Dining at Paperbark Camp

The Gunyah (Aboriginal for meeting place)
is the heart of the camp.

The Gunyah treetop dining room also welcomes non-resident guests for breakfast, afternoon cocktails, bar snacks and dinner. Bookings are essential. In 2026 the Gunyah is closed Wednesdays unless for group booking by prior arrangement.

We are excited to announce, as of Thursday 26th February, we will once again be presenting an a la carte menu which will offer guests more choice and better cater to differing tastes and dietary preferences, hope to see you here soon.

With a focus on seasonality and sustainability, and a curated selection of regional wines and locally brewed beer, the fine dining at the Gunyah elevates 'bush tucker' to new heights. Start your day with a hearty home-cooked breakfast to set you up for a day exploring and return to camp for afternoon tea or a romantic candlelit dinner on the verandah. All thoughtfully prepared with local and seasonal ingredients to create a menu that reflects Australia’s multicultural heritage.

The Gunyah is not only a restaurant but also serves as the camp’s reception, bar, and communal lounge area, welcoming in-house guests and visitors alike, and also includes facilities to accommodate those with access needs.

About The Gunyah

Designed by Sydney architects Nettleton Tribe, The Gunyah is a unique space, built high off the ground to enjoy the sea breeze and a wonderful position amongst tree tops.

In the warmer months, the sliding doors open up for outdoor dining on the verandah, providing a bushy backdrop to candlelit meals and to observe the goings on of our resident possums, sugar gliders and birdlife.

In winter, an open fire with cosy lounges is the perfect place to curl up after dinner with a nightcap, perhaps swap a few traveling tales with other guests, or enjoy a game of cards.

The Gunyah is our dining room, reception and communal lounge and is also where you head to for free Wi-Fi and access to additional charging stations.

Guests are welcome to help themselves to tea or coffee during the day (or for some, the middle of the night!) or order an espresso style coffee.

The Gunyah and surrounds also makes for a beautifully romantic wedding venue and inspirational space for small meetings and corporate retreats.

Had a lovely dinner here... the atmosphere was very relaxed with good service and excellent food! Would highly recommend.
