You’ll feel right at home here…


At the Riwaka Hotel there is something for everyone. Whether you want a beer at the bar, a low seat by the fire, to hang out in the garden bar, or a sit-down meal in the dining room – they’ve got the space to suit.

The best establishments are all about the details and we’ve taken care of a few for you; whether it's our family friendly spaces with games and outdoor spaces for the kids to play or shuttle bus service operating to get punters home after a long afternoon in the sun. 

We’ve pulled out all the stops to make sure you love it here as much as we do. After all, all great pubs are only as good as the people they attract.

Farm to Plate

We’re inspired by the pristine environment that we’re surrounded by - the stunning Tasman Bay with its turquoise ocean, the rolling hills and marble mountains, the plains that grow some of New Zealand’s best produce. And the best way to get to know a local area is through its food. 

That’s why our offering is anchored in the ‘Farm to Plate’ concept and we operate on the philosophy that if we can't grow it ourselves, we source it locally.

Larger than Larger

Every bloke or blokess needs a place where they can unwind with a cool beer and good old chinwag with their mates. And everyone has their favourites…

You can expect to find all the classics at the Riwaka Hotel but our extensive range of wine and beers celebrate the best of what the Nelson Tasman region (and further afield) has to offer. 

We serve up the freshest Hop Federation beer available. The brewery is just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Riwaka Hotel itself. That all sits alongside an extensive wine and cocktail list as well as all the usual suspects and a few top shelf treats for those late night lock ins. 

So come and join us, and sip on the freshest beer in the heart of New Zealand hop country. Cheers to that!
