Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views

Our menu is inspired by our own family gatherings, sharing food, wine, company, the beauty of our landscape and the bounty of our Estate Grown produce. Dine outdoors on the deck overlooking Lake Moodemere, or indoors in the heritage listed homestead - air conditioned in Summer with wood fires in Winter.

We grow our own lamb, wheat, honey, citrus, seasonal vegetables & herbs. All our Estate produce is sustainably produced with minimal intervention and zero food miles in a reflection of the place it was grown and the people who made it.

Our chefs have a passion for sustainability and creativity. In addition to our estate produce, we source the best of the season's harvest, with a view to minimising food miles, to enhance a vibrant, ever changing menu.

Fantastic venue. We were greeted by Zeus the border collie who was charming. We had lunch outside overlooking the lake on a perfect Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent and we loved the wines; they were all well balanced and had a point of difference. Highly recommended.

Michael and Belinda Chambers were the most wonderful hosts. We enjoyed their down to earth honesty, friendliness and professionalism, so refreshing in an industry known for its hype. Their wines are wonderful (of course we joined their club and received a 30% discount!) particularly their reds though their sparkling chardonnay went down a treat at our table. The meal was delicious in every respect and we really appreciated their attention to detail in serving our young grandson with alacrity whilst leaving we adults to inspect the menu at our leisure and enjoy the wine. The old homestead was magnificent and the view over Lake Moodemere during the spectacular afternoon thunderstorm was a dramatic conclusion to a memorable day. Should you go? Yes! My wife and I will certainly return as I am missing that luscious slow cooked lamb and the spicy Shiraz & Cinsaut already.
