Steakhouse
The Cleves family welcomes you to the Barn Steakhouse where we have been serving the finest aged steaks since 1988. We are passionate about the fine Hereford cattle that we breed and finish on our properties in the region. This passion and pride can also be found in the Steakhouse. Great steak deserves great wine, and the award winning cellar features over 750 selections, the vast majority from the local wineries of the Limestone Coast, many having been cellared in our off site cellars so that they are aged to perfection. The cellar also features aged classics from leading Australian wine regions and a fine collection of International wines.
EVENTS
The Barn Palais has been hosting celebrations for the discerning since the 1940s. The Barn offers the complete wedding, celebration or conference destination, combining the stunning gardens, historic Palais, superb cuisine and outstanding service.
ABOUT US
W.F. Ploenges a German immigrant settled on section 426, Hundred of McDonnell in 1877. With his farming activities expanding, Friedrich built a large barn with stone picked up on the property, possibly the largest building of its type in the South east at the time. In 1919 Otto died suddenly and in 1928 Agusta sold the property to her husband’s nephew, Adelbert Spehr and he conceived the idea to convert the “Barn” into a Palais after the style he had seen in Germany on a trip to Europe in 1925. Consequently in 1937 it opened with 1000 people from the South east of South Australia and Western district of Victoria flocked to the opening of the” Barn Palais”. Today the activities of The Barn have been expanded with the acquisition of the neighbouring Barn Accommodation and the development of The Barn Catering business.
