(what's this')
We count Thorn Park among our favourite gourmet getaways in Australia. It has been a hit with our readers for years and the accolades just keep flowing for David and Michael's deft combination of country charm and superlative hospitality in a magical setting.
Whether you choose the elegant in-house 1850s homestead rooms or the private suites in the Old Barn or The Coach House, you will be treated to a sumptuous feast of interior style and cuisine. Indeed, the food is central to why this place is such a venerated choice. These days, as people tend to dine out or order in several times a week, we all miss that subtle and exquisite blend of home-cooked cuisine and culinary excellence.
What Thorn Park offers is a slow-food, indulgent dining experience, laid on by hosts who understand true hospitality. Delightfully, too, dinner can be served in private for two or as a group. Legendary breakfasts and morning and afternoon teas cap off this epic foodie marathon. How guests ever find the energy to visit the cellar doors of Clare we will never know.
