The Salon

Evenings at the card table

Every night from five, the salon lights low and the green felt comes out. Our dealer-host runs sociable table evenings — learn a game, join a backgammon ladder, or simply take a velvet chair by the fire with a Central Otago pinot.

  • Guests only, 18+, smart-casual after 19:00
  • Social play only — no stakes, no wagering, nothing online
  • Friday backgammon ladder and Sunday long-game night

The Dining Room

South Island on a plate

Breakfast is lake-view and unhurried; dinner is a short seasonal menu — Fiordland venison, Aoraki salmon, vegetables from our own beds. The wine cellar leans hard into Central Otago, and the sommelier pours generously by the glass.
