Cuisine

Evening Dining is a highlight, with guests seated together at one of three large tables with a blazing log fire in the background.

The blend of nationalities, ages and interests ensures convivial dining. However, honeymooning couples and other guests who prefer a more intimate setting for their meals are welcome to request a private dining room.

The candlelit table adorned with fresh flowers, sparkling crystal, crisp linen and polished silver add to the overall luxurious atmosphere.

Having lived and worked around the world, your hosts are pleased to offer an unparalleled range of dining experiences, and can cater to any taste, whether you prefer traditional New Zealand cuisine, using the finest local ingredients, or prefer to try something more unusual, whether it be authentic cuisine from East Asia, South America, North Africa or the Middle East.
