Mietta's Review
This grand Victorian mansion has been given the full treatment an converted into luxury accommodation and restaurant. It's all very grand - beautiful gardens, a lake and, inside, a victorian colour scheme and, of course, modern bathrooms. The restaurant is appropriately plush with crisp white linen and a high quality setting. On Sunday high tea is served.

Other published opinions

The Age Good Food Guide 2006 score 13/20 "This Victorian-style mansion, with sprawling lawns, brass fittings and antique furnishings, is as stately as they come, and views of Woodman's lily-fringed ornamental lake would have had Monet reaching for his palette. Come inside for fireside aperitifs in the drawing room, then swan to the intimate dining room and sink into a plushly upholstered chair."

The Age Good Food Guide 2005 score 13/20 "THIS Victorian-style manor is surrounded by lawns and overlooks an ornamental dam. Inside, contemporary paintings in the pink-walled dining room counterpoint the marble fireplace and Axminster carpet. The menu recalls a conservative bistro, the wine list is compact but interesting and the service is fluid."
