Guest Praise

“Natarsha Bamblett’s Acknowledgement of Country at each of the 3 events at the MAV Technology conference where I was MC, was always fresh, appropriate for the setting and engaged and educated the audience. She made the audience feel like they were really part of the acknowledgement and not just observing. I would highly recommend it”

Lisa McAskill

"I liked the choice of menu - being able to have sharing plates or mains. I had the Lamb it was magnificent."

Helen Laverick

"After leaving Dunedin for some fresh air and decent views, we headed to the Otago Peninsula, and it was so lovely. We popped in for coffee and some breakfast food. Lovely setting and after a very warm welcome we ordered a sausage and egg croissant, it was lush, if a little big, so tasty! Defo recommend"

Andy S

"Had the BBQ Platter for father's day lunch. It was excellent. Service was timely and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable."

Hoani Langsbury

"We were staying at the camp estate for 2 nights and after a meal at Lanarch castle we booked a dinner here. A smallish blackboard men but something for everyone - elephant fish, amazing steak, good pork belly. Generous serves and good value as was the wine and champagne. A few of us shared dessert- affogatos, etc. the manageress was outstanding. Treated us like an old friend. Lively live music by a talented singer and guitarist. Highly recommended."
