We had a sumptuous three night stay there. It was really hard to fault the staff in particular - from the receptionist and barman who kept the kitchen open for us on the Friday night to the excellent waitstaff who served us during our degustation on the Sunday night. Special thanks also to the wildlife keeper (I'm so sorry I can't remember her name) - my travelling companion has a special connection with quolls and she indulged him appropriately! The food was superb, especially the breakfasts - and I must say that the eggs benedict was quite possibly the best I have ever had. The degustation was very good (we had the five course) - although I suppose like all degustations there are generally one or two courses that are good but don't quite fit as well as the others. It may have been also that we were a little tired (country air and so forth) and had booked for 8pm - perhaps a solution would be to recommend a slightly earlier start if one were contemplating that sort of dinner in the country? I must add that I really enjoyed the wine match - and the sommelier was very personable and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the combinations. All the little extras including a couple of the amuse-bouches were delightful as well. Overall a wonderful weekend - many thanks for the hospitality.
