Dinner at Otahuna is more than a memorable meal.
It’s a series of unforgettable moments.
It’s an invitation to a rare world, over a century in the making. Where you’ll discover a seasonal four-course chef’s menu, imagined anew each night. Where the Estate’s vast bounty – its Potager Gardens and Orchards, Mushroom House and Paddocks – is prepared and plated to perfection, while paired with the perfect vintages. Made for our guests, and a fortunate few visitors, to savour all in their own secluded corner.
Dinner for resident guests
Every overnight guest at Otahuna is warmly welcomed to Dinner. The finest of fine dining, privately enjoyed in one of many enclaves. Fireside in the opulent Dining Room, or tucked into the sunken Wine Cellar. Enclosed within the Library, or gazing out across the gardens in The Turret. Because when Otahuna is home for the night, the choice – just as in your own home – is yours alone.
Dinner for outside visitors
Once exclusively the reserve of overnight guests, Otahuna now offers private dining for non-resident patrons. With only a scarce handful of tables ever available, Dinner at Otahuna is Canterbury’s most coveted culinary destination. And while the opportunity may be as rare as it is remarkable, we’re delighted to share it with our local audiences, whenever the occasion arises.
Guests joining us for Dinner are welcome to arrive from 5:30PM to undertake a self-guided tour of our celebrated, historic gardens.
Pre-dinner drinks service starts at 6:30PM. Guests can expect to be seated at their table between 7:15PM and 7:30PM.
