Dine
Dining is always a highlight for a stay at Solitaire Lodge.
Our Chefs enjoy the challenges of creating daily changing menus that reflect the seasonal and fresh expectations of today’s contemporary food palate, with a special New Zealand taste experience. Our cellar includes an extensive collection of fine New Zealand wines.
Solitaire Lodge’s Full Board Tariff includes daily: complimentary mini bar (alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages & snacks). Pre-dinner drinks & canapés, five course evening meal (wine matches extra), full country breakfast and light lunch.
Dietary/food preference requirements are a regular factor that we have wide experience catering for. Early communication is helpful to allow our chefs to organize supplies accordingly.
Pre-dinner Drinks & Canapes
Pre-dinner drinks and canapés are served from 7pm daily and include a showcase of the best regional varieties of New Zealand wine.
5-Course Evening Dinner
The evening five course meal includes starter, entrée, sorbet, choice of 2 mains and dessert. Engage in lively conversation with fellow guests in the lodge’s dining room, or choose an intimate dinner for two in your suite.

Full Country Breakfast
An extensive cooked breakfast is served in our restaurant from 7.30am, which includes seasonal fruit platters, a variety of fresh juices, freshly baked croissants and breads. Cereal options include the lodge’s signature homemade muesli. Our à la carte cooked options include carefully selected organic and locally supplied produce.
Light Lunch
Lunches are light to accommodate the need for some sustenance without detracting from an active day and the rewards of the evening meal. Lunch can be enjoyed from our deck with dramatic views over the lake to Mount Tarawera, – a setting that is hard to compare. Picnic options are also available on request.
