Peats Bite is situated on a little slice of paradise on the Hawkesbury River. Since opening in 1982 Peats Bite has developed a reputation for long relaxed luncheons. It's unique three-course menu incorporates banquet style entrees with à la Carte mains and desserts.
After pulling up to Peats own seaplane dock, sit back and enjoy the food, wine and live music. It is not uncommon for diners to have a between course dip in the pool or sit out on the lawn with coffee and dessert looking over the vista that is the Hawkesbury. The seaplane flight to and from Peats Bite offers an excellent insight into life on the Hawkesbury River and our aircraft glides over many oyster leases and ‘lifestyle' holiday homes dotting the beautiful islands. The contrast could not be more dramatic as we complete the day with a circuit of central Sydney and her two centrepieces – the Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
A Little Bit About Peats Bite
Peats Bite is an exclusive water access only property an hour north of Sydney situated at Sunny Corner on the beautiful Hawkesbury River.
Since opening in 1982 this family owned and run business has become renowned for its long relaxed luncheons and live entertainment. The venue is well suited for functions and weddings with a spectacular river outlook, tropical gardens and lawns to the waters edge. Peats Bite's indoor/outdoor design has seating capacity of 150 persons and views from all aspects of the restaurant. The property also has six self contained water front holiday units, BBQ area and swimming pool, great for small conferences or weekends away.
With deep water frontage our pontoon is suitable for private vessels alternatively we offer transfers from Brooklyn, which is just a 15 minute trip. For those with a tight schedule, perhaps just in town for the weekend or entertaining overseas guests, Peats Bite is only a 20 minute flight along the beautiful Northern Beaches by Seaplane. Whatever the occasion Peats Bite can offer a truly unique experience.
