Eatery and Bar, is in Amberley, only 25 minutes away. And you are sure to enjoy a pizza and assortment of brews at the award-winning Brew Moon Brewing Company.

Dinner at Tipapa Estate – Notice Essential
Spending an evening with us sharing food and conversation is part of the Tipapa experience. Stewart is a talented home cook, and when Jane can be coaxed from the garden into the kitchen she bakes delicious cakes and desserts, often featuring our home-grown fruit.
PLEASE NOTE that due to other commitments we cannot always provide dinner, even with notice. Please enquire if you are interested.
If you’d like to join us for dinner, please give us at least one week’s notice. We serve family-style meals, dining with us or other guests, and we all eat whatever Stewart feels like cooking that fits your preferences and dietary requirements. Stewart’s “Cooks choice” features something delicious and seasonal. Family meals are either 2-courses (entrée-main or main-dessert) for $75 per person or 3-courses (entrée-main-dessert) for $90 per person. Please inform us of any dietary requirements or allergies.
Special request meal costs vary based on seasonal availability.
