Tapas menu. Amazing food that can be paired with wine. We recommend the Just Feed Me menu which is the chef's specials for the night. No decision making required! They'll cater to dietary requirements. They don't take bookings but we've never had to wait long to be seated.

Parks & Nature
We highly recommend the hike up to the Rob Roy Glacier, accessed from the Mount Aspiring National Park. There are view points along the way as you journey to the top of the trail head to the view of the hanging glacier, where you'll also likely be visited by Kea (native parrot). The walk is through stunning native Beech forest and mostly groomed.
The drive up the valley crosses several fords - not all vehicle rental companies allow travel on this specific road. Please check your agreements first. Check road conditions prior to travel.

Everything Else
Cool Mountain Biking terrain close to Wanaka and Albert Town. Wicked short trails that take a few minutes to get down and a few more minutes to get back up. A single track network that's divided among black - blue and green ability.

A super cool 11km MTB loop track. It's home to the Dean's Bank 10 HR MTB event in October. It features undulating open and tree-scape terrain, lots of hairpin bends and some fun pump terrain. Great for running too.
