Dining

Look forward each day to a delicious three-course Table d'hôte dinner menu along with a great selection of quality New Zealand wines from our extensive wine list.

Our Chef creates mouth-watering dishes from the best fresh local produce... including the finest meat and smallgoods from an outstanding local butcher.

Being so close to the Port of Nelson means fresh local seafood also features on the Maruia River Lodge menu – like delectable Nelson scallops and deep sea fish.

Our dining room has a restaurant feel, with individual tables.  Dress code is relaxed.

Continental and cooked breakfast and the three-course dinner is included in the tariff.
