Guest Lunches

Afternoon Treat

Picnic lunch. Delicious summer cheese board with home made crackers and fresh fruit and nuts.

Enjoy a relaxed lunch, with options to suit your day. Choose a gourmet picnic lunch to enjoy amidst the beautiful Waikato countryside, a convenient hiker’s lunch for a day exploring the outdoors, or enjoy something tasty from our à la carte menu. If you are travelling with a group, there are plenty of grazing options to share as well.

For those looking for something a little more indulgent, we invite you to speak with our chef to discuss a bespoke lunch experience.

Local’s Lunch

For those lucky enough to live within an hour’s drive of Te Karaka Lodge, we invite you to escape the everyday and enjoy a leisurely lunch surrounded by the beautiful Waikato countryside.

Whether you want to just spend the afternoon with friends, or are celebrating a special occasion, lunch at the Lodge can be tailored to suit the occasion.

Those that are travelling from the city may wish to book in for a Farm Tour after lunch, and make it a longer afternoon experience.

Our approach to food is guided by the seasons, with fresh produce from our onsite greenhouse and a commitment to sourcing locally and sustainably wherever possible.

Advance bookings are essential.
