Blacks Hotel

Nestled in Central Otago's serene landscape, Blacks Hotel brings something extra to New Zealand's natural playground. Inspired by the Art Deco era, this establishment is a time capsule into another world.

Boasting a strong British essence, you might mistake yourself walking into an Agatha Christie novel. A charming ode to 1920s Britain, this eatery also places its immaculate gardens at the forefront of this dining experience. Find yourself a window seat and let your gaze roll over the surrounding green and majestic hills. A world in itself, Blacks Hotel is one for the escapists, nature lovers and all your four-legged friends.

For an unforgettable supper, only the freshest local produce will do. That's why their menu is small and considered. Taking inspiration from all over the world, you'll find traditional haggis served with a whisky marmalade and a vibrant squid salad lining the starters menu.

The mains take their culinary cues from the surrounding landscape. Twice-cooked pork belly is served with a creamy apple slaw whilst New Zealand lamb comes with an array of seasonal veggies and an irresistible drizzle of tahini. And that's before we get to the Thai chicken curry that bursts with a citrusy undercurrent and plenty of creamy coconuts. An authentic taste of Central Otago, Blacks Hotel has it all.
