Tongariro Lodge
Some of the world’s most famous blokes (Robert Mitchum, Liam Neeson, Larry Hagman, Jimmy Carter, Timothy Dalton) have come to this luxury riverside fishing lodge, set in 9 hectares of parkland, to relax in wood-panelled anonymity. Not surprisingly, the menu’s orientated around man-sized slabs of meat but the real squeals of delight come when a lucky lodger is presented with their day’s catch, smoked and served to perfection.

Oreti
It’s hard to imagine a more romantic spot to while away a balmy summer’s evening than looking over the lake from Oreti’s terrace. It’s an added bonus that the food matches up – the modern NZ menu doesn’t disappoint. As you pick your way through a heavily laden antipasti lunch platter you might have to remind yourself that you’re not actually on the Mediterranean.
