"Food drinks: We reserved an outdoor table because we have our little chihuahua with us and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The food here is absolutely the best you can get anywhere in New Zealand. A small but perfectly designed menu. The gin selection is wonderful and served In beautiful glasses with a side of tonic. There are some delicious local gins on the menu. We had the venison one night, snapper the next and the risotto. Every dish is thoughtful, delicious and beautifully presented. The deserts the same. Ethan Zheng was the manager on our visits this year, he is an absolute asset to this lodge. He is such a wonderful host. Wherever he goes next will truly benefit from his presence. Thank you Alexis and Peter Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Luxury, Romantic"

"Excellent food, great service. The buttered chicken was pretty good, but would probably try the ribs next time. Good feedback on the garlic prawns as a main. Also the fish of the day was good. Nice selection of desserts and some good beer options."

"The lasagna has been amazing, and it is not easy to find it so well done (been in Italy a few times). I’ll come back tomorrow to try the pizza! Special thanks to the staff that were so nice and helpful"

"Roots Bar is an absolute gem of a burger bar that offers a unique and quirky dining experience. The modern take on a retro vibe is executed perfectly, with interesting independent style pop artists like Martha The Muffins providing the perfect backdrop for a meal. But the real star of the show here is the food. The burgers are made with an impressive range of flavors and a combination of ingredients that you wouldn't normally expect to find together. Yet somehow, these seemingly mismatched flavors and ingredients come together in a truly delicious and unforgettable way. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or want to try something a little more adventurous, Roots Bar has got you covered. Every burger on the menu is packed with flavor and will leave your taste buds dancing with joy. Overall, Roots Bar is a must-visit for anyone in Tākaka looking for a great burger and a fun, quirky dining experience. From the friendly and attentive staff to the delicious and inventive food, everything about this place is top-notch. So don't hesitate – head to Roots Bar today and experience the magic for yourself!"
