@kneadingruby has a way of making the hours disappear: garlic bread in the middle of the table, plates passed around, a negroni that somehow becomes two, and that familiar feeling that you`re not quite ready to call it a night 🤌
For just $59 a head, the set menu lets everyone try a little of everything, with plenty of dishes to share and a few new favourites to discover.
Send this to the group chat and start planning your next night out 😉

Who said slowing down means sitting still? 😏
Sometimes a reset looks like getting out on the water, following a trail through the escarpment, riding through rainforest, finding your rhythm in the pool or heading offshore with a fishing rod.
Maybe it’s mountain biking through the landscape. Maybe it’s climbing through the treetops.
However you like to spend your time outside, Wollongong and the surrounding region give you plenty of ways to move, explore and find your own pace 🙌
Your spring reset can look however you want it to. Want to experience it for yourself? Head to the link in bio to enter to win a Wollongong spring escape worth over $1,400!

Sea Cliff Bridge, the rock pools, the hikes, the beaches. All incredible parts of Wollongong…
But let’s be honest, you’re really here for the palm tree on a pole 😉🌴
