We arrived in mid afternoon and order 3 light meals: Salmon 5 ways, Salmon chowder and winter salad. The chowder was too salty for our liking, but the flavour was there. Salmon 5 ways, portion wise, a bit skimpy. The winter salad turned out to be a pleasant surprise for us. Fresh ingredients and interesting combination, I've never had asparagus so fresh like so, paired with pear slices and other seasonal veggies, it was heaven. We didn't try fishing but saw other visitors enjoying their time! It's quite a decent place for people of all ages to visit.
Excellent set up. Well worth popping in. Very family friendly with interesting games, fishing & walks. Great menu featuring salmon of course. Beautifully landscaped. Million dollar scenery!!
Great place to stop by and catch your own salmon! After that, they prepare it to your liking, amazing experience from lake to plate. Staff there were friendly and keen to help you. Food at the bar was also very good and fast. Highly recommend if you enjoy fishing and having the freshest salmon. Note that you have to buy whatever fish you catch; you can’t catch and release so be prepared to be eating a lot of salmon!
Went on a clear, sunny day and there was a large family gathering that had reserved most of the restaurant, but still plenty of space for the rest of us. Beautiful outdoor restaurant and great concept to catch your own meal! I had a fun experience catching my own lunch! I opted to have half my salmon hot smoked and half sashimi'd. The hot smoke only takes about 8 minutes and isn't overdone. Salmon have just enough fight to make you feel like you've earned your meal. Also, the fishing crew came around the lake to give tips to anglers, which I thought was a nice touch to help people out. Parking: Parking lot is gravel
Loved this idea of sustainable fishing ! Literally hook to plate ! Staff are super friendly with assisting you with quick fishing tips and fishing lessons are available if needed. Great for family outing, where everyone can get involved, both young and old! What’s better is you get to eat what you catch and can have if prepared to your liking - filleted salmon for home is also an option! Definitely a must when in Wanaka! You won’t be sorry!
Amazing spot, so much to do, even if not fishing. Staff really went above and beyond, helping unfortunate fishers change their setup so that noone went empty handed. Bar staff were incredibly welcoming too. Food was great. If you want to gorge on Salmon, there's no better way to do it. Kid-friendliness: Kids played for hours in the sandpit with Tonkas and other toys. Food and drinks available to buy for them while awaiting fish. Mini-golf looked good but we were too busy doing other things. Only natural concern is that kids who aren't swimming yet, will need to be watched as there are bodies of water all around.
We arrived nice and early, nabbed an awesome table and the kids loved the beanbags. Staff were so smiley and friendly. Wine was delicious. Anchovies were a bit too salty and the hot chips weren’t the best. But such a great atmosphere. The kids caught a fish each and there was a young guy that worked there called Tyler, he was so helpful and knowledgeable and friendly and make the experience even more wonderful. We took fish home as sashimi, it was delicious and another whole and cooked it for dinner. It was such a great activity for the family and made for a delicious meal. Would recommend to anyone. Maybe just trim back a little on the salt on the meals? Either way, next time we visit, we will be sure to be back!
I don't know what bad to say when this place was close to perfection. Food was good, we had the pancetta pizza and the Camembert as well - love at first bite. And the Hook beer, wow... Like WOW! The environment was so nice and laid back. Everyone were so nice - 90% of them at least patron wise the staff were all ready to serve and very extremely helpful! And we also took the fishing activity and got sole salmons - 2.5 + 1.6 + 1 = 6.1kgs of salmon. We made them into smoked, sushi and filleted. All were so so good. It's the best that we have had tried. Defo a place to go. For the fun of it and more. If this makes sense - go earlier. Buy beer. Catch the salmon. Get them cooked or sushi style and eat on the spot. Buy chips, buy more beer. Sit down and just chat your days away. Kid-friendliness: Alot of activities for kids
Great activity for everyone. We opted for fishing option which was $10 per rod at the time we went. Then you pay for the fish based on the weight per kg. Although it took us a while a bit over an hour - some groups were quicker the excitement in our group was unreal. They then had the option to fillet & clean and take home or they can serve it up for you there about 30 mins wait time. Since we had a good amount of fish we got the hot smoked and sashimi options. Recommend this for everyone who wants to try a different activity.
Arrived around 215pm. It wasn’t crowded, we caught a 1.6kg salmon within 5 minutes. The food was prepared within 30 minutes. Absolutely Delicious!! Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The only catch pun intended was that you had the kill the salmon yourself which we as city dwellers weren’t prepared for. Salmon sashimi was slightly tough, and the entire experience cost us about $90 NZD. Very expensive in my opinion, would recommend but probably wouldn’t come back again.
