“Eat good food & drink great wine”
To match our 3 spectacular venues, we believe that the food should be of equal standard. Rather than having a choice of set menu’s for you to choose from, let us know what your favourite dishes are and how you picture the dining aspect of your wedding or event and we’ll create a menu just for you.
The catering options at all 3 locations are really, unlimited and purely down to your style and preference. From relaxed champagne and cheese rolls, gourmet BBQ’s, and sit down degustation menu’s, our talented chefs will provide a range of options. Wedding cakes also available in house.
Quality produce is essential and no matter what dining option you choose we guarantee fresh, local, sustainable produce is used wherever possible. As New Zealand’s top vineyards are right on our doorstep, you will also have a choice of tasty drops to accompany your meals. Add a cocktail bar for entertainment and flare to keep the party going all night. We’ll create your signature cocktail and provide all the classics.
When you enquire, one of out team will get to know you and what you want for your event and create some options for you to choose from.
Say hello and let’s begin planning.
FAQs
Do we have to arrive by helicopter?
No, there is a beautiful off-road 4WD transport option taking roughly 1 hour 15 minutes from Queenstown’s centre. You can choose to be picked up and driven to the lodges, however the price is similar to helicopter transport.
Do we have to stay the night?
No, you can book either lodge for the day time without any accommodation at a reduced rate.
Can we do BYO?
Due to the remote location we strongly suggest that we supply all food and beverage however, if you have a special request just ask.
Is there Wi-Fi or phone signal?
There is no Wi-Fi at the lodges but there is phone signal. There is no phone signal or Wi-Fi at the Moke Lake Paddock which encourages unplugged weddings.
Can we drive to the lodge ourselves?
In suitable weather this is possible for guests who have the right vehicle and can follow us out to the lodge. But not available for large groups as the road is very tricky to drive and includes 4 river crossings.
