Cooma House Cooking School offers in-house cooking schools – hands on and/or demonstrations in a light-filled commercial teaching kitchen at their guesthouse Flinders Island Retreat, Cooma House, where they cater for private functions too.

Minimum numbers apply or book the whole accommodation for your getaway for a time away with friends or a special get-away like an intimate wedding. It’s not conspicuous consumption at Cooma House.

Your host and owner, Wendy Jubb Stoney is a trained teacher with a background of cooking with some of Australia’s best chefs. Understand the science of cooking. Indulge yourself with meals using produce from the garden and the local environment. Take the recipes away with you in a bespoke folder to use later.

Sit at the century-old dining table and enjoy being served. Stay a few days, slow right down. You are catered for at the guesthouse with five guest rooms and en-suites with separate toilet.

The attached accommodation has bespoke furnishings and local artworks. The sitting rooms, library, open fire, north facing courtyard have views to the sea, whatever the season.
