The central guest area comprises an open-sided dining room, lounge and library, all raised on stilts for superb views.

Cuisine and Wine

Oliver's Camp specializes in delicious home-cooked meals served alfresco to guests either in an indoor or outdoor environment (weather and temperature-dependent).

Dinners are three-course sit-down meals, with a traditional barbecue served once a week.
