The Gourmet Camp Oven Experience is a four-course culinary adventure located in the picturesque outback of Kununurra, the East Kimberley, Western Australia. Owned and operated by Josh and Tamsyn Melville, it is their sole purpose to give their guests the most unique restaurant experience and memories that will last for a lifetime.

Josh has a background in Zoology and a post-graduate degree in Environmental Management and his passion for nature led him from New Zealand to the beautiful East Kimberley where he has focused his guiding talents for the past 14 years. 

 

In 2015, Josh created his own tourism venture 'Lake Argyle Adventures' while working on the cruises at Lake Argyle Resort and Caravan Park. Demand for Josh's tours ensured that what started as a side project became a full-time operation over the Kimberley's dry season. The Gourmet Camp Oven Experience in particular quickly became a crowd favourite and is now regarded as a 'must do' for both locals and visitors alike.

In 2023, the time came for Josh and Tamsyn to leave behind their Lake Argyle cliffside dinner for the majestic outback of Kununurra where the Gourmet Camp Oven Experience is located today.

Josh's love for food is second to none. From 10 years of age, he began cooking dinner for the family (holding a firm belief that the chef doesn't do the dishes!). As head chef, Josh has hand-picked his favourite flavours of the East Kimberley and uses only the best local and fresh ingredients for the Gourmet Camp Oven Experience. His attention to detail ensures a charming Kimberley atmosphere and that every meal is plated to perfection!

​​

He also has a Trinity College of Music Performers degree and showcases his musical talents during the event - you are serenaded whilst enjoying your delectable main course.

 

Behind every successful man is an amazing woman! Josh's wife and best friend is the beautiful English rose Tamsyn. 

 

Tamsyn complimented Josh as the hard-working hostess and sous chef until the end of the 2024 season. Tamsyn is still involved behind the scenes and is the most amazing mum.​

 So does the Gourmet Camp Oven Experience get the people's tick of approval? Our guests definitely think so!  Voted the number 1 experience in Kununurra on TripAdvisor - our multi award winning outback restaurant is one for everyone's Kimberley bucket list.
