About Calais Estate

Select from our stunning venues on the Estate:

Calais House - Fancy 5 bedrooms & 5 bathrooms (for soaking) indoor & outdoor dining options plus a swimming pool.

The Barrel Room - This is a working barrel room, truly unique with rustic elegance, and can seat 180 guests or 300 for a cocktail-style event.

The Verandah - A lovely restaurant area with a big verandah. The view is scenic, great for sit-down dinners of 60 or cocktail-style functions of 90.

The Courtyard - A beautiful spot open to the sky, for a casual affair of 40 sit-down or up to 120 cocktail-style guests.

The Private Tasting Room - Found down the end of a sandstone hallway, the intimate room bubbling with old-world charm is ideal for meetings and dinner for 12 seated.
