Dining at Mahitahi Lodge can be the highlight of your stay. Whether it be one of John's delicious breakfasts or, if you choose, to indulge in Jacqui's fabulous dinners. Breakfast is included in the tariff.
Relax and put your feet up after a busy day without having to travel to the nearest cafés for evening dining in Fox Glacier - please book in advance to ensure your place at the table. Let us know then if you have any special dietary issues or any likes/dislikes. Dinner normally commences at 6.30pm where you meet for pre-dinner drinks and get to know our other guests before joining them at the main table.
The Matai suite does offer a self-catering option if you prefer.
