Kittawa Lodge is thrilled to announce Sydney chef Corey Costelloe will take residence at Kittawa Lodge for a week-long culinary collaboration in May. This will be Costelloe’s first culinary collaboration since recently departing Rockpool Bar & Grill after 15 years.
With two three-night packages for four people, Kittawa Lodge and Costelloe have curated the ultimate food and luxury experience, with Corey personally cooking for guests in their lodge.
Kittawa Lodge is one of Australia’s leading luxury lodges, and was named Australia’s number one resort in the Conde Nast Traveler 2023 Readers Choice Awards. A secluded, ocean front 96-acre property on King Island, Kittawa Lodge offers refined boutique accommodation, with panoramic views of the untouched rugged coastal landscape. Completely off-grid, each lodge is architecturally designed to maximise your connection to the outdoors while minimising exposure to the elements.
Corey will cook private dinners each night for guests, creating an intimate setting whereby guests can learn from and interact with Corey as he practises his food philosophy – using locally and best in class sourced produce with simple cooking techniques. A selection of Tasmanian wines, beers and spirits are included throughout the guests’ stay and matching Tasmanian wines will be served with dinner. Corey will also provide breakfast provisions and baked treats to be enjoyed in the lodge at each guest’s leisure, along with a private lunch experience and one picnic lunch experience.
Corey is an Australian chef with over 26-years experience, working in some of Australia’s best restaurants. Completing his apprenticeship at Catalina with the McMahon Family, Corey then went on to work on Hayman Island before returning to Sydney and working at Flying Fish alongside Peter Kuruvita. Corey started working at Rockpool Bar and Grill Sydney when it opened in 2009 and was Chef Neil Perry’s right-hand for 12 years, leading pop-up restaurants at major events including the Singapore Grand Prix, The Australian Open and World’s 50 Best Restaurants in New York and Melbourne. Corey was culinary director at Rockpool Bar and Grill and Hunter Street Hospitality Group for three years, overseeing 9 restaurants across Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne. Under Corey’s direction, Rockpool Bar and Grill Sydney has maintained 2 chefs’ hats since it opened in 2009 and was recently voted 8th Best Steak Restaurant in the world.
With a philosophy of simple cooking and sourcing the best produce, Corey has established himself as one of the country’s leading figures when talking about quality produce, in particular beef and seafood.
With just two packages available, experience intimate private dinners by Corey Costelloe while encountering the beautiful and spectacularly remote Kittawa Lodge.
