There’s something special about seeing your hard work appreciated—and this week, we’re thrilled to share that Pavilion by Slingtown has been featured on HunterHunter.

If you haven’t read the write-up yet, the article shines a light on our beachside café in Carrington, Newcastle and captures exactly what we set out to create: a vibrant, laid-back space that feels equal parts holiday and home.

From the very beginning, Pavilion has been about more than just coffee and food. It’s a place that celebrates sunshine, surf, good design, and even better company. So when the team at HunterHunter described us as “a slice of Byron by the beach,” we couldn’t help but smile. That’s exactly the feeling we hoped to evoke.

What's the buzz about?

The article touches on everything from our clean, coastal interiors to our locally sourced menu, curated in partnership with some of our favourite small producers. You’ll also find a few nods to our must-try dishes—like the miso mushrooms, our cult-favourite breakfast burger, and the colourful mango + passionfruit acai bowl that’s become a hit with locals and day-trippers alike.

Plus, if you’ve ever ordered a takeaway and sat on the sand, coffee in hand, you’ll know why they say our spot “blends seamlessly into the Newcastle lifestyle.”

It’s more than a café, it’s a community

We opened Pavilion with the vision of creating something that felt light, intentional, and open to everyone. Whether you’re ducking in after a swim, meeting friends for brunch, or just soaking in the salty air with a flat white, we want every visit to feel like a small escape.

Having that story captured and shared so thoughtfully by HunterHunter means a lot. It reminds us why we do what we do, and who we do it for.

A heartfelt thank you

To our community, our team, and every customer who’s ever shared a post, told a friend, or simply started their day here - thank you! 

Thanks HunterHunter for dropping by and sharing our story.
