Dining
Serving breakfast and lunch for guests and dinner for
guests and visitors by reservation, our kitchen focuses on
preparing fresh and flavorful food, sourced whenever possible from
local purveyors and organic growers with whom we often have a
direct relationship. With this farm gate to plate philosophy in
mind, and in keeping with the environment, our resident chefs
create world class food that remains unpretentious and focused on
the flavors of fresh quality ingredients.
Dinner is 3 courses with multiple choices within each course,
created from seasonal produce. Wine, cocktails and canapés are
complimentary before the meal. Dinner is at private tables in the
lodge, warmed by a well stoked fire and looking out to the deer
paddock and mountains.
Each morning, our cooked and continental breakfast options are a
la carte, with fresh locally baked breads and pastries fresh
coffee, tea and juices.
We can accommodate most dietary concerns, though we can better
provide for your needs with advance notification.
Activities
The waters off the Kaikoura coast are extremely rich in
marine life. So much so, that New Zealand Geographic calls
Kaikoura, “A maritime Serengeti”, “a Sea World without Walls”. The
natural landscape creates an abundance of activities in and around
Kaikoura for guests to explore.
Hapuku Lodge is a great base camp from which to undertake a marine
safari. World famous whale watching, giant albatross encounters,
playful dolphin and seal swimming, sea kayaking, and deep-sea
fishing are available year round.
For those staying off the high seas, options include night sky
tours, Maori cultural tours, scenic flights, winery tours,
horseback riding, biking and great hiking (or tramping as we call
it in NZ).
It is less than a kilometer down our country lane to the acclaimed
ocean surf of Mangamaunu Bay.
And guests can use the Lodge's mountain bikes (and helmets) to
tour the local by-ways.
