EXPERIENCE<br />
Kamana Lakehouse<br />
How about a last-minute cheeky getaway before you have<br />
to start putting together the dreaded school lunches and<br />
donning your work clothes? Kamana Lakehouse (139 Fernhill<br />
Road, Fernhill) boasts the “highest altitude accommodation”<br />
in Queenstown, and with views of The Remarkables and<br />
Lake Wakatipu, it will surely soothe your soul. Indulge in<br />
modern takes on Mediterranean classics at the Nest Kitchen<br />
+ Bar, which apparently is “seductively lit” – so it might pay<br />
to leave the kids at home for this one.<br />
In Canterbury, the Victorian beauty of Otahuna Lodge (224<br />
Rhodes Road, Tai Tapu) beckons you. It may be turning<br />
125 years old, but it still looks as magnificent as the day it<br />
was born. With luxury accommodation, fine gardens and<br />
sophisticated cuisine, the lodge knows how to mix the best<br />
of the old world and the new. The Dining Room restaurant<br />
places an emphasis on fresh Otahuna estate-grown offerings<br />
incorporated into a five-course degustation menu.<br />
TASTE<br />
Fred Fred<br />
Naturopath and mum Skye Macfarlane wanted to create<br />
the most nutrient-dense baby food for her son Fred. So, she<br />
rolled up her sleeves, put her expertise to work and hey<br />
presto, Fred Fred was born. Skye and Fred’s range comes as<br />
individually frozen portions in a resealable bag and is made in<br />
Dunedin. It is 100 per cent organic, with no added sugar, and<br />
it is naturopathically formulated. It doesn’t get much better<br />
than that.<br />
What do you get when you combine Otago elderberries<br />
with fresh ginger root, manuka leaves and flowers? Wild<br />
Dispensary’s newest product Elderberry Switchel. Did I hear<br />
someone say they are feeling a bit dusty after New Year’s<br />
Eve? Well, this switchel (often referred to as one of the<br />
original electrolyte tonics) is an uplifting energy tonic, slightly<br />
sour with a hint of sweet. It’s based on a 17th-century recipe<br />
drunk by haymakers as a replenishing tonic after a hard day in<br />
the field – but we’re sure it will work just as well after a big<br />
night out. It’s also good for digestion and gut health.
