We are based here at Dudley’s Cottage and our neighbours at The Dishery certainly know how to make a good coffee. This is a great spot for a light breakfast or lunch, gold panning and souvenirs made in NZ.
Without a doubt our favourite burgers are made here. We recommend the Jack ‘n’ Yack (secret burger not on the menu) and smashed potatoes.

This is a great spot for a slightly more formal sit-down restaurant option. We recommend having tastings at your table, as it’s a more personalised experience. It pays to book here during the summer season as it can get quite busy.

Probably our favourite family spot for a relaxed lunch. No bookings needed. The wood fired pizza, craft beers and wines go down a treat.
Kinross is the must-visit location for lovers of great Pinot noir, as it is the official Cellar Door for 5 local boutique wineries. Our favourite Pinot noir is here and it’s called Wild Irishman. The Kinross Bistro serves fresh, healthy food using seasonal produce. Enjoy a hearty or light lunch, sharing platters or something from the snack menu.
