FINE DINING ON THE TWEED COAST
Pipit is located in Pottsville on the Tweed Coast of Northern NSW. Positioned between Byron Bay and the Gold Coast, our region and restaurant is a destination for locals and visitors seeking award-winning dining in a relaxed coastal setting.
The Tweed Shire is shaped by the ocean, farmland, and river systems and Pottsville offers a quieter alternative to busier coastal towns while remaining easily accessible from across the Northern Rivers and South East Queensland.
