Full of the sweet, the savoury and the salty, it’s a mix of all things good. Nibble at the beginning, devour at the end, and savour through all the moments in between as you stop and marvel at the world around.

Best shared with friends or in the presence of the wild, a great bag of scroggin is a staple for a life of exploration. 

Here in Wānaka, we’re never far from an adventure. The mountains, bush, valleys, lakes and rivers that surround us are a constant source of flavour and inspiration. Our food and drink is a reflection of our natural landscape and the changing of the seasons.

For many folks (like us) who spend their time exploring this wonderful area, our best memories are of being huddled into backcountry huts, sharing meals with friends - new and old. These humble places have a unique way of bringing people together.

We decided we needed more of these moments; in the form of a café, an escape, and a space to enjoy the best bits in life.
