Leading from the lounge and bar, the Kubirri Lounge offers an opportunity for small groups to experience an intimate setting for up to 12 guests, perfect for special celebratory evening dining, or perhaps a small executive meeting during the day.
A thriving kitchen garden of more than 100 plant types including the Mt White finger lime, pandan and tamarind provides both singing-fresh ingredients for the table as well as a relaxed, outdoor setting for guests to enjoy lunch or early dinner drinks and snacks.
