To quote Gourmet Traveller Magazine, Spirit House is “a tropical film set that takes your breath away. Like the setting, the food is breathtaking.”

Set in lush tropical gardens nestled around a tranquil pond, bubbling waterfalls, tinkling wind chimes, the sounds of nature - the Spirit House is a delight for all senses.

The restaurant, which opened in 1995 seats 90 and is designed as an open pavilion surrounded by garden dining courtyards grouped around a tranquil lake. The Spirit House offers a total Asian culinary experience and includes a restaurant, cooking school, kitchen gardens, farm and tropical gardens.

The menu draws on the flavours of Asia, the chefs creating contemporary, fragrant, Thai inspired food. Crisp and balanced flavours are enhanced by fresh ingredients delivered daily to the kitchen door by local growers - ginger, lemongrass, tumeric, chillies, kaffir lime are just a few of the Asian ingredients grown in the area.

At night the Spirit House turns into a magic wonderland as hundreds of fairy lights, candles and bamboo flares reflect in the pond. Bamboo flute music drifts across the water against the background of fountains and temple bells tinkling in the breeze.
