TASTE TRAIL - A four-course Christmas lunch!

The festive season is upon us, and everyone is planning their end of year get-togethers, group celebrations, and Christmas festivities.

One place that does this season so well is Kondalilla Eco Resort and Restaurant. The rainforest restaurant is set amongst the trees overlooking the Kondalilla National Park, and is lined with twinkling lights all along its outdoor deck, whilst inside is cosy and welcoming, and decorated for the festive season.

Lisa Jovic, who heads Kondalilla’s Marketing and Social Media, shares, “We have two- and three-course set menus complete with festive cocktails, which are available for group bookings during November and December, catering for small or large groups.”

Christmas Day Lunch will be a festive feast for the whole family! 

“Our talented chefs have curated a four-course sharing banquet, starting with a Christmas cocktail or mocktail and freshly baked breads, followed by a selection of starters, including fresh seafood and other culinary delights. 

“You can then feast on a choice of chicken, lamb or vegetarian loaf, served with all the festive trimmings plus some extra special accompaniments. And to finish, we have an assortment of decadent homemade desserts. It will be a Christmas meal to remember!”

For larger events for up to 80 guests all year round, the Picnic Creek Event Room is an ideal location for celebrations, birthdays, intimate weddings, corporate functions, workshops and wellbeing retreats. 

“There are several catering options available from the restaurant team, and the resort can accommodate up to 62 guests in its rainforest cabins and rooms,” explains Lisa.

“The great thing about Kondalillia is that everything is in one place, with food, comfort, luxury, swims and walks all on your doorstep. Winter is especially magical with crackling fires and cosy cabins.”

For those appreciative of environmental values where they stay, the resort has a conservation vision designed to preserve the Kondalilla National Park’s rainforest environment and waterfalls, to maximise recycling and eliminate single-use plastic, and to conserve energy via Smart technologies such as LED lights and water-conserving bathroom fittings.

“We also have two service golf carts and a hybrid car for transferring our guests and picking up our local goods because we know every little bit counts,’ adds Lisa.

“We want you to relax and step away from the hustle and bustle of life when you visit, especially over Christmas! Take a dip in the magnesium-heated saltwater pool, while surrounded by lush rainforest; unwind in the sauna, or explore peaceful walking trails. 

“Kondalilla Eco Resort is designed to help you reconnect with nature, yourself, and your loved ones.”
