Kai ora: Our food

Memorable home-cooked dinners infused with kai Maori accompanied by fine New Zealand wines.

Flavorsome and healthy dishes are our specialty at the Lodge. We use the freshest locally grown produce and when available our traditional Maori food – kai and herbs. Your meal is complemented by an array of fine New Zealand wine and beer.

Every day Karen decides what will be cooked for you for your breakfast to ensure only the freshest and the very best is served. Lunch may be enjoyed at the lodge, or equally from a hamper made up for you, to take on your excursion.

Dinner is prepared by arrangement, so it is important that we have at least 24 hours notice.

Special dietary requirements need to be advised in advance.

Karen is happy to share any of her ‘tried and true’ recipes like smoked trout pate or kawakawa bread.

Choose to dine either in the main dining room, on the deck overlooking the lake and mountain.
