cooking is a beautiful and simple life pleasure enjoyed morning, day and night. so we created two spaces to cook - a chef’s kitchen inside, and an outdoor brick barbecue with wood, charcoal or gas cooking.

the kitchen has been hand built, featuring the japanese shou sugi ban technique that blackens and protects the timber. it’s a chef’s kitchen and a delight to cook in.

the kitchen features a 900mm falcon oven with a natural gas cooktop. cast iron skillets and copper pots are provided, as well as everything else you would need to immerse in home cooking away from home.

A cozy kitchen with a window above a black stove, a teapot on the stove, and wooden countertops on either side. There's a small mushroom-shaped lamp on the left and a candle holder with a candle on the right.

An outdoor brick pizza oven with a low fire burning inside, positioned on a brick stand that also holds stacked firewood. There is a small black and red tool or tongs on the left side of the brick surface. The background includes a dark metal fence with green leafy plants and small trees.

we built a brick barbecue to cook over wood fire or charcoals. there’s also the wood fired pizza oven which is perfect for pizza or roasting fish and vegetables. if you feel like cooking outside but the fire is in the too hard basket, the double butane cooker fits perfectly on the brick base.

A small backyard garden bed with various green plants and herbs, bordered with weathered wooden planks, set against a tall wooden fence and large leafy trees in the background.

the herb garden. guests can pick from our small yet abundant herb garden to use in cooking - parsley, italian basil, thai basil, thyme, tuscan kale, rosemary, chives, swiss chard, oregano and centella.
