Food That Tastes Like the Islands
Our chefs don't follow a set menu; they follow the seasons. Every day breakfast, lunch and dinner are crafted fresh, inspired by the natural surroundings of Long Island and the wider Whitsundays. Ingredients are sourced from our own island vegetable garden and from the best regional producers on the Queensland coast.
Dietary requirements? We’ve got you covered - just let us know a week before arrival.
As the sun sets behind the islands and the sky turns gold, join us at the firepit for canapes and a sundowner.
