Peak House

A charming eatery just minutes away from Havelock North's panoramic Te Mata Peak, Peak House is all about fine food in a jaw-dropping location.

A peaceful haven overlooking endless grassy undulations, it turns out you don't need to hike for hours for that summit sweet spot! This glass-roofed villa is a sun magnet all year round and thanks to its spacious balcony, you can enjoy those rays in their full glory. Tranquil and spacious, this restaurant is infused with those irresistible vacation vibes!

And what vacation is complete without summery, Mediterranean plates? To begin, their lemon roasted chicken breast comes with comforting cubes of pumpkin and asparagus spears, while the braised beef cheek is accentuated with a creamy potato puree and velvety sauce.

Move on to any of their free-range burgers – from organic beef to free-range chicken and local veggies, all you have to do is choose your combo! Add on some mac and cheese or brussel sprouts, that'll certainly be to everyone's taste after they're smothered in garlic butter, and prepare for a romantic crème brûlée to accompany a magnificent sunset. Out of life's many memorable moments, this has to be a peak.
