Wagga Wagga – Werribee

After a better night’s sleep, we got the van in and the work was done by 12:30pm. With about 325kms to Melbourne and our usual powerful engine back, we hit the road. Decided to splurge with our Accor Advantage Card and booked in at the Sofitel Mansion Spa in Werribee. We arrived at 7:30pm to find no dogs even allowed on the grounds, so we were really lucky Midget didn’t make a noise – well at least we didn’t hear her.

After lovely long showers and clean clothes (luxury) we made it downstairs for dinner at Joseph’s. They do a 2 course or a 3 course meal. The choices were exquisite. When the waiter bought out each course he pointed to each item on the plate and mentioned what it was as there was a long and varied list of interesting items we’d never seen or eaten in some cases. We finished with the cheese fondue for 2 for desert. It came out with a dish of truffle honey (as thick as treacle) and tiny 5cm long French sticks and at the other end was a huge wheel of bree that had been softened. We sliced open the lid of the cheese and dipped the bread into the honey then into the cheese. Wow what a gastronomic delight! After a bottle of Jantz Rose bubbles, we were ready for bed.
