Culinary excellence is a cornerstone of the Otahuna experience. A hands-on cooking lesson with Executive Chef Jimmy McIntyre provides an enjoyable overview of the philosophies behind the Lodge’s celebrated food and wine programme as profiled in
Bon Appetit,
Conde Nast Traveller, and
The Financial Times.
Classes are typically reserved only for resident guests of the Lodge. They provide an introduction to planning menus and offer a special chance to learn first-hand cooking techniques in our kitchens before tasting the delicious results for yourselves. Classes are available in one-hour or three-hour formats.
Occassionally, Otahuna offers cooking classes to guests not staying at the property. To see if there are any forthcoming classes scheduled, please review our current
Calendar of Events.
