The fine cuisine is rather famous at this luxury lodge, while the beautiful garden setting at Fantail Lodge & Garden Villas enhances the sublime experience.

Fantail Lodge blends nature’s tranquillity with an inspiration for true class. For over a year now, the restaurant ‘The Chapeau’ has opened its doors to dinner bookings for casual diners not staying at the lodge.

The lodge’s restaurant now focuses purely on local ingredients.
Therefore menus are adjusted daily, based on available ingredients, and always with a range of dishes to choose from.
Most produce is estate grown while the renowned Morton Estate winery, along with other local wine producers provide diners with a variety of award winning wines.

Fantail Lodge & Garden Villas caters for houseguests, large or small private dinner functions, special occasions and celebrations.

Located between Katikati and Tauranga in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, Fantail Lodge is widely thought to be one of the finest lodges in NZ. It’s set amongst 40 acres of gardens, rocky creeks and subtropical plantations.

If you’re planning on staying as well as dining, spacious suites are beautifully appointed with stunning views into a garden full of native plantings.
