Dining

Though the Lodge kitchen is fully equipped for you to produce your own culinary masterpieces, sometimes it’s nice to enjoy an evening out over a fine meal. Close by Waimarama you will find several restaurants, which we have found consistently create fine meals and provide attentive service. To find out more go to:

          Lakeland House Restaurant at Braxmere
          Tongariro Lodge’s restaurant    
          Hydro Eatery
          Turangi Bridge Bar and Restaurant
          Hare and Copper Restaurant
                                    

For the best coffee and breakfast on the riverside go to Creel Tackle House and Café.

Further afield, in Taupō, there are great meals to be had at any number of eateries listed on Tripadvisor, but a newcomer stands out for fine dining. For a real culinary experience, try Embra located in Kaimanawa Street, Taupō.
