The Perfect Dinner
The best kept secret of New Zealand’s South
Stunning sunsets over untouched nature, SW views towards Aurora Australis, serene tranquility and utmost comfort – all offered at the southern edge of civilisation. Options include Lodging deluxe or Bed & Breakfast.
For our guests every supper is a Perfect Dinner. Celebrated at the dining table in the spacious lounge, enjoy gourmet meals and fine wines, featuring fresh local seafoods with home grown vegetables and herbs.
Proposal, honeymoon, anniversary – go romantic! Beautiful food and wine, following a delightful soak in the Hot Tub under the stars; or enjoy the sauna looking out to native forest, finished with an outdoors shower…
The lodge is overlooking Paterson Inlet with unsurpassed panoramic views. An acre of secluded paradise with native forest and prolific birdlife for our guests to enjoy. You can watch the sunrise and sunset from here!
