The Fig Tree (lunch only)
An experience like no other, this restaurant is built into a fig tree more than a century old, and a two minute drive from your pod. The canopy comes down around you, and lunch happens inside the leaves.
Chef and owner John Stamatakis cooks a set menu of Mediterranean-inspired feast over wood fire, built on local produce. It’s a long table meal, made for taking your time over.
Sittings are $147pp, drinks on consumption.
The tree sets the season for the restaurant as it carries leaves for about six months of the year. Bookings are essential. Tell us your date and party size, and we’ll put your request to the restaurant, then confirm back to you once it’s locked in.
La Baracca (Friday dinner)
La Baracca means “the shed”. On Friday nights, dinner moves into its shearing shed just next to the Fig Tree, a century-old building on the same property.
Dinner is a set menu. Think native cuts and coastal flavours thrown over wood-fired grills, kissed by charcoal hibachi flames, or puffing up in the pizza oven.
Sittings are $95pp, drinks on consumption.
La Baracca follows the same opening season as the Fig Tree and bookings are essential.
