Waipoua Lodge Cuisine

As we are located in a remote area with limited off site

 dining options within a 30-40 minute drive, we are always prepared for our guests to dine at the lodge. In fact, the cuisine and dining at Waipoua Lodge has received such wonderful reviews that as well as wanting to visit the ancient kauri trees, it is now one of the reasons people choose to stay with us!

​

Breakfast

Included in the price of your accommodation; breakfast is served between 8:00 am and 9:30 am. Your day starts with fresh plunge coffee or a range of teas (including herbal), orange juice and a scrumptious al a carte breakfast ranging from fresh farm eggs (prepared the way you like them), bacon, sausages, to a pancake stack, toasted muesli with natural yoghurt sweetened with local honey, all served with toast, preserves and a selection of fresh fruit.

 

Dinner

We offer a very comprehensive gourmet menu for such a small lodge and because everything is freshly prepared we can only do this with a little preparation time. We will therefore arrange to email you our a la carte menu and ask you to kindly pre-order your menu choices in advance of your arrival.  If you have any dietary requirements of preferences, please inform us before you arrive so we can ensure the menu on offer during your stay is suited to your preferences.  Due to the Lodge's remote location, last minute changes to the menu may not be possible.

​

Our four-course a la carte dinner menu is $100.00 per person and guests normally dine between 6.00 pm and 7:30 pm.

Servings are reasonably sized and intended for you to enjoy something from each course, but if you would prefer only two or one courses this is not a problem. Your choice of seasonal vegetables or a salad is served with your main course.

To complete your dining experience we offer a selection of beers, wines and spirits.
