Overlooking Lake Te Anau from within the Kingsgate Hotel, this lakefront dining room centres on hearty breakfasts, evening meals, and a roaring blue stone fireplace. While originally known as Jimmy Cook's Kiwi Kitchen, the dining room has returned to its roots under the Bluestone name, serving regional comfort food crafted from local ingredients in a setting suited to travelling families and locals dropping in after work.
Breakfast runs daily from 7:00 am until 9:30 am on weekdays and 10:00 am on weekends, with dinner service commencing each evening at 5:00 pm. You will find it right on Lakefront Drive in Te Anau, making it an easy, scenic stop to warm up by the fire after exploring Fiordland.
