We are dedicated to your peace and comfort, with hospitality in a healthful setting.
We are very particular about quality and provenance. Our fresh baking, like all our luxurious food, minimises fats, refined sugar, and high-cholesterol ingredients. Artificial flavouring or colouring and preservatives are not used. Our preference is organic and free-range.
Your breakfast selection (when booked) includes warm, homemade bread fresh from the oven, Homestead organic preserves, free-range eggs, and light, golden croissants baked daily. Our juice is freshly-squeezed in season. With sufficient notice we do our best to accommodate preferences and diagnosed allergies.
Dinner at the Homestead is by prior arrangement for groups of four to six, at a fixed price of $215 per person including tasting glasses of matched wine. Otherwise guests may order a Riverside Platter (a full day’s notice usually required) with local gourmet cheeses, Homestead pickles and bread or crackers and other seasonal delights – best enjoyed at the table by the river with a glass of local wine from our blackboard list.
Breakfast may be ordered to enhance our room-only special rates; $32 per person (minimum two guests) delivered to your balcony or on the heated Horizon Lounge covered balcony.
Our fine country cuisine has been awarded four stars by the most particular of lifestyle magazines, and may feature freshly shucked oysters from the bay, fresh fish, prime local meat and freshest ingredients from our own organic gardens. Dishes are prepared attentively in a flavoursome, modern style by cuisine writer, the Foodwriter’s Guild award-winning chef/proprietor Michael Hooper.
Our own pure rainwater is available free-of-charge at any time and the Italian espresso is seldom silent, should you tire of your personal Nespresso selection. At day’s end, we offer a range of liqueurs or single malts, a glass of top New Zealand wine, or French champagne.
Fabulous local restaurants are just 10 minutes’ drive away. Our leather-appointed bespoke transfer is available by arrangement. Regular passenger ferries open other options across the bay.
