Breakfast Options

​Let your day begin with a cooked or continental breakfast of your choice.

Our breakfasts are home made and healthy – we use locally sourced produce whenever possible as well as fruit and vegetables from our garden.  

Our cooked specialties include fresh fruit compote with crepes, rhubarb and home-made yogurt. We have a range of cereals and our best is Ribbonwood Muesli and date porridge. Free range eggs with bacon and tomato are complimented with our fresh bread baked daily – nut and wholegrain bread can be toasted and is delicious with our home made jams.   

Dining Out

​There are several restaurants and cafes in Franz Josef.
We can organise transport to and from selected restaurants at no extra charge. Our local restaurants feature New Zealand and Asian cuisine including lamb, venison and seafood, fine New Zealand wines and beers.
