You won't find a better patiserrie in New Zealand. Fresh and decadent and always a long queue snaking out the door, once you try their lemon meringue tart you will understand why.

Sightseeing
This is the iconic peak that our farm is named after. You are looking at it when you sit in the spa and look back at the house. It is a steep, hard 1000 metre climb to the top. Honestly there are better walks around the place, but when you get the top the views make it all worthwhile. Stunning views of the entire Wanaka basin and Tititea/Mt Aspiring.

Lovely view from the top of this iconic Wanaka mountain. Fairly steep climb, but it is also pretty short. Takes about 20 minutes up and the views of Lake Wanaka the upper Clutha and Hawea are magic.

Big one day walk (uphill) for the fit and adventurous. Jaw dropping views, easily eclipses Roys Peak walk in my opinion.
