From hearty meals like pumpkin soup and spicy sweet & sour cucumber salad to fresh pesto and lemon butter, you can enjoy the freshest ingredients, all made from scratch and straight from our paddocks.

  • Convenience and Relaxation: For those looking to spend more time enjoying the beautiful surroundings than cooking, we also offer ready-made meals that can be easily heated up. Or, if you prefer, simply fry up some of our homegrown mince, pour on our homemade tomato passata, and dinner is ready in minutes—effortless and full of flavor.

Incredible, peaceful getaway
Thank you Sophie for making this such a special trip, exceeded all expectations.  Waking up and falling asleep surrounded by cows, alpacas, horses etc was incredible and it felt so nice being away from everything.
Wish we could stay longer.
