Overview
We have 3 different dining areas: 1 overlooking the river and 2 overlooking the swimming pool.
Both are open under thatch, informal, relaxed and built with beautiful fallen wood including nilotica and cedar and giant bamboo.
All our food is fresh, organic, hearty, clean and mostly home-grown in our beautiful organic garden here on the property - we offer farm tours and picking mornings for families with kids and any interested guests. We also have a small dairy at the farm that allows us to provide fresh farm milk and milk products made in our kitchen. We cook all home made breads, desserts, pastries and pastas. We can adapt our menus to suit all dietary needs and we also produce kids food and can adjust the timings of meals for family groups. We have our own Cook Book : The Bush Kitchen: Notes and Recipes from the Wild, written by the owner Sophie Grant, published in 2022.
We have a state of the art open kitchen, for guests to come and watch the food being prepared, bake bread with us and learn about our recipes.
Bush meals are also a big highlight and our bush breakfasts and dinners out in the bush are very special.
The relaxed, bush home feel translates to our eating style - a mix of French, Italian and meditterrean influences. We also offer the option when possible of offering private meals or separate dining areas and tables whenever guests prefer this. Our aim is to offer as much flexibility as possible.
