Fresh & Local
We embrace sustainability. Organically sourced foods as well as our own produce fresh from our garden are our preference for all our meals.
Breakfast options
Our lodge offers two breakfast options:
• A breakfast basket delivered to your suite (12 hours notice required)
• A gourmet breakfast hamper delivered to your suite (24 hours notice required)
Please note that our homemade breakfasts are not included in your Suite price, leaving you the freedom to create your own breakfast or to order one from us.
All our Suites are fully equipped to enable you to prepare your own breakfast. If one day you wish to escape from our tasty temptations, this means you are more than welcome to do so!
If you would like one of our homemade breakfasts on your first morning, please order online in combination with your Suite and Excursion preferences.

Our Basket contains slices of bread, spreads and jam, juice, cheese spread, milk, cereals, natural yoghurt, fruit and sweet pastry or cookie. Tea and coffee are always on hand.

There are a number of eateries and cafes within walking distance of our Lodge and even more choice in the colourful town of Takaka, a 10 minute drive from Pohara. You are more than welcome to let us know your preference and we will book a table for you.
