Dining is simple: outdoors, outdoors, outdoors! With the sun creating a dancing dapple of light through the ancient blue gum tree and an abundance of lavender, nodding their heads in gratitude to the final rays of the sun, this brings ‘dining on the deck’ to a new level of tranquillity and peace. And if the weather is inclement, the fully enclosed see-through blinds mean you can still dine out on the deck with overhead heaters for that extra touch of warmth.

For the full outdoor cooking and dining experience, enjoy canapés and a G&T whilst sinking into the luxury Coast bean bags and if it isn’t too much effort, light up the family-sized Webber gas BBQ and eat and drink wine gathered from your days’ adventures – this is, after all, food and wine Matakana!
