The Tuki Story
The Tuki story is not your average yarn. Born from necessity, Tuki is a mix of passion and hard work.
Tuki is a special getaway situated on the historic “Stoney Rises”, an area steeped in farming history for over 170 years and has been in the Jones Family for now four generations.
Paddock to plate for four generations
Tuki is situated on the historic “Stoney Rises”, an area steeped in farming history for over 170 years and has been in the Jones Family for now four generations. The concept of Tuki began in 1985, when the farm was first open to guests as a trout fishing venue. At this time, Australia’s largest commercial flock of Tukidale sheep grazed on the property, hence the name Tuki.
Over the coming years, Tuki grew to incorporate a restaurant, accommodation, and commercial butchery, so as to feed visiting guests, share our picturesque location and to supply ethically grown produce to restaurants and the general public of the local region.
As Tuki approaches its 40th year, the Jones family are as passionate as ever to take Tuki into a new era, showcasing the best produce our farm and region have to offer. For over four decades, we have evolved and refined an innovative approach to a cuisine modelled around principles of ethical, sustainable production.
We hope you’ll find this landscape and your experience within it as special as we do.
