Episode: 3
Presenter: Chrissy
Air Date: 8 March 2026
Chrissy explores the beautiful slice of countryside gardens in Coogee Common, a place that harvests their produce and brings it straight to the plate all in the same place.
- Coogee Common is located in a heritage building that was originally the Coogee Hotel, which was built in 1894, once known as Four-Mile Well and a local gathering place for workers and travellers overlooking Coogee Beach.
- The restaurant’s menus are built around extensive on-site gardens, with most produce harvested daily and used in seasonal dishes that reflect a farm-to-plate process.
- The property includes vegetable gardens, berry patches, rescued olive trees, fig trees, beehives and vineyards many of which supply herbs, fruits and honey to the kitchen and drink offerings.
- Coogee Common offers botanical cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks made with garden herbs, alongside a curated list of local Western Australian wines and craft beers.
- Guests can enjoy dining indoors in stylish heritage-inspired spaces or outdoors on the verandah and terrace overlooking the gardens ideal for relaxed lunches or sunset dinners.
- Visitors can join garden tours that explore the working gardens and learn about the ingredients used in dishes, with options that combine touring with multi-course meals.
- Coogee Common often has a farm shop where guests can purchase house-made preserves, organic honey, pickles and other garden-inspired products to take home.
- The gardens and restored building also serve as a unique setting for events and special occasions, including private dinners, weddings, and celebrations with bespoke menus and spaces.
