This fantastic retreat in the Mackenzie Region is set in a forest wilderness, beside the turquoise blue waters of Lake Pukaki and right on the doorstep of Aoraki Mount Cook National Park. The Retreat’s cuisine is firmly rooted in 5 key principles: know the provenance of the food they serve and use fresh, local, seasonal produce that is cooked from scratch.

Mt Cook Lakeside Retreat Two years ago, the Retreat decided build on their growing reputation for food excellence with guests, to establish culinary leadership within the Mackenzie. They established The Moraine Lodge Supper Club where people who were not staying there could come and enjoy new beautifully crafted food experiences. Two years on and the monthly Supper Club events are sought after events that attract foodies, including local chefs, from around NZ. The Retreat has a large vegetable garden and, particularly in summer, the tastes of nature are imbued into the dishes they serve. From these underpinnings, their chefs have a blank slate to engage their creativity and experience to create visual and taste sensations. They tell the story of the dishes they serve engaging their guests in a food journey that is memorable and authentic. Comments are closed.
