This summer, three of Aotearoa’s most beloved bands hit the road for Ready To Roll, a brand-new touring show celebrating New Zealand music and sun-soaked good times. Featuring the legendary Th’ Dudes, iconic Mockers, and multi-platinum favourites Stellar*, the tour will bring timeless hits and unforgettable live energy to some of the country’s most picturesque summer locations.
Ready To Roll pays homage to the iconic TV music chart show that ran from the 1970s through to the 1990s. As New Zealand’s homegrown version of the Top 40 countdown, Ready To Roll became appointment viewing for generations of music fans, a showcase for both international chart-toppers and breakthrough Kiwi acts. It helped launch and cement countless careers while becoming a cultural touchstone in Aotearoa. Reviving the name for this tour nods to its legacy of celebrating great music and good times, a perfect fit for a summer series featuring three of the country’s most enduring and much-loved groups.

WHAT'S ON AT
THE HUNTING LODGE
Market Days
After such a fantastic response to our Harvest Market Day in May, we’re excited to announce that we’ll be hosting a series of markets over the warmer months.
Come and soak up the atmosphere with a day full of local flavour, and creativity. Wander through a handpicked selection of stalls featuring handmade crafts, fresh produce, and more — all brought to you by passionate local makers.
What to expect:
Wine tastings from our award-winning cellar & WINE SALE!
Fresh coffee to keep you fueled
Unique finds from local vendors
Wood-fired pizzas, donuts, burgers, toasties, pastries & more..
Bring your friends, bring your family and make a day of it!
Our Restaurant will be opening early for brunch and lunch/dinner bookings as usual and our Lawn Bar will be taking bookings from 1pm.
Are you a vendor and want to be part of the action?
We have had a large amount of local legends touch base to join our market. Please feel free to fill out the form to apply and we will be in touch when we have a space at one of our markets.
At The Hunting Lodge we absolutely love celebrating love and hosting weddings. We understand that the big wedding reception isn't for everyone... so we have created a pop-up wedding package for those wanting to celebrate in style, while keeping it short & sweet (and even sweeter on the bank balance).
On your chosen date, you and your guests will have The Barn exclusively to yourselves for a three hour session. During this session (morning, afternoon or evening), you will have plenty of time for your ceremony, drinks, nibbles and mingling. Since you'll be sharing the day with other brides, we will have a structured but unrushed schedule planned for you. If you're interested in a session longer than three hours, we'd recommend enquiring about the evening session which is extendable to 10pm.
Catering for all group sizes, we'll take care of it all from the celebrant, to the bouquet, meaning you can truly relax and enjoy the day.

The locals Supper Club at The Restaurant
Our Supper Club is all about slowing down and sharing something special with locals. Each event is a one-night-only dining experience showcasing seasonal produce, creative flavours, and great company!
Expect long tables, a warm and relaxed atmosphere, and a menu that changes with every Supper Club — no two evenings are the same. From rustic harvest feasts to it’s always a chance to discover something new. Seats are limited and these nights tend to fill quickly, so keep an eye out for upcoming dates and secure your spot early. Keep checking back for new dates.
