Dining
The on-site restaurant, Wild Child, serves American, British, French, Thai, and Asian cuisines with focus on organic, environmentally friendly ingredients. Breakfast is a three-course à la carte menu, while dinner includes dishes like Massaman lamb curry and seafood fried rice. Cooking classes and themed dinner nights are offered, with dietary requirements accommodated on request.
