Dining

At Flowerpot Bay Lodge our aim is to provide a homestyle, fresh, hearty range of Island fare including local meat and seafood and homegrown, organic fruits and vegetables cooked to your liking. As a Homestay Lodge, we operate a set menu dining experience.

All meals are complementary and included in the listed room rate and package holidays.

While we do not encourage excess taking of our marine resources, we do invite you to indulge yourself in our fresh range of local seafood including cod, paua, crayfish and hapuka, better still, we'll help you catch your own. And be warned: once you taste Pitt Island beef and wild mutton, you'll be sold.
