Start your mornings in the ocean, and spend your days creating seasonal menus that highlight estate-grown produce and pair beautifully with our wines. Live and work in a stunning South Coast location, just minutes from the beach, and enjoy the benefits of a true coastal lifestyle.

Overlooking Burrill Lake and the Budawang Ranges, our award-winning estate blends refined hospitality with a laid-back atmosphere and we’re looking for an experienced, creative, and hands-on Executive Chef to lead our dynamic kitchen team.

You’ll lead a talented team across our restaurant, Wine Garden, events, and functions, all while living in one of Australia’s most beautiful coastal regions.

Hear from Paul one of our Chef de Partie: “I love that I have mornings and evenings free for an ocean swim and that the roster only includes a few night shifts.”
