Nothing beats that first sip of an iced cold beer, particularly if you're sitting overlooking the Shotover River. The craft beers on tap are so delicious; beer aficionadas rejoice!

Sherwood is far more than just a place to set camp. It's a wellness retreat and luxurious spot for remote working, gigs, creative workshops and events which also has a farm-to-table restaurant. Kick start your day with a yoga wake up call, before relaxing in the sauna, indulging yourself with massage therapy, and heading out for a mountain bike adventure. Knowing you can tuck in to some woodfired flatbreads and small plates for dinner makes it a whole lot better!

Located in a small upstairs kitchen is Kappa. It's low-key, inviting, and exceptionally cosy: whether this is due to it's tiny capacity, or Yoshi & Michiko's incredibly warm welcome we can't be sure. Despite its size, the sushi at this spot is exceptional. So pop on by to collect your take out, or book well in advance to dine inside. 

With speakeasy vibes Little Mez is an ambient, underground cocktail bar with a quirky restaurant upstairs. Over 80 varieties of Mezcal and Tequila line the shelves so get ready for some tasty concoctions with a few nibbles on the side.
