Owner John Singleton aimed to create a restaurant that highlights the natural beauty of Mount White, where he lived for over 30 years. To realise his vision, Singleton enlisted the expertise of the esteemed White + Dickson Architects and Interior Designer Michelle Leslie to design a structure that harmoniously blends with the surrounding flora and fauna.

From large log fireplaces, stunning dried floral arrangements, unique barstools (hence the name saddles) and magnificent water views and scenery, Saddles Mount White is a beautiful place to visit.
