Cooking Activities – Hapuku Kitchen, Kaikoura, New Zealand

Our team are immersed in the world of luxury travel and are extremely fortunate to dine at many of the world’s best lodges, hotels and restaurants. High expectations are most usually matched by the experience, very occasionally there’s disappointment. And then sometimes, often when least expected, there’s a standout experience when a meal wows, surprises and remains embedded into your memory bank.

In Fiona’s own words, they had a calling to create an experience focused on rediscovering the simple pleasures of sustainably growing, gathering, catching, cooking and sharing quality food with others. Hapuku Kitchen was born and now anyone visiting the region (many of our guests staying at the unique and iconic Hapuku Lodge & Treehouses), can not only enjoy the fruit of Fiona’s extremely talented culinary skills, they can also participate with either half or full day experiences in their cooking school. For foodies this is most definitely an experience to consider including on your journey through New Zealand; you’ll not be disappointed.
