Perched above Buckingham Green in the heart of Arrowtown, Swiftsure by Man O’ War brings bold Southern charm to the alpine landscape. This elegant new bistro is the South Island expression of Waiheke’s famed winery, blending rugged sophistication with warm hospitality. Under the direction of Chef Yann Robert (ex-Amisfield), the menu champions seasonal South Island produce — think whitebait fritters, wood-fired lamb shoulder, and a standout wagyu burger. With views across the mountains, sun-drenched terraces and fireside corners make it a perfect spot for après-ski, long lunches or celebratory dinners.
