What’s for Dinner?
Your host Steven is also a fabulous cook! He completed his Cookery Apprenticeship as a young man & worked his way up to become the Head Chef at the historic Man O’ Ross pub in Tasmania for many years before heading to mainland Australia. From here he was Head Chef in restaurants anywhere from tropical islands in Queensland to Outback remote areas across the Kimberley & Top End.
Steven’s specialty is creating wholesome food with great flavours. He’s not into fancy big plates with swiping’s of sauce, but he is into beautifully presented food that will leave your taste buds happy and your hearts warmed.
Come spend an evening with the stars out on sunset ridge and Book the Cook for your next stay. Simply select which main meal you would like & fill out the order form below.
