Overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, Sherwood is the quintessence of a country retreat. The kitchen deploys a ‘garden-to-table’ ethos and rolls out a hyper-seasonal menu – 90% of the ingredients are either picked from its own organic garden or foraged in Central Otago. Wood-fired flatbread with different toppings is loaded in smoky depth; sustainable seafood like southern market fish crudo is simply divine. Plant-based options abound.
