Located in Rangitata, Drift Inn is a relaxed, friendly family-orientated restaurant and bar where guests can unwind and recharge. With stunning views of the Four Peaks, it offers a cosy indoor space, a kid's play area, and outdoor dining—perfect for soaking in the inviting atmosphere of The Lore of the Rings' scenic South Island home.

No fuss, just good food for in-betweeners—simple, satisfying, and full of flavour. From a generous steak sandwich loaded with egg, bacon and onion rings to a gooey stack of beef nachos with all the trimmings, every bite hits the spot.

Craving pizza? Choose from a variety of delicious toppings and wash it all down with a glass of wine, or a refreshing beer. Why not play a round of pool or darts while you're at it?

Step into the Drift Inn and you’re sure to feel right at home—whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed evening with good company.
