“One thing I wouldn’t have expected in a country town … was a funky homewares shop … it pays not to get too smug about living in one of the world’s biggest cities, particularly when the shopping in a small country town is superior.”

“Part cellar door, part one-stop shop, Koonara encourages you to taste its organic wines as you browse the homewares, gifts, jewellery, clothing and gourmet treats. The concept is “everything you need for a good dinner party”, such as Savor glassware designed by the winery’s director Dru Reschke.”
