Came out today for coffee but the lunch menu totally lured us in! Winner gnocchi, full of flavour and beautiful presentation. My husband had the gorgeous mussel dish. Couldn’t fault the beautiful food or service.
A must visit lunch/ dinner spot.
What a fantastic find. This wonderful old (150 years) hotel was a real treasure. The rooms which are all upstairs, have recently been renovated and are spacious, very comfortable and sympathetically appointed to the age of the hotel. Comfy beds! The |downstairs renovations are again, done in keeping with the age of the hotel. Lots of wonderful photos and memorabilia. Dinner was outstanding and by far the best meal we had all eaten in ages, anywhere. We had left the dinner choice to the chef and we were so glad we did. Slow cooked beef cheek, frenched lamb cutlets, served with local asparagus, roasted potatoes with capers, baked pumpkin, smooshed peas and |all the appropriate jus, gremolata, mint sauce etc that just made it perfect. Followed by Italian chocolate dessert and home-made coconut icecream. Perfect, perfect. We had bruch in the morning with an interesting selection of foods, not run of the mill at all. But, if you just wanted toast, then that was no problem. Renovations are continuing to the exterior and it will be brilliant when all completed, soon. Don't go past this place. Alisha is an amazing host and she could not have done more to make our stay so memorable. Even Mt Taranaki stood in her glory for us that evening.
We’ve just had a delicious lunch at the Ōkato with our 10-month old twins. They have two high chairs which made it easy for us to feed the boys some snacks while we were eating. Plenty of room for our double pram too. Staff was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.
Amazing food and service. Comfy and rustic dining experience. Even if just popping in for a bite to eat, the potatoes are amazing and everything is reasonably priced for the off the scale quality. Highly recommend.
We had the most delicious food. The set meal that is offered on a Friday/Saturday night was absolutely amazing. Excellent service, great drinks menu. It’s worth the trip out there New Plymouth!
Country private location place to dine takeaway or stay. Special place to celebrate a event. Enjoyed vintage paintings and mirrors. Professional personalisable service.
