Food and Wine

The mountains of Arthur's Pass National Park provide a magnificent  backdrop to the superb food and wine we offer in our Mt Rolleston restaurant. We offer a "table of the house" menu for our evening meal and  this changes every night. Our menu offers 2 choices and a vegetarian option is also available.
