Aire Valley Restaurant - Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 10, 2009 – Aire Valley Guest House has now opened its doors to the public as a restaurant. Dinner here is picked or dug from the garden after diners have ordered from the menu.
Set in 15 acres of lush Otway hillside, Aire Valley Restaurant and Guest House has a garden packed with fruit trees, vegetables and herbs. Diners and guests can wander freely round the citrus orchards and vegetable gardens before dinner and savour the smells of food growing for their dinner.
Owners Annabel and Martin Tunley bought the property 5 years ago with the dream of it becoming a sustainable restaurant. Annabel has worked previously in the kitchens and dining rooms of the Queen’s summer residence at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and learned there the value of home growing; the Queen has a well stocked garden.
She says the taste difference of home grown produce is immeasurable and shouldn’t just be the luxury of the Royal Family.  Nowhere on the Great Ocean Road or Great Ocean Walk will visitors find such fresh and organically grown produce: while the guests and diners are arriving at the property, they are safe in the knowledge that their dinner is still growing.
The Aire Valley Restaurant and Guest House ticks all the boxes regarding buzz words of the moment- bio diverse, organic, sustainable, chemical free and eco-friendly, but all Annabel and Martin really want you to do is taste food as it should be, ripe and picked a moment ago.
