Opened March 2023 after a multi million dollar refurb. A mix of The Farm at Byron Bay and The Grounds in Sydney. Geared for outdoor dining the pizzas are among the best in the area and the other food looked pretty good as well. Big grass area for kids to play and they are looking at putting in some petting animals.

ALBA combines a cafe, providore, pizzeria, and relaxed all-day bar that evolves into a stylish restaurant and cocktail bar at night.
