The best platters of beautiful food and drinks around. Lots of the wild food is smoked in oak barrels. Beer tasters recommended. The setting is stunning above the Kawarau river as you walk across a swing bridge. There is jet boats from here and a historic Chinese mining village to explore. 30mins drive towards Cromwell through the Kawarau Gorge (stop off at Gibbston Valley on the way) and carry on to Bannockburn for some winery tours.
