Other things to note
Whitelodge is professionally cleaned with eco friendly products and where possible cleaning products supplies are organic. This not only protects our environment but keeps the septic system and tank water clean.
You will need insect repellents in spring and summer, it’s a forest!
The wood fired pizza oven requires an experienced operator so we do not allow guests to use the oven, sorry.
A professional in house chef can be recommended for ANY of your bespoke catering requirements. He will come to the house, prepare, cook, serve and clean up so you don’t need to leave the house or drive. Comparable to restaurant prices, this is a great option for a special occasion either indoors or in the garden. Just ask and we will put you in touch with chef Mark to discuss your requirements and give you a quote. As a price guide expect around $125pp for a 3 course dinner.
Taxis and Uber’s are getting better but not the most reliable. Booking ahead is advised. There are local buses and Belgrave train station is the nearest to get you to and from melbourne. The station is approx 5 kms from the house.
