There's a rhythm to life at our house on the lake - a sequence of ongoing daily rituals... Bread is rolled, fresh flowers are arranged, coffee is ground, tables are set. Mountains of fresh produce come through the kitchen doors, borne by proud suppliers. Cooks butcher, peel and chop. The rhythm continues on through the day into the evening, with the soft murmur of guests and the clink of glasses. Final lights out offers a mere few hours respite before the bakers return and the rhythm resumes once again.

New Position: Full-Time or Part-Time Bakers

  • The launch of our bake house at Dairy Flat Farm has been received with extraordinary applause from delicious. magazine, Good Food, The Australian, Gourmet Traveller and more…

    This could be your opportunity to make your mark. If you understand that not all bread is created equal; if you believe in the importance of sustaining small-scale grain economies, if you already excel in and love producing real, slow-fermented sourdough and associated viennoisserie, we may have a position for you.

    You’ll work in our excellently equipped brand-new bake house located at Dairy Flat Farm – just 8 minutes from the village of Daylesford and our iconic multi award-winning Lake House. The farms’ 38 acres (supplying Lake House) feature a productive vegetable and cutting garden, orchard, olive grove, vineyard, and private lodge. The bake house looks out over established ornamental hedgerow gardens.

    You’ll also have the teams at Lake House and Wombat Hill House to bounce off.

    For a full-time baker wishing to make a real tree change, a position is available in 2020 together with excellent 2-bedroom villa accommodation.
