Business Snapshot & History
Originally a classic Queenslander home relocated from Brisbane, Mavis’s Kitchen evolved into a multi-award-winning regional restaurant and function venue, drawing acclaim for its farm-to-table ethos, warm hospitality and magical mountain views. Over the years, it became a signature dining and wedding destination in the Northern Rivers — a place where guests celebrated milestones, reconnected with nature, and dined under the stars.
While the restaurant and functions are currently closed, the infrastructure remains intact and ready to be revitalised. The property's existing accommodation continues to generate modest returns, offering a soft entry for an owner-operator or investor.

- Proximity to Byron Bay, Murwillumbah, Brunswick Heads, and the Gold Coast Airport (approx 40 mins)

Investment Potential – Blue Sky Opportunity
Mavis’s Kitchen offers buyers an incredible blank canvas with all the hard work done:

This is a true “choose your own adventure” investment — suited to hospitality professionals, tree-changers, lifestyle buyers, or developers seeking a prestige foothold in a thriving and tightly held region.
