Restaurant
Our in-house bar and restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is popular amongst house-guests, locals and visitors alike. Our focus is on serving traditional pub favourites with a twist, using the freshest seasonal produce from the region. Central Otago is home to some of New Zealand’s top artisan food producers and we endeavour to buy local wherever possible. Our wine list features top-quality drops from some of the region’s best wineries, and we have a selection of premier craft beers on tap.
