“This impressive collection is utterly mesmerising. Already famed for its two-hatted restaurant and luxe accommodation, Lake House is fast becoming known for its cooking school where the focus is on foraging and local produce.” “After 35 years, Alla Wolf-Tasker’s regionally focused restaurant remains one of the best in Australia, a masterclass in precise cooking and top-quality ingredients”. In all, a remarkable example of talent and determination”. “The wine list is stunning, fresh and handled with the right balance of deference and friendliness. Each seasonal menu takes you on a trip down country lanes, through the orchards and across the farm paddocks of the region. Wild damsons, Winter Nealis pears, quinces and yellow crab apples feature in fabulous desserts and, in time honoured country fashion, are also made into delicious preserves for enhancing leaner seasons.

The duck with orange braised witlof the golden roasted free range chicken of summer with corn and yabbies, or the truffled Pecorino tart with artichokes Barigoule, eel, Murray Cod and trout rabbit and hare, speak of local waterways and fields. Perhaps the butter poached pheasant with chestnuts and Farrow in Autumn, the spring lamb with asparagus and morels. Regular guests will tell you of their favourite season and of memorable dishes. Guests enjoying drinks at dusk will likely witness the daily ritual of the resident kookaburra family flying in to be fed and the flocks of cockatoos circling the 40 year old gums, silver birch and poplars looking for their evening perch.
