The wood fired pizza oven requires an experienced operator so we do not allow guests to use the oven, sorry.
A professional in house chef can be recommended for ANY of your bespoke catering requirements. He will come to the house, prepare, cook, serve and clean up so you don’t need to leave the house or drive. Comparable to restaurant prices, this is a great option for a special occasion either indoors or in the garden. Just ask and we will put you in touch with chef Mark to discuss your requirements and give you a quote. As a price guide expect around $125pp for a 3 course dinner.
Taxis and Uber’s are getting better but not the most reliable. Booking ahead is advised. There are local buses and Belgrave train station is the nearest to get you to and from melbourne. The station is approx 5 kms from the house.

Summary: We had the most beautiful weekend. Beds and linen luxurious and so comfortable. Open fires red wine walks in the forest and visits to Kallista Olinda and Olinda falls. No wonder this home won the house of the year award! We had a lovely visit from parrots and cockatoos. Everything we needed was here. Thanks so much. We can’t wait to visit again !!!
