Delicious picnic baskets prepared on order for you to take on your romantic rainforest walk

Beautiful scenery, a colourful picnic mat, a basket of scrumptious food and two people in love … the timeless art of the romantic picnic.

As well as our amazing rainforest walks, at the Retreat we have many different picnic spots including the orchard (which is beautiful with a picnic basket and a bottle of Moet), private rock pools along the creek, under a 400-year-old tree, beautiful mountain views and even an ocean view. There are also many stunning country drives in the area.

We freshly prepare and refrigerate the picnics to keep them cool and fresh for you to pick up from our reception any time after 11am – when we put them into either a backpack or a basket for you. Like all our meals, Picnic Lunch Baskets need to be ordered in advance.

  • As we are in a remote location and like to buy our produce fresh, 48 hours’ notice is requested for all meals. This allows us to provide you with an extensive menu with the freshest, tastiest ingredients possible.
  • Each meal is ample for one couple and cannot be mix-and-matched.
  • We are able to cater for some dietary requirements, as much as our remote location allows. Please contact us for more information.
