Our chefs have created an exclusive menu with a small selection of signature
dishes. You will find a selection that pleases all palates. Our success lies in
the simplicity of our cuisine. All our dishes are lovingly prepared, using only
the freshest of ingredients. Whenever possible we use organic herbs and
vegetables grown in our own gardens at THE BLADES.
Guests can enjoy a hand picked selection of wines, to accommodate all budgets.
Meals can be savoured inside our elegant restaurant, outside on the deck or
alfresco on the lush green lawns, on the water's edge.
Our timber deck, over-looking the dam, provides the perfect setting to sample a
champagne cocktail or just relax on our imported, woven couches. Both savoury
and sweet snacks, as well as light lunches are served throughout the day.
