New Zealand cuisine and award winning wine at its best.

Ridge Country Retreat specialises in the best fresh New Zealand foods, with a lean towards organic-based.

The menus are designed to reflect the personal tastes of our guests and our Executive Chef is happy to work with special dietary requirements as well.

New Zealand is highly regarded internationally for its clean image and fresh food. Ridge Country Retreat is ideally situated in the Bay of Plenty, long having been regarded as the 'fruit bowl' of the country.

With our close proximity to the coast - just minutes away - which ensures access to fresh-today seafood, we also pride ourselves on our selective choices when it comes to the best ingredients whether it be lamb, beef, venison, or the locally grown fruit and vegetables.
