Spicers Clovelly Estate

Location, service, food were all a great experience. Staff in Long Apron were excellent. This venue has a lovely, homely ambience. Our tour with Franz around the gardens and his information on the history of the property was wonderful. Thank you Franz. Our coffee machine in our room did not work properly. It was replaced but same issue! Our connection to this venue has spanned many years. We always feel so at home each time we come and stay.

A beautiful place to stay in a scenic location. The grounds were spectacular and the Long Apron restaurant was lovely. |The rooms were beautifully decorated and the bathroom, with spa bath, was fabulous.|But their biggest asset is their wonderful staff!

It was a lovely experience. The staff are all lovely and the estate is breathtaking.

We booked for a long weekend to celebrate a birthday. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The staff, the meals and the rooms were just perfect. Outstanding value.

We had our wedding at Spicers Clovelly Estate and the team there made it perfect. From the moment we met Sharayah a year ago, where she welcomed us by name, a huge smile and a glass of bubbles and a scone, to the impeccable service of Suzanne and Rob the past weekend, the whole team went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend so special. The venue itself is spectacular with beautifully kept grounds. The rooms are amazing. Clean, big, super comfy beds. The food is incredible, as expected from a hatted restaurant. But it’s the team there that truly make this venue what it is. Sharayah, Rob, Maca, Suzanne and the rest of the team are exceptional and nothing is too much effort. A particular shout out to Suzanne who is the best and warmest host we’ve ever experienced. She is such an asset and was a highlight for us. Thank you so much to all of you for making our wedding weekend so special.

I just had an hour and a half flora and fauna tour with Franz. He has been working at the Estate here for many years, and shared his knowledge on the transformation of the original pineapple farm to how it has become the beautiful manicured gardens it is now. Franz even shared photos dating over the past 70 years. His knowledge explaining every name of the trees, plants and flowers is beyond magnificent. I learned so much about fig trees and how it becomes an inside out fruit thanks to the female wasp, to how the Jacaranda tree grows to become the beautiful backdrop for their garden weddings and even medicinal uses of litchen. Then a refreshing walk through the rainforest to the back of the property which overlooks the lake. Thank you Franz!!!!

We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch here and the food, service and ambience was impeccable. Local musician Chris Ah Gee and his wife Jazz were performing a delicate variety of music which was a nice surprise as we saw them on Australian Idol 2025.
