A Taste of Gariwerd: Unpacking the Complimentary Hamper at the Nook
Your arrival at the Nook is the moment the noise of daily life finally fades into the background. There are no formalities here; stepping inside, you feel a comforting sense of warm familiarity, your home-away-from-home. It is an immediate invitation to relax, unspool and settle in.
Waiting for you is the warmest welcome of all: our complimentary local hamper.
We believe that true luxury is local. It’s about connecting you to the landscape you are staying in. That is why every booking at the Nook includes a generous complimentary arrival hamper, curated to showcase the finest artisanal producers in the Grampians (Gariwerd).
Your Grazing Feast
We’ve curated the perfect hamper so you can savour the delicious creations of our local producers and artisans from the moment you arrive. Your hamper is designed for grazing, sharing and slowing down:
- Blue Wren Bakery: We provide a fresh loaf of their famous sourdough, plus their artisanal crackers and tangy house-made pickles… the backbone of any good platter.
- Grampians Olive Co.: We serve their premium organic table olives, harvested from the historic groves just down the road.
- Grampians General Store: Our cheese and dips are hand-selected by Nadya at the beautiful Grampians General Store in Pomonal, ensuring you get the best Australian-made produce available.
- Five Ducks Farm: A taste of the region’s fruit, featuring their delicious small-batch Shiraz and Raspberry jams.
- Kerrie’s Kreations: No romantic getaway is complete without chocolate. We include handcrafted treats from local chocolatier Kerrie’s Kreations for a sweet finish.
The Local Drop
To pair with your grazing board, you’ll find a bottle of premium wine from both of our local partners, Pomonal Estate and Black & Ginger.
Beyond the fresh produce, we want you to feel completely at home. You don’t need to worry about the basics. Our pantry is fully stocked with:
- Local free-range eggs, muesli and milk for a slow breakfast.
- Quality tea and coffee.
- A comprehensive spice drawer to elevate your cooking.
- Local olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Sweet Comforts: We also provide marshmallows and hot chocolate, perfect for a cosy evening treat by the fire or under the stars.
The “Rising Tide” Philosophy
When you enjoy these treats, you are supporting a circular economy. We operate on a “rising tide” philosophy: when guests stay at the Nook, our local bakers, growers and makers thrive too.
So, pour a glass, slice the sourdough, you’ve arrived.
