DETAILS

While less than 15 minutes drive from the action at Byron, Peppers Casuarina is a secluded retreat where guests can indulge and enjoy the rejuvenating peace of the rainforest.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
Chef Matthew Jeffries has created a menu that has a Pacific rim feel - a fusion of Australian, European and Asian cuisine, using fresh local produce from the Byron Hinterland region and seafood from the bay, along with some wonderful native bush tucker from Casuarina Lodge's own gardens.
Wilson's guests will enjoy a special dining experience, reflective of Matthew’s passion for the freshest seafood, meat, game and organic fruit and vegetables supported with a balanced and refined wine list.Specialities of the house include oven roast crispy skin half duck, complemented with garden fresh steamed vegetables and an orange palm sugar syrup. Another favourite is Pacific Rim flavoured Seafood Curry of half mussels and white fish pieces, green prawns and calamari strips, wok cooked with a coconut and red samba sauce.Prior to joining Peppers, Matthew worked in a variety of roles including Executive Chef at Clarion Suites Gateway in Melbourne, Head Chef at the London HMC in Melbourne and in senior posts with The Windsor Hotel and Voyages.Wilson’s menus change daily and focus on quality local and seasonal produce. The dishes are elegant and inventive using classical methods with contemporary flavours and ingredients.
