Eat + Drink

In the diary of Reverend Knopwood, Tasmania’s first Chaplain, he recorded that when he dined with his friends on 10th October 1804, the ‘piece de resistance’ was emu. Tasmania’s menus have changed dramatically over the years, but one thing remains the same…food is better when shared with friends.

Today, locally sourced ingredients are delivered in a menu that celebrates and explores Tasmania’s traditional family dishes, reimagined, and refined. A nod to our past and a celebration of Tasmanian produce and boutique Tasmanian growers.

Lounge

The Lounge is our special place – its open fire is our storytelling nucleus. A local stonemason crafted the fireplace with shared stories in mind. A pre-dinner crisp white with Pacific oysters often encourages fables to flow. The Lounge is trimmed with artefacts representative of the traditional Tasmanian Aboriginal toolkit and all have been made by Aboriginal people today, proudly decendant of the First Tasmanians.
