Taste
Enjoy the architecturally designed lodge
There is nothing like relaxing – drink in hand – in front of the Lodge’s striking feature fireplace. Its warmth and ambiance draw you in to share stories, wine and laughter around the flames. Order a glass of Gibbston Valley wine from the bar, before sinking into one of the plush armchairs or sofas that encircle it. Next door, is our sun-filled Conservatory, which is the ideal place to curl up with a good book.
The revolving a la carte menu, inspired by classic European cuisine with a modern New Zealand twist, uses seasonal and local produce. You will be offered a formal, multi-course ‘trust the chef’ option, for those looking for an intimate and indulgent dining experience; as well as lighter options for those looking for a relaxed bite by the fire or at the bar.
Whatever your mood and taste buds fancy, you will be spoilt for choice at our boutique luxury Lodge here in Queenstown.
