Kitchen and Out Door Dining
You will find a fully equipped gourmand kitchen , the benches are topped with Mintaro slate and the cupboards are Blackwood. There is an under-bench oven, glass cook-top, microwave, draw dishwasher, the finest European glassware and crockery. From the dining area you look directly out of French glass doors on to the beautiful garden. Directly out of the French doors is a pagoda covered slate patio, with a teak outdoor setting, sun lounges, a market umbrella, a BBQ and some intriguing old farm implements – we are still not sure what they were for.
Little Extras
Provisions are included for a generous breakfast.
A complimentary bottle of Clare Valley Sparkling wine and chocolates are on hand to celebrate your visit to this gem in the Clare Valley.
