Casual Dining-currently closed

We are currently closed for the time being apart from existing bookings. Apologies for any disappointment.

We look forward to re-opening in late January.

Enjoy an espresso coffee or morning tea or a light lunch at the Farmhouse, generally available Wednesday to Sunday but please book ahead (online through our website, or by phone) so we can be prepared. A limited set menu is offered depending on available produce and the season.

EFTPOS available or cash accepted

Cooking Classes

Cookery classes are available at the Farmhouse for small groups of 4 to 8 people, for a range of activities, including sourdough bread making, preserving, cheesemaking, and fresh pasta making. Organise a date with a group of friends, or join others for an advertised class. Or book a day-long country cooking experience and long lunch with a group of friends. Dates for this year will be available soon.

You can book online through our website or phone Jan to discuss available dates.

Functions & Events - bookings available from February 2026

We are currently closed until late January 2026. Online bookings can be made for the remainder of the year for group functions for a special event, lunch, or dinner. Our seasonal set menus can be tailored to suit your requirements. Dining options include inside spaces (either in the kitchen or new formal dining room) for small formal dinners (suits 6 to10 people), or verandah and garden for larger groups and more casual meals, depending on the weather and season. We can provide the venue and catering for small weddings or events. There are some great accommodation options available at nearby Lake Keepit Reflections State Park.

Summer at the Farmhouse.

(Currently Closed)

Summer is here with some good rain, hot weather and growth in the garden and pastures. Fruit trees are fruiting, some are being covered with nets as the birds have discovered the fruit already- channel billed cuckoos, cockatoos, and king parrots in particular. Vegetable seedlings are growing, showing promise of some hopefully useful crops to come. We are usually closed now on Mondays and Tuesdays. Our home garden is rather wild, always needing attention, but at least is green at the moment. Our vegie garden and most fruit trees are across the road from the farmhouse but anyone interested is welcome to have a guided tour there. It is pretty humble needing some replanting work with plenty of room for improvement. If any locals are interested in getting involved we would welcome some future changes towards a community garden with shared produce.

We are finding our place best suits small groups of friends, work colleagues or family who appreciate a simple casual country style experience and an old time place to meet and relax, whilst enjoying some good food cooked from first principles.

We generally offer a seasonal set menu for lunch and dinner where everyone has the same meal, apart from special dietary requirements, which can be accommodated with prior notice. The menu can be left as a surprise for the day or discussed in advance if required. We are no longer doing cooked breakfasts, just coffee and toast or croissants, finding it hard to fit prep and cooking a full breakfast menu into busy enough days.

We have a new booking system available through our website. We ask that you use it, if possible, to make bookings. It should make it easier to find available dates for the different things we offer, from cooking classes to morning tea, lunch or dinner .You will also get confirmation of your booking and a reminder. For any queries feel free to call instead or as well.

As mentioned, we are closed until the end of January, apart from some cooking class existing bookings. We need some time to catch up on farm, garden and house renovation work as well as having some quality family time.

For those interested in cooking classes, you are welcome to gather a small group of friends (usually six to eight people) for an exclusive booking and suggest a date, or join an advertised class. Dates for these will be out soon.
