Kinloch Manor Offers Near 100% Pesticide-Free Estate Dining for Luxury Lodge Guests

For travelers who value sustainability, seasonality, and sublime taste, Kinloch Manor & Villas offers an immersive culinary experience unlike any other. Located on the shores of Lake Taupō, this award-winning luxury lodge now proudly features near 100% pesticide-free and organic dining, continuing its commitment to health-conscious, ethical, and immersive gourmet experiences.

A Commitment to Clean, Organic, and Wild-Sourced Cuisine
Created by the visionary team behind Treetops Lodge & Estate, Kinloch’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the land. Guests enjoy seasonal menus crafted with produce grown in the lodge’s on-site gardens and orchards, plus ingredients foraged or harvested from the owners’ nearby 2,000-hectare private estate.

The result? A true estate-to-plate experience featuring exceptional ingredients—most of which are organically grown or raised without pesticides—and designed to reconnect guests with nature’s rhythms.

From Garden to Gourmet
Guests are invited to stroll through Kinloch’s edible gardens, plucking herbs, vegetables, and fruit they’d like to sample or have featured in that evening’s meal.

Organic produce includes:

• Native and heritage vegetables like tetragonia (NZ spinach), kumara, fresh turmeric, native cress, and even wasabi
• Honey from the estate’s wild Manuka hives, harvested from Treetops’ lodge aviaries
• Indigenous herbs and edible flowers used to enhance both flavor and nutritional value

From Forest and Field to Fine Dining
Sourcing extends beyond the gardens. Kinloch’s chefs utilize a variety of ethically reared or wild game and protein from the estate, including:

• Red, fallow, sika, and wapiti deer
• Water buffalo, lamb, wild pig, and beef
• Rabbit, pheasant, partridge, geese, and duck

And for anglers: freshly caught Rainbow and Brown trout from Lake Taupō or nearby streams can be prepared by Kinloch’s culinary team—adding an exciting, interactive element to the lodge’s gastronomic offerings.

Perfect Pairings
Each meal is thoughtfully matched with New Zealand’s finest wines and notable vintages from around the world, elevating the tasting experience while showcasing the country’s dynamic wine regions.
