Only open for private events, this place has food at the heart of its ethos, and thanks to the talents of some super-experienced chefs you can expect some exceptional kai at Terrace Kitchen. Whether it’s smoked, fried, baked or steamed, ingredients here are chosen with care (and some grown right on the premises, from the onsite garden!) because these foodies know that great food takes great effort. 

There are two spaces that can be hired for your exclusive use: The Dining Room, which leads out to The Porch and Lawn. The venue has been designed with the utmost attention to detail, so be prepared to feel wowed just by stepping through the door. White tiling, natural timbers, plenty of natural light and greenery aplenty – Terrace Kitchen has successfully managed to make a space feel glamorous without feeling pretentious.
