A table set by candlelight in Vera’s dining room

The dining room warms
beneath vaulted plaster,
as the evening draws
people to the table

Vera means true in Italian. Contemporary Australian dining beneath the vaulted ceilings of Marlowe Chambers, 1928.

In their words

Everyone leaves with a different room.

One dining room, four services, and a good deal said about it afterwards. These are the parts people bring up.

The Grand Hall at Vera, arched windows and warm evening light

Breakfast

Half past six in the morning and the arched windows have the whole room to themselves. I started coming just for that.
