FOOD & WINE

Chef in the Wild

We consider the whole 3,000 acre estate to be our 'dining room'. Sometimes food just tastes best when cooked and served in the environment it came from. 

Take a few hours out for a destination picnic like no other. Hop into one of our Land Rovers and let the guide take you to some of their favourite spots on the estate. He has prepared a sumptuous private ‘picnic’ in the ‘wilds’ of Wharekauhau. Enjoy some dishes cooked right there and then. Explore the terrain around our 'camp' and relax with a beverage while the chef works his magic creating a dining memory that will last a lifetime!

As you savor each bite amidst the rugged beauty of the countryside, the flavors will be enhanced by the fresh air and stunning vistas around you. It’s more than a meal; it’s an immersion into nature’s embrace, where every ingredient and every moment is infused with the essence of the land.
