Pedals and Picnics offers a two-hour destination picnic set up along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail near South Murwillumbah, delivering a fully styled, luxury grazing experience for groups of 1–20 at either Hosanna Farmstay or Burringbar.
South Murwillumbah, located in New South Wales, Australia, offers a unique blend of lush countryside and accessible outdoor trails, making it an ideal setting for Pedals and Picnics’ Destination Picnic Set Up. Along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, this experience invites visitors to pause, unwind, and savor nature’s calm without sacrificing comfort or style. Unlike a typical trail stop, Pedals and Picnics specializes in transforming the outdoors into a refined dining experience with full setup and pack down included. From romantic engagements to family gatherings and corporate events, the service caters to groups of 1–20, providing an array of plush rugs, pillows, and decorative touches such as lanterns and peacock chairs to elevate each picnic.
The Northern Rivers Rail Trail stretches through gently rolling landscapes, framed by dense subtropical foliage and open paddocks, with glimpses of native eucalyptus and banksia trees. This trail is cherished locally for offering easy accessibility while preserving a sense of wilderness, with bird calls of kookaburras and rosellas filling the air. Pedals and Picnics enhances this connection to the land by preparing custom grazing platters that highlight seasonal, high-quality ingredients suited to a variety of dietary needs, including gluten- and dairy-free options (with a surcharge).
What sets Pedals and Picnics apart is the dedication to detail—from insulated picnic baskets and cutting boards to elegant table runners and candlelight ambiance. The experience requires no cycling gear or technical skill since bike rentals and rides are separate options. This flexibility appeals to those who simply want to enjoy a meticulously crafted moment outdoors without the distraction of equipment or setup.
Perfect for celebrations or quiet afternoons, these destination picnics offer an accessible pathway to reconnect with friends, family, or even yourself in one of Australia’s underrated outdoor corridors. Whether you choose Hosanna Farmstay or scenic Burringbar as your backdrop, Pedals and Picnics delivers a rare blend of comfort and nature that transforms an ordinary outing into an unforgettable escape.
