And just like that… the dust is settling, the toolkit is being slowly packed away, and the magic is starting to shine through.

In just over 3.5 weeks, we’ve taken the Aston Norwood Gatsby Room and given it a whole new life transforming it into The Duke Bar & Restaurant.

There’s been plenty of hard work, many late nights, lots of laughs, and probably more cups of coffee than we’d like to admit… but watching it all come together has been pretty special. 🥂

Now the tables ready to be dressed, the finishing touches are getting into place, and we’re almost ready to throw open the doors for our very first function this Sunday!

We’ve poured a whole lot of love into this little place, and we can’t wait to fill it with good food, great company, laughter, celebrations and plenty of unforgettable memories.

Our Brac and Bow ethos still stands strong. A place for people to come together to enjoy good food and local service.

Watch this space for opening hours, special events and our dining restaurant menu….

The Wairarapa is waiting to be explored from the world-renowned vineyards of Martinborough and the heritage streets of Greytown, to the rugged beauty of Cape Palliser, the Remutaka Rail Trail, Lake Wairarapa, and the many hidden corners that make this region so special.

Whether you’re staying for a weekend escape, discovering the w**e country, enjoying a countryside adventure, or simply looking for a place to slow down and reconnect, The Royal Hotel remains your home away from home in the Wairarapa, where you can reset your compass.
