Where Flame Meets Flavour

Open Tuesday to Sunday from 5:30 pm – 9:00 pm.

The Fireplace is a proud recipient of a One Glass accolade at Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards 2025.

The Art of Wood-Fired Dining

At The Fireplace, Executive Chef Hamish Watt and Head Chef Harry Ng craft a seasonal menu where premium local ingredients meet the timeless technique of wood-fire cooking.

From charred infusions to delicate herbal notes, each dish is a reflection of the region’s freshest produce — sourced in rhythm with the local harvest.

Settle into the warmth of our rustic surrounds and watch the culinary theatre unfold from the open kitchen, where a crackling wood-fire oven anchors the dining room.

Whether you indulge in a bespoke à la carte selection or surrender to the full six-course degustation experience, every plate is a celebration of fire, flavour, and finesse.
