Good place inviting staff really friendly. Need some touch up between ordering and waiting we run out of drinks while waiting. But foods good not long wait would like more dessert options. Would recommending for a good meal for your buck. Thanks guys
Just spent a wonderful weekend at the amazing Powderhorn Chateau in Ohakune. Their upstairs restaurant has a new menu which is incredible and a must do if you're in the area. The Powderhorn is a huge log chalet which looks like it was teleported over from Switzerland. The owners, Ben and Antika, are super nice as are their staff on the reception desk, downstaits Powderkeg bar and restaurant and upstairs Matterhorn restaurant. I totally recommend the Powderhorn Chateau as the perfect getaway.
Eye filled steak to die for. Jimmy, the chef, gave me a steak that I haven't eaten anywhere for maybe two years. A true masterpiece of steak selection, preparation, and cooking. 10/10. My nate had Lamb Rump equally as good. Thank you 😊
Service via the bar, excellent, and the choices of beer and wine, great.
Atmosphere, one of one in NZ
Well done team. You excelled
Great place to grab a drink and unwind after a long day on the slopes skiing. The food options are pretty good and the selection of events and drinks available on a regular basis are pretty great. Kinda expensive for a bar but well worth it for the vibe, the atmosphere and the selection of drinks available. Highly recommend going if you have a group, or stay in their rooms if you can afford it. 10/10
So good to unwind by the fire, speak with the staff & enjoy a great meal on a cool day
Awesome place to Chill, eat and be entertained. Great place to get warmed up by a fire and mulled wine .
My husband and I stopped at Powderkeg Restaurant and Bar for a lunch. We ordered Seasoned wedges with cheese, bacon, sour cream and chilli, and Teriyaki free range chicken, slaw and Japanese mayo burger. The food was so delicious. The flavours of the burger were different and amazing. Highly recommend.
Stopped by on the last weekend of the season and the bar was still quite busy, with no table available in the designated dining area. I ended up opting for buying at the bar and picking a place somewhere and even then the options were fairly limited.
Food was alright. I had the fishcakes and the pork belly. Both were tasty in their own right. Just found that the fishcakes were a tad salty. I was expecting a bit more from the S'more dessert but it was just marshmallows melted over chocolate. Think I would have enjoyed it more if the cracker was harder since it was really soft and quite crumbly.
The staff was really friendly and helpful. Even though they were busy they were able to serve desserts after the mains, although there was a bit of a wait. I would probably come back for the food but probably a different dessert.
Great place and even loved the vegan only desert options too. Priced well for a tourist hub. Fantastic location covered in wood and loads of character.
The best place in Ohakune to hang around for drink or dinner after a full day at the mountain. The atmosphere there is very cozy, warm and positive. Love the winter warm design of the whole place. The staff is super polite and helpful, always checking on your food and drink refills. Great selection of beers here, delicious. Even though the burgers here are not the best I ever had (and not a fan of square buns), they were still pretty darn good. Could have even gone for desert, but was too full from enormous amount of fries the bring with the burger. Definitely worth a visit. Will be back here for sure.
Just giving 4 stars because unfortunately they didn't have an item available! But apart from that, exceptional food for the price, and big servings. We ordered the pork ribs and the falafel burger.
Lots of people so it's hard to find a table during busy hours. Would definitely go again!
While the chateau was worth the visit all by itself.. the restaurant was out of the world..
I would go back to Ohakune just for another steak... it was amazing..!!!!
