The Camden area is buzzing with a variety of dining options for all budgets and occasions. Not only are there cuisines from all around the world, they are delivered with authenticity and love. Catherine Park Estate residents are well situated to enjoy all the foodie gems that the area has to offer, some of which are listed below.

 

The Camden area is blessed with a number of historical homesteads that add character, depth and narratives to the region. Harrington Estates takes great pride in local history and has restored three local homesteads within its estates with meticulous attention to detail.The first was Harrington Park house, followed by Orielton Homestead and Catherine Park House. Orielton commenced in 2014 and has only just been completed due to the grand scale of the undertaking.

In the Beginning

The grand home began as a hut belonging to Edward Lord, who was granted the 1620 acres of land by Governor Macquarie in 1815. It was acquired by John Dickson in 1822, who demolished the hut and built a four-room home as an outstation for his farm manager in 1830. The Perry family extended Orielton between 1847-1860 with the addition of eight rooms, including kitchens, servants’ rooms and stores.

Robbins Lane will feature a combination of Town, Villa and Terrace Homes that combine to create an interesting vista that will incorporate something for everyone. While all contributing their own unique characteristics, the various homes will unite to create the unique Robbins Lane landscape.

The modern and uniquely designed double-storey Terrace Homes maximise space and energy whilst still maintaining the needs of every family. The 4-bedroom design adds a level of freedom and privacy that truly set them apart, enhancing the lives of the people who will call them home.

As far as sophisticated living goes, there is no better example than the Town Homes along Robbins Lane. Built with longevity and utility in mind, they exemplify the very best in modern living. Town Home 117 contains three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and two garages set on 203sqm, ideal for a couple, a young family or downsizers.

Featuring a gourmet kitchen with Caesarstone benches and modern appliances, porcelain floor tiles, an alfresco area with gas bayonet point, ducted air conditioning and an alarm system, it is ready to move straight into.

After turning the clocks forward one hour at 2am on Sunday 7 October, there are always slight adjustments to be made in the days following. But the gains are immense, with more sunlight in the afternoons leading to more time spent outdoors in the warmer months. Here are some ideas about how to spend your extra hour everyday. 

Enjoy a midweek barbecue outside

Barbecues are banished in winter to exceptionally sunny weekend lunches, but in summer they can become a weekly midweek dinner special. Pour a cold drink, make a fresh salad and fire up the burners to enjoy a casual meal by twilight. Better yet, make it a weekly tradition!
