Five Six 60
Just five guys chillaxing on the hillside at TA. Wait, what?! Ok so that’s SIX60 just chillaxing on the hillside at TA! And although they won’t be playing at our Sunday Seasion this weekend, we’ve got some marvellous local musos lined up ~ The Cellar Door Band with all things Mr N. Young.

So, if you’re off to Six 60 this weekend in The Stings ~ or even if you’re not ~ pop out to us on Sunday for a soul soothing chill on the hill. Ain’t much that beats live music! (Ok so maybe avocados do, but that’d be about it 🥑)

Return of the Sesh.
The long-awaited return of the Sunday Session happens this Sunday! The Cellar Door Band will bring all things Neil Young with local muso legends Scotty Smith, Lindsay Gibb, Tony Parker, Joel Wilton and Ben Throp.

You know the drill: gates open 12pm, music kicks in at 1pm and runs til 5pm. $5 on the gate, kids U12 free. Delicious pizza and platters available, but picnics ok too. Defo no BYO alcohol tho thanks, we’ve got you covered! Their music, our lawn, your vibe and glorious sunshine...all hail the mighty Sunday Sesh! ... See MoreSee Less

Back on deck.
Blessed be the holidays. It was the best. Back refreshed and fired up! (Well, RM is...I’m a slow burn!). So first...a chardy to ease us back in. ... See MoreSee Less

Seagull Caper.
The day just got better and better right in time for the annual Hatepe Seagull Caper. Boys and their old toys. Except for the only female. Who won. ... See MoreSee Less

Where the wild things are.
Though we’ve gone bush for a little bit, our champion crew at the Cellar Door have it all under control, the lights on, Rosé flowing and pizzas pumping. We thank them. They rock. ... See MoreSee Less

How blessed are we.
Good friends. Rolling banter. A gentle sun kissed glow. Gin. And a view. Happy New Year. We ♥️ you.

Bookety book book bookings!
Just while I have my feet up for a sec, with book in hand and very limited reception, the best bet to book tables for lunch at the Cellar Door at the mo is to phone or email, rather than message.

In the event of a wine or lunch emergency, our more than capable crew will 💯 know what to do! ... See MoreSee Less

Shoes off + shacked up.
We made it. And to be honest, we probably couldn’t have got there without ya’ll. Thank you for all your marvellous support during this extraordinary year (I’m watching The 👑, can you tell!). What a doozy. But with the bad, the mad and the uncertainty also came the good: more than ever we’ve a greater sense of what we are doing, why we are doing it and who we’re doing it for. It sure is a crazy old ride, but we love it!

Thank you to our more than magical crew who are holding the fort for a bit. Super stars.

And now a wee break. We’re putting some qual time into our little fam before the first one flies the nest. Imagine that. I can’t.

Merry Christmas. We really mean it. 🎄 ... See MoreSee Less

Tuckered out.

Today ~ closed
Wednesday ~ closed
Chrissy Eve ~ very open
Chrissy Day ~ slammed shut
Boxing Day ~ double down closed
Sunday 27-31 ~ open
New Year’s Day ~ defo closed

From there on in seven days a week at our usual 11am-5pm. And breathe 🧘 ... See MoreSee Less
