Everyone is welcome to enjoy lunch at Hapuku, available seven days a week.
Experience a taste of Kaikōura in the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of our lodge dining room, or al fresco where views of the farm meet the mountains.
Expect carefully crafted dishes made from fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced in our kitchen garden or from local producers. Whether you’re celebrating a special moment or simply savouring a quiet afternoon, it’s a dining experience worth lingering over.
Our Ethos
At Hapuku Lodge, food is at the heart of everything we do.
Our chefs create food that nourishes both body and spirit, seasonal, flavourful, and deeply connected to the Kaikōura landscape. Much of what we serve is grown in our own kitchen garden, which is abundant with herbs, vegetables, fruit, and edible flowers. We also partner with local farmers, gardeners and fishermen to source the freshest ingredients available.
An open kitchen, a shared story
Our open kitchen invites conversation. Watch your meal come together, hear the stories behind each dish, and experience a menu that reflects our deep respect for the land and sea.
We believe that dining at Hapuku Lodge will not only delight your palate, but deepen your appreciation for what this remarkable corner of Aotearoa has to offer.
