Catering and wine
We are pleased to be able to offer you in-house private chef catering at any of our Villas.
Chef in-house Menu
Enjoy the ultimate dining experience in your private accommodation with a menu tailored just for you and prepared by our personal Chef. Brad has worked as a chef/caterer for the last 20 years in New Zealand, where a love of seasonal locally sourced food has led to his passion to create a memorable dining experience for his guests.
Preprepared Dinner Menu
Please note the pre prepared dinner option is now available with both the Catered Winter Getaway, the Romantic Summer Escape and the Lazy weekend Package.
Brad’s delight is to share his skills with you, and he will look forward to creating a dining experience you won’t forget.
Please enquire about larger groups.
All catering costs exclude wine, please refer to the information on Foxes Island Wines if you wish to pre-purchase New Zealand top-end wines.
Meals are by prior booking only.
Foxes Island Wines
If you enjoy New Zealand wine, as an additional service we would like to assist you in organising your wine purchase prior to your arrival at Ara Roa.
Ara Roa recommends Foxes Island Wines.
John Belsham founded Foxes Island in 1992 to focus on exquisitely made, regionally expressive wines; exactly what he had learned to do in France. 24 years on, Belsham’s passion for producing exceptional wines has yet to wane.
Foxes Island Wines are exclusive, exquisite, and limited in production. Genuinely handcrafted and you will not find these wines in the supermarket or wine shops.
We highly recommend all of their wines, the top-line Pinot Noirs are sublime. Also, if you like a dessert wine the Icon Noble Riesling is very special.
We would recommend getting a case of 6 bottles to take with you on your trip. Please click the button below to visit their online shop.
When you “check out” just enter the code as “AraRoa”. Foxes Island will know the order is to be sent to us to store until your arrival.
