Kai - Breakfast: (included in room rate)

Indulge yourself with a breakfast hamper of delicious fresh bread, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, & fruit juice delivered to your suite or enjoy alfresco on the wharf overlooking the lagoon. On weekends, a cooked 'Taste of New Zealand' platter to share, is a bonus, with our compliments.

 

Complementary nibbles await you in your room.  Don’t forget to bring a bottle of wine or two.

 

 

Dinner - bring a picnic or use the BBQ if you feel like doing your own thing.

There is a bar across the road  but just a few minutes drive away a whole choice of restaurants awaits.

 

Kaiapoi – there is a wonderful Japanese restaurant our guests rave over, our favourite – a Thai & an Indian amongst others.

 

At The Palms down Marshlands Road, find the Italian restaurant where Mura proposed to Julie – over a thincrust pizza & glass of red wine! Also a good modern N.Z. restaurant – all side by side. Competition means they have to be good!
