Elements is an award winning eatery located in a beautiful old building (circa 1925), that once housed the library, post office, chemist and butcher. The once divided shops are now a 75 seat eatery just a short hop from the CBD, a stone’s throw from Lyall Bay beach and a 5 minute drive from the airport.
