POP UP RESIDENCY - 31 MAY to 3 AUG 2025
For a limited time, Pipit will bring its award-winning fine-dining experience to The Brooklet, a luxury retreat nestled in the scenic hinterland of Byron Bay.
This collaboration will transform The Brooklet’s outdoor wood-fired kitchen and poolside bar into an exclusive dining destination, sharing the region’s finest seasonal ingredients and magical sunsets with drinks by the fire.
The intimate open-plan kitchen will seat just 10 guests at a time, during Saturdays and Sundays throughout June and July 2025.
STAY AT THE BROOKLET
Dining is open to all public guests, but you can also stay the weekend to make the most of The Brooklet’s breathtaking views and luxury villas.

What to Expect - Service
The Brooklet’s open plan kitchen is designed to let you observe cooking, talk to chefs, and engage about local produce. The exclusive small group size gives a relaxed, interactive and luxurious feeling much like a private chef experience
The small size (max 10 guests) means all guests will be served simultaneously. Therefore strict arrival times apply to avoid missing courses or impacting other guests. The paced dining experience is a 2.5 hour sitting time
