Our Story
Our Story
The Summerhouse is an all-day, integrated multi-concept and multi-experience destination boasting a suite of distinctive and exclusive spaces and facilities.
Housed in a sprawling conservation bungalow on the idyllic grounds of Seletar Airport, The Summerhouse offers a host of dining and event possibilities for any group size or occasion, by way of its farm-to-table Restaurant, its charmingly bucolic Café and Bar, its uniquely imaginative Garden Domes and lush edible garden, and its beautiful landscaped grounds. The Summerhouse connects with a farming collective of growers, producers and kelongs, to allow value-added and sustainable practices to be selected over others. This back-to-basic approach also sees garnishes and herbs used in the restaurant being harvested from the in-house edible garden, providing unrivalled freshness and provenance to the table.
Grow, Gather, Glow & Getaway
Originally built in the 1930s as a Royal Air Force bungalow, The Summerhouse is a conserved colonial estate set across 45,000 sqft of lush greenery in Seletar.
Since 2016, it has grown into a destination for dining, celebrations and unhurried moments, with ten distinctive spaces, from our edible Garden Beds and glass Garden Domes to The Lawn, Pavilion, Verandah and more.
At the heart of it all are four simple ideas: Grow, Gather, Glow, Getaway. Come for garden-to-table dining, gather with loved ones, celebrate milestones, or simply slow down and stay a little longer.
