Sous Chef

Crystalbrook Bailey is a 5-star hotel, embodying modernity, innovation, and ardent appreciation for all the arts. Bailey chooses the path less travelled. The type of character you will find at the local farmer’s market rather than a supermarket or exploring the latest exhibition at the museum rather than at a rock concert. Bailey loves originality, individuality, and attention to detail. 

CC's Bar and Grill is our premium dining venue at Bailey, where we are redefining the traditional steakhouse, drawing inspiration from the wild landscapes and unspoiled charm of the Australian outback. Nationally recognized with several awards for excellence, we are famous for our steak, the majority of which is sourced from our backyard.
