Locally sourced
The island’s vegetable patch supplies our chefs with a constant harvest of fresh, seasonal produce, while our resident chickens take care of the fresh free-range eggs. Fresh prawns, coral trout and painted rock lobster are amongst the local delicacies sourced from the warm waters beyond our beach by local fishermen.

It all starts in our own backyard with the best locally sourced produce and sustainability front and centre.
