are your take off point to the Myall Waterways - a river chain of salt and freshwater lagoons and lakes, rainforests and "myalls" of white sand beaches.

Here peace still reins - fishing and holiday villages that move at a gentler pace than most - but only two hours drive north of Sydney.

Spend time here and find a sense of community rare in today's world. Trish and Rick Wraight, the principals of Tea Gardens Real Estate typify the locals.

Whether you come in looking for a home, to find the perfect investment or simply have a relaxed chat, Trish and Rick are there to greet you.

Their office on Marine Drive looks more like a holiday home with sink-in lounges, and water scenes inside and out. You're their guest with old-fashioned courtesies extended to you.

Trish and Rick team with you to appreciate your needs and help shape your individual Myall dream, knowing this may be one of the biggest decisions of your life.

Whether you'd like to live by ocean, river, in town or on bush acreage, you'll pay only a third of what you'd pay for comparables in Sydney. Trish and Rick can help you fulfil your Myall dream.
