NEST

We chose Nest Kitchen + Bar to celebrate our elopement, and it could not have been a more perfect choice. We enjoyed the degustation menu, and every course was a wonderful surprise. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and full of unique flavours that made the whole experience feel special and memorable. What truly made the evening exceptional was our waitress, Florence. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to interact with. Her friendly personality and outstanding service helped create such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, making our celebration even more meaningful. Thank you to Florence and the entire team for giving us such a memorable night. We will always remember this dinner as a special part of our elopement in Queenstown and would highly recommend Nest to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. Some spoilers of what the food experience is about:

The wife and I chose to stay at the Kamana Lakehouse during our wedding anniversary getaway to NZ. The hotel is situated as the name suggests, lakeside with spectacular views of the lake, Queenstown and the majestic mountain ranges. I consider it to be a luxury hotel however not over the top with great rooms, bar, dining areas, excellent amenities and most importantly, great welcoming helpful staff. We had a fantastic 3 nights stay at Kamana and enjoyed breakfast at their in house restaurant and bar called 'Nest' with all the different dishes we ordered and had being absolutely delicious with top notch service by the staff. We plan to return soon on our next holiday in NZ. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely dining experience at Nest. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the whole place feels thoughtfully put together. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff and waiters were all attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the meal. A special thank you to Oliver, who took great care of us. He was attentive, personable, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with great service and a comfortable setting. Would definitely return.

I’d always wanted to try this restaurant, so I brought my family while we were travelling around the South Island. Every dish was incredible, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The views are also amazing. Highly recommend it if you’re in Queenstown.

We had Breakfast at Nest. Food was nice and delicious. Team was lovely, caring and attentive. Service was exceptional especially Ms. Florence. My son has multiple food allergies. She listened carefully and liaised with chef and made a dish which my son loves it. Thank you very much team.
