OUR SERVICES
MEALS
Guests have a fully equipped kitchen available. Food can be be purchased in Taumarunui (20 km away), where there is also a range of restaurants. For those without a car and no ability to bring food with them, we can provide a range of ingredients for guests to cook with in the kitchen, or we can organise a cold platter to be ready on your arrival. Please email Jennifer and Richard several days before you arrive, stating any dietary restrictions and the meals that you need - price will depend on requested food.
