Bookings are a must for meals, or maybe you would like to visit for a wander around the gardens, see the fantastic castle that has just been built, or check out the shops full of lovely treasures. Even an awesome playground to keep the kids entertained. A must visit. And of course the magnificent Waitaki River, the snow covered mountains as its backdrop.
