Threeways of the Valley has officially opened its doors. A destination in the Byron Bay hinterlands, Threeways is more than a cafe and restaurant, it’s fast becoming the heart of the Wilsons Creek community.
The space itself carries a special energy – formerly Lilium Love, it is nestled among mountains with freshwater creeks flowing nearby, a setting that makes every visit feel like an immersion in nature.
Created by Lex and Magdalena Rose – locals with deep roots in the valley – Threeways was born from a love of nourishing community and honouring the land. They have opened the cafe in conjunction with another venture they run, the non-profit Peaceful Growing Collective, which offers bush school, nature connection and healthy relating practices. The ethos of the collective infuses the cafe, shaping it as a space dedicated to wellness, vitality and beauty, in all parts of daily life.
Open Wednesday to Sunday, from 8am to 3pm and Saturday nights 4:30pm to 7:30pm, Threeways serves wholesome breakfast and lunch alongside some of the best woodfired pizzas around. With their oven blazing, nothing compares to the flavour of food cooked on coals. Coffee lovers are well taken care of too, with consistently excellent brews from Ballina’s Tenango Coffee. You’ll also find potions and tonics such as ceremonial cacao, house-made organic juices, smoothies and more, all created seed-oil free, using local produce for a dining experience that is nourishing, unique and deeply satisfying.
Across the road at their home Heartland, Magdalena and Lex keep horses, tend gardens and are developing a market garden to directly supply the cafe. They’re also planting the seeds of new community offerings at the cafe: a weekly organic food box/co-op, parent–child meetups, yoga, and tea ceremonies to bring people together midweek. Their liquor licence is in the works, and once approved, Threeways will offer a carefully curated selection of cocktails, wines and craft beers, adding another layer of warmth and spirit to the space.
While fresh to hospitality, the couple has gathered a strong team of locals, led by management rock Amery Waterhouse, who helps Threeways run smoothly. With special events like flea markets and plans for Friday night fiestas and themed gatherings, Threeways is as much about connection as it is about quality food and drinks.
With its commitment to peace, presence and community, Threeways of the Valley is more than a cafe, it’s a meeting place where the spirit of Wilsons Creek is alive and well.
