Our absolute favourite restaurant in town. It is expensive, so we do not go often , but every time we do go we talk about it all week! Only open for dinner. There are no menus it is chef's choice. Local, organic, exquisite. The portions are light so do not go absolutely starving. Or order the 'i'm still hungry chicken burger' at the end of the meal.

Pricey but worth it. Fine dining with big portions. You will not leave hungry. We recommend the lamb shoulder, duck fat potatoes and fried brussel sprouts. Seriously insane good.

Drive in ~5km and park in the lot. Walk until your heart is content (this trail goes all the way to Queenstown). Starts off in a beautiful valley and after about 40 mins it moves into a forrest. The further you go the harder it gets. Scenic, lovely.

Park at Diamond Lake parking lot off of Mount Aspiring Rd. Hike ~1 km to Diamond Lake take it in for a moment and then carry on up the stairs to Rocky Mountain. Just past the stairs you can choose which way to go on the loop. We recommend going left. so that you come up behind the summit and have the view the whole way down. It is about a 3 hour return and incredible.
