Restaurant

Rotorua has climatic conditions that favor many berry varieties as well as kiwifruit and cherries. Our own garden is well used by the chefs as well as garnishes and herbs. Nearby orchards in Whakatane and Katikati supply wider produce selections and the strong Maori population gives the opportunity to present indigenous ingredients such as Kumara, Maori potatoes and edible plants. The emphasis of the evening meal is to produce changing tasting experiences of best seasonal vegetables served with prime New Zealand meat and fish. The Menu is a five course and includes starter, entrée, sorbet, 2 mains choice and dessert.
