Byron Bay Day 4

This blog post will be extremely short. In essence, we wanted to relax and enjoy our villa and it was our last full day here. There were baths to be taken, drinks vouchers to be redeemed, a test cricket match to watch and streaming movies and series to catch up on...

Lunch was only sandwiches but it was a surprise hit! Unfortunately Malcolm could not remember where he got it from...other than it was a bakery and it was close to Munch. The servings were generous, the flavours amazing and the price point excellent!

Dinner was at the one hatted Pipit near Tweed Heads. Fiona had managed to get us a spot after calling and accidentally speaking to the chef...yay Fiona! It was worth the drive and the 5pm early dinner time. The food was superb and the best of our meals here whilst at Byron. The ingredients were fresh and combined well each other. They didn't try to be too fancy and we were grateful we didn't have to google any ingredients...The end result was amazing flavours! This is a place we would definitely go back to!

And so endeth our time here at Byron Bay. So many things to be grateful for...in no particular order:

  • It was busy but nowhere near the crowded mayhem that we feared (that may have been due to the weather!)
  • Whilst it has certainly developed a lot since we were last year, it was still a relaxing trip and Byron Bay hasn't become a major tourist trap (yet)
  • Although there was cyclone like weather, we were really only affected for a few days. There were enough breaks in the rain, and sunshine moments for us to see what we wanted to see. We still had wonderful time here.
  • It was great to travel with friends! The children got along well and I'm still perplexed as to how UNO can hold so much appeal after so many rounds...
  • The resort was awesome and a great place to get "stuck"


Cheers to an excellent last dinner at Byron Bay!

Refreshing lycheet sorbet, almond ice-cream and green mango. Amazing flavour!

Main was grilled mahi mahi

Starter of yellowfin tuna with macadamia miso and stonefruit

Sourdough with smoked macadamia and kefir butters. So nice!

Open kitchen

The signs of the times. As we dined, we discovered that NSW had a new corovirus cluster...
