Take the scenic drive South-West from Byron Bay through the hinterland to discover Eltham Valley’s hidden gem, tucked away along Boatharbour Road, The Pantry. Set on a flourishing pecan orchard and landscaped cottage gardens, this 100-year-old restored farmhouse is styled with dark floorboards, cosy cushioned nooks and corrugated iron counters, creating a rustic country chic interior ideal for warming cups of coffee and lingering lunches. A contemporary menu offers breakfast delights of Hickory smoked salmon with herbed crème fraiche or scrumptious lunch dishes like the aromatic fish curry served in a clay pot with Thai style vegetables and toasted coconut rice. Be sure to sample the house specialty pecans fresh from their farm, with flavours of dark chocolate, Texan BBQ and maple roasted.
