To celebrate the launch of Whittakers Chocolate ‘Peanut + Caramel Brittle Block’, Good Appetite hosted a Winter Escape at Mona Farm. There was chocolate, of course, but there was also yoga, painting, s’mores, stargazing, baking and more.

“The business benefits of corporate retreats are well-established, from fostering creativity to boosting productivity and increasing staff retention over the long term. But if you asked each HC team member, we would probably proudly suggest we are already strong in all these areas. We really are a tight-knit group and we really love our jobs, not gonna lie. However, after just 24 hours at Mona Farm soaking up a specially tailored program, we have reached new levels of interpersonal understanding, ambition, and gratitude that will fuel us for the rest of the year. There is undoubtedly a little extra pep in our step..”

Last night’s fire-inspired culinary collaboration with Firedoor was even better than we could have imagined. We enjoyed a quintessential Aussie summers day, Lennox & Tristan’s 5-course menu was EXCEPTIONAL and to top it all off, our guests enjoyed a (Firedoor) red lunar eclipse for dessert. Wow. Special thanks to Pig & Pilgrim, Collector Wines, Visit Braidwood , Carlotta and Gee and of course, our friends over at Firedoor.

In early June, before NSW went into lockdown, Nadia and her close group of friends joined us for a winter weekend at Mona Farm. During their stay, the group enjoyed a hit of golf, a private dining experience and a Negroni by the fire for good measure.
