Here’s Your 2023 Father’s Day Gift Guide
Gentlemen, it’s time to show your dads the appreciation they so rightly deserve for putting up with us during our more difficult years, and always being around to lend a hand with a trailer in our adult years. We’ve hand picked the finest fashion, whisky, and fragrances to make this year his best Father’s Day yet.
Experience at Wharekauhau Country Estate.
Dad will be greeted with a welcome beverage of his choice before sitting down to an indulgent three-course set Father’s Day lunch. Curated by Wharekauhau’s own award-winning chefs using seasonal produce harvested from the farm, garden and wider estate, this lunch is a true taste of Aotearoa.
For those father figures who want a little extra adventure, book a spin on Wharekauhau’s brand new ATV quad bikes. An epic way to get his adrenaline pumping, speed through rivers and mud, explore the estate’s 3,000-acre farmland, race along the iconic black sand beach and even feed the resident eels with an expert guide.
Book from $155 per person for lunch (with wine matches also available) or for the ATV quad bike experience, The Adventurers Day Out package will see Dad treated to a farmhouse morning tea before whipping around the rugged estate on his own bike before tucking into an indulgent chef’s lunch for $495 per person.
