We stayed for 3 nights in August staying for our 5th time, this time back in the Chiefs Suite. Greeted by Yasmin and quickly met all the wonderful staff John, Sam, Charlotte, Bronte, Mike, Will some of whom were there last time we visited so it was lovely to see familiar faces again. We had a wonderful lunch on arrival prepared by the very talented Kiwi chef Will and his offsider Mike from UK. We would have to say the food was a culinary masterpiece every meal, such careful attention to detail and the most beautiful food we have ever eaten in all the years of coming. Such talent with vegetables (that red cabbage recipe came home with me!!) The boys cater for everyone even with specific dietary requirements so don't be afraid to mention what you do or don't eat, they will look after you. Wine pairings are offered for lunch (which a share lunch and isn't too big a meal as you need to pace yourself for dinner) as well as dinner which is a 5 course menu each. Breakfast was stunning, that pancake with strawberries, honey and coconut cream was amazing!
The Chief's Suite is a very beautiful suite, huge with plunge pool, log fire and plenty of space to chill out while overlooking the views towards the City. The pool is heated so that's a bonus in winter!!! The bed was to die for but the pillows were far too soft for us unfortunately this time, would have preferred harder pillows but I'm being overly picky. Housekeeping staff Gill and the other ladies are awesome and very unobtrusive. There's a mini bar (all included) and loads of local ciders, chocolates etc to rummage through if you are feeling peckish (which we weren't as the food in the main restaurant is plenty enough).
There's plenty to do around the area, bush walking, head to Kurrajong and wander around the shops, do a drive up to Bilpin or Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens, go to the Bee Hive and get some local honey, but overall whenever we go up to Sangoma we go to chillax and don't tend to go out but this time we did for a half day which was lovely. The weather wasn't great when we were there this time with plenty of rain which made it even cosier and romantic as we were engulfed by the mist in the evenings.
Thanks again all for a wonderful stay and look forward to next time!!!
Overall a stunning stay
