Brae Restaurant

Australia’s premier dining destination. Brae offers a unique, nature-based hospitality experience that has earned national and international acclaim for over a decade.

Set in Victoria’s Otways, the sustainable, design-focused restaurant and carbon-neutral guest suites sit within lush native gardens on a productive 20-acre organic farm. Guests are invited to explore the landscape and connect with the source of their food.

Chef-owner Dan Hunter creates a seasonal, multi-course menu built around locality. Ninety percent of plants served are grown organically onsite, including native foods and wheat that is harvested, milled and baked daily within meters of the dining room. The menu also features sustainable Australian seafood, wild produce and ethically raised meat.

Brae’s regenerative farm produces vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, olives, wheat and honey. Wheelchair-accessible walking paths and interpretive signage guide guests through gardens, olive groves and vegetable beds. Weekly tours with Brae’s Head Gardener offer deeper insight into the land.

Six carbon-neutral guest suites by Six Degrees Architects generate more energy than they consume. Constructed from recycled materials, they use solar power, rainwater and a worm farm waste system. Interiors feature king beds, organic linen, skylights for stargazing, Melbourne-made furniture, turntables with curated records, cocktail bars, underfloor heating and private outdoor areas with sweeping views.
