You don't have to travel far for a very good glass of wine. 🍷

When you're staying in one of New Zealand's beautiful wine-growing regions, it seems only right to pour something local.

At Ratanui, our wine list includes a selection from around Nelson and Tasman - from crisp Kahurangi Estate Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris, to Seifried Estate Chardonnay, Blackenbrook Pinot Blanc and Tohu Whenua Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Upper Moutere.

Even better when it's enjoyed after a day exploring Golden Bay, with dinner ahead and nowhere to drive afterwards.

Pull up a chair, ask us what's pouring and discover a little more of our region - one glass at a time.

Our restaurant reopens 1 October, 2026 , book your table today - https://ratanuilodge.com/menu

Summer will get here soon enough.
So come when spring is settling into Golden Bay.

Enjoy Pōhara Beach, days exploring, and leisurely breakfasts and evenings when dinner and a drink are only steps from your room. And if you're thinking October or November, our current spring offers make now a particularly good time to put that trip in the diary:

🌼 Spring over the Hill: save 15% on selected dates between 1 October and 30 November, plus receive a $25 food or beverage credit per room.
🌼 Stay Two Nights and Save: unwind completely when you stay 2 nights or more this Spring - and save 20%. Subject to select dates and availability.

Get over the hill before everyone else does - book your spring escape today!

Just two more weeks before we open for the season, who is joining us this spring?

There’s a particularly lovely window in Golden Bay when spring has arrived, the days are getting longer and summer still feels comfortably far away.

Pōhara Beach, drinks and nibble by the pool, and a day exploring followed by absolutely no need to rush anywhere - bliss!

October and November are calling - perhaps the best time to come to Golden Bay is before everyone else has the same idea.

Your next good business idea might need a change of scenery.

Boardroom walls have their limitations - we are proud to offer something a little different for planning days, small meetings and corporate retreats.

Our Tarakohe Room can become a meeting or breakout space, while the dining room, bar and sunny verandah give everyone somewhere to reconnect when the laptops close.

And yes, taking over all ten rooms is an option too...

There is considerably more to Golden Bay than can comfortably fit into one day.

From Pōhara, you're beautifully placed for days spent exploring the northern end of Abel Tasman National Park and all those Golden Bay favourites

Then it's back to Ratanui.

Hot tub.
Drink.
Dinner.

That's our preferred order, anyway.

Reopening 1 October 2026, we can't wait to see you soon!
