It’s one of the most iconic eateries in all of Queenstown, located in a Victorian bathhouse built in 1911 with just 8-tables offering a nightly 10-course digestion menu. The iconic octagon-shaped building is located on the edge of town in a grassy park and lake-bed walking distance to hotels like The Spire and Eichardt’s. A casual decor of wooden table and bistro chairs takes on a classier vibe once crystal glassware and white tablecloths are in place for its nightly dinner service following the more casual lunchtime scene.<br />
The Food

By night, the space goes upscale with a 4-course and 10-course digestion or ala carte menu that include hearty cuts of local meats and game, exotic seafood brought in from local ports and thorough wine list of local Central Otago wines.
Last Word
An outdoor terrace offers lakefront dining with a gourmet menu of Otago specialties and lengthy wine list.
