Spring/Summer Lodge Dinners

Our Lodge Dinners are very popular with our guests (see our reviews on TripAdvisor). 

We also featured recently in this article of the very best food & accommodation experiences to be had in this region. 

We select the very best seasonal produce to showcase our Lodge's, and New Zealand's, fabulous food & wine.

Please note: There is limited availability of our Lodge Dinners. Please contact us to find out if available during your stay.

Canapés of the Day are served in the guest lounge, or in the Lodge's beautiful gardens,

with your choice of a fine NZ wine or a locally brewed, award-winning craft beer.

The Main Course will be ONE of the following, based on best available produce and any special dietary needs: 

 Bluff Salmon, hot-smoked over Manuka, with a Whisky & Brown Sugar marinade

Chickpea & Carrot Patties with Avocado Cream & local cress delights our vegetarian/vegan guests.

The main course is accompanied by duck fat-roasted Agria Potatoes, with a fresh, seasonal salad or vegetable side dish from the Lodge gardens.

A NZ wine to suit the dish, or your palate, will be served.
