The magnificent Stamford Park Homestead was built in 1882 by the entrepreneurial Row family as a Gentleman’s Residence. After many years of neglect, the homestead and six acres of grounds have been aesthetically restored, allowing it to once again become the ‘Jewel in Knox City’. Stamford Parks current custodians, have waved their ‘whimsical’ magic of both design and true hospitality over the beautiful estate and it is now a stunning property serving the public for what it was originally intended – a place to gather, meet, entertain and unwind.

    Excellent wines and wine knowledge. Beautiful little tucked away bar with the ambience of a special little place that locals only get to know about .. worth going looking to find it hidden in its arcade/laneway location. Great place for a date, to catch up with special friends, or for an afternoon wine sampling at the bar. Accomodating with food dietaries and a good modern international food mix.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kishiro with friends, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! The cocktails were exceptional, perfectly crafted and refreshing. Each sip was a delightful start to our meal. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. The kingfish sashimi was a standout dish; it was incredibly fresh and the dumplings paired beautifully with the chili oil sauce, which added just the right amount of kick. Every bite was a burst of flavor that left us wanting more. The mains were equally impressive. They were not only delicious but also very filling, ensuring that we left the restaurant completely satisfied. We truly enjoyed everything we ordered, and each dish showcased the skill and creativity of the chefs. Overall, Kishiro exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy fantastic Japanese cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere. I can't wait to return and try more of their offerings!
