Kinloch Wilderness Retreat

A picturesque drive from Queenstown, Kinloch Wilderness Retreat offers an ideal escape for those seeking the solace of wilderness coupled with culinary delight.

Picture a rustic haven where the beauty of the great outdoors meets the cosiness of homestyle cooking. This is where Kinloch Wilderness Retreat stands out, a tranquil retreat that encourages you to enjoy the simple pleasures of hearty meals and breathtaking views. The lodge's dining room, glowing with natural light, is a cosy space with wooden beams and panoramic windows showcasing the lush New Zealand landscape.

The lunch menu celebrates local flavours and heartwarming dishes. The chicken burger isn’t just any burger, the sumptuous, organic Bostocks fried chicken towers with aioli, crisp bacon, and fresh produce on a garlic-toasted bun paired with a generous side of fries. For beef lovers, the homemade beef patty burger with melty cheese and tangy gherkins fills more than just your hunger—it’s a tribute to the classic Kiwi burger done just right.

Vegetarians and health-conscious guests will enjoy the Mediterranean vegan Buddha bowl, a colourful blend of quinoa, ratatouille, and garden vegetables brought together by the creamy touch of hummus. For those dining in groups, the Kinloch platter is a top pick—a luxurious assortment that features the best from land and sea with smoked Stewart Island salmon, organic shredded chicken, and more, all ideal for sharing.

As your day at the retreat tails off, let Kinloch wrap you in its peaceful aura. Cherish the moments, the meals, and the memories to come within these walls, where the wilderness isn’t just a view, it’s part of the experience. Head over to this concealed treasure for affordable luxury, it’s more than dining; it’s a retreat for the senses.
