    Ideal venue for a family celebratory lunch.

    Basil's Farm is beautifully positioned overlooking Swan Bay. Eight of our group shared the Lunch Package which I would certainly recommend. The food was varied and delicious and of a very generous quantity. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
