Culinary Master
Our head chef, Hugh Whitehouse, has had literally a lifetime of experience with fresh, natural produce. Growing up on a farm in New South Wales, he still remembers milking the cows with his father and tasting the milk while it was still warm, and wandering the orchard pretending to make jam with his sister – or having tomato fights! Hugh’s passion for food spills over into a passion for people. He is a firm believer in developing the skills and enthusiasm of apprentices and nurturing them to realise their own natural talent. He also takes great interest in tailoring menus and dining experiences for his guests. From recreating your own favourite dish, to campfire dining, to multi-course degustation menus expertly matched with wines, Hugh is committed to enhancing every dining experience. He will even pass on his culinary secrets in private cooking classes for guests.
