Chatto Creek Tavern

Serving the best Blue Cod, Whitebait and Rib Eye Steak meals with pride.

With friendly service, Chatto Creek Tavern is an ideal lunch stop on the Rail Trail; lie in the hammocks, talk to the donkeys and enjoy lunch before taking on Tiger Hill.

The bar has an extensive collection of Antique Guns and historic artefacts. The shaded beer garden extends to the Rail Trail and to the smallest operating Post Office in New Zealand. Spend time reading its interesting history and enjoying the old photos; imagine being the Post Mistress in this small tin shed for 42 years without heating or running water. The 18" thick Schist stone allows the tavern to be cool in summer and warm in the winter.
