Eat + Drink

Good taste is in Tasmania’s DNA. Here, in our own little part of the world, local produce takes centre stage on every menu, telling a vital part of our story with classic dishes refined and reimagined.

Our strong relationships with boutique growers gives us year-round access to the freshest produce our state has to offer, hand delivered to our kitchens. So you can enjoy the best of Tasmania in our restaurant, lounge, or hand-delivered direct to your room.

In the diary of Reverend Knopwood, Tasmania’s first Chaplain, he recalls dining locally with his friends on 10th October 1804. “The ‘piece de resistance’ was emu.” And while Tasmania’s menus have changed dramatically over the years, one thing remains the same, food tastes better when shared with friends.

The Lounge is our special place – its open fire is our storytelling nucleus. Adorned with artifacts representing the traditional Tasmanian Aboriginal toolkit, The Lounge design also pays tribute to the First Tasmanians and their descendants.

Make yourself at home in The Lounge – its historic open fireplace and relaxed atmosphere the perfect backdrop to reflect on your Tasmanian adventure – a crisp, pre-dinner white wine and succulent Pacific oyster in hand.
