Enjoy a wonderful starter of prawns, mussels, breads and dips accompanied by a selection of red and white wines and a choice of NZ or imported beers from our fully licensed bar
On reaching Haruru Falls which showcases a breathtaking waterfall in the shape of a horseshoe there are plenty of photo opportunities to be had before dinner is served. As the sun goes down dine on a scrumptious meal choosing from BBQ T-Bone Steak, Steamed New Zealand fish or Rack of Lamb (vegetarian meal offered on pre order) accompanied by locally grown gourmet potatoes, kumara and freshly prepared salads. ….. Yum!!
