Same Day Delivery - Cabarita Beach Wide
Need flowers delivered to Cabarita Beach? Order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays and we'll have them there same day. Fresh, local, made by real florists. That's it, that's what we do.
My name is Siobhan, I own Lily's Florist with my partner Andrew, and Cabarita Beach has been part of our lives since long before it became the place it is now. We live about ten minutes up the road in Kingscliff and find ourselves in Cabarita at least twice a week, sometimes more. Coffee and bread at Fuel, sushi at Izabu every few weeks, dinner at #35 when we can get a table (our friend Rachael owns it, which helps). Our youngest, Ivy, has her best mate Sof living in Cabarita so there's been a lot of school pickups and drop offs over the years, birthday parties, sleepovers, the lot.
I remember Cabarita before the development really kicked in, before the cafes got good, when you could buy a burger with the lot and chips for under $10 at Froggies, when it was just a quiet little beach with a caravan park and not much else. We used to drive through on our way somewhere else. Now we drive there on purpose.
Back in 2006, Andrew and I bought a florist in Kingscliff. We knew nothing about flowers, had a baby on the way, and our accountant told us not to do it. We did it anyway. The previous owner had taken out a Yellow Pages ad, the actual book, and the phone would not stop ringing. Forty plus calls a day for flowers, not just to Kingscliff but to Cabarita Beach, Hastings Point, Pottsville, Murwillumbah, even random places like Townsville and Bendigo.

* Our start line. We bought this shop in 2006 despite our accountant’s advice, and it was the best mistake we ever made. This is where the 'Cabarita connection' began. We went fully online with flowers in late 2009.
For months we said sorry, we can't help, we don't deliver there. Then one quiet June afternoon, maybe $25 in the till for the whole day, we looked at each other and thought there has to be something we can do with all these calls.
Our first partner florist was out in Murwillumbah. I drove out there with Asha, who was barely walking at the time, nervous as anything, rehearsing what I was going to say. Within thirty seconds of putting her down on the floor of the shop she had pulled herself up on a display stand and smashed a gift onto the floor. Icebreaker sorted.
The florist said yes. Then the next one said yes. And the next. We built websites for them, sent them orders, charged no fees, only asked that they put a few extra stems in to cover our small commission. By 2009 we had sold the shop, gone fully online, and Lily's Florist was born.
Today we work with over 800 partner florists right across Australia. But the Tweed, the Northern Rivers, this part of the world, it's home. When you order flowers to Cabarita Beach they're made by a local florist who knows the area, delivered by a local courier who knows which unit block has the tricky intercom and which house has the dog.
You place your order online or give us a call on 1300 360 469. Our system matches your recipient's postcode to the closest partner florist who has the flowers in stock, if you have been to 'Cabba' as most call it here, you will know that there are no local florists in the area. If they're running low on red roses for example, the order routes to the next closest florist who has them. Your flowers get made fresh that day and delivered by a local courier, not boxed up and sent through Australia Post.

My 'no-tech' blueprint. This is how we ensure your Cabarita order goes to a real local shop, not a warehouse assembly line in a city far away.
Same day delivery is $16.95, which we subsidise because the actual cost is often higher depending on where the flowers are going. If there's an issue with access or timing, our team will call you. We're based in Australia, all our staff are in Armidale NSW, and we actually answer the phone six days a week which apparently is unusual these days.
We partnered with Feefo back in 2013 because we wanted honest feedback, even when it hurts. Feefo only collects reviews from verified customers, people who have actually bought flowers from us. We can't edit them, delete them, or get our mates to write nice things. In 2024 & 2024 we received over 3,000 reviews, with 2,406 of those being four or five stars, which earned us a Feefo Trusted Service Award for customer service.

* 3,000+ verified stories. We put ourselves out there with Feefo because we want to stay honest. Sometimes it hurts, but 2,406 four and five-star reviews say we're on the right track.
Flowers are subjective, one person's lush romantic bouquet is another person's over the top. So putting ourselves out there with zero control over what people say took some guts. But it keeps us honest and it helps us get better.
Andrew grew up in Sydney, I did too, and we both remember the moment we knew we were staying. It was April 2006, we were driving a bright yellow Hyundai Getz that could barely make it up hills, and we crossed the old wooden bridge over Cudgen Creek into Kingscliff. High tide, sun directly overhead, the water looked like something out of Fiji. We pulled into Marine Parade, had lunch at Zanzibar, walked past a florist that was for sale, and that was it. Sliding doors.
Asha is almost 19 now and about to finish year 12. Ivy is 14, plays netball for the Tweed, and spends half her weekends at Sof's place in Cabarita. We still swim in Cudgen Creek, still eat at Zanzibar, still get our bread from Fuel. Cabarita Beach became cool somewhere along the way but for us it was always just part of the landscape, the beach you went to when Kingscliff was too busy, the place your kids' friends lived, the sushi spot you kept going back to.

Andrew, me, and the girls. Ivy & Asha.
When you send flowers to Cabarita Beach through Lily's Florist, they come from this place. From florists who live here, couriers who know the streets, and a family business that has called this corner of NSW home for nearly two decades.
Order online anytime or call us on 1300 360 469. Same day delivery available Monday to Saturday when you order before 2pm weekdays or 10am Saturdays. We deliver to Cabarita Beach, Casuarina, Kingscliff, Hastings Point, Pottsville, Murwillumbah, and everywhere in between.
