Welcome to the culinary heart of the Wairarapa — at The White Swan Hotel, our restaurant and gastro-bar bring locally-sourced flavour, stylish surroundings and warm hospitality together in the historic village of Greytown. Whether you’re settling in for a fine dinner, sharing casual bites over cocktails, or enjoying the sunset on our garden deck, our dining spaces are designed to delight.

Our Dining Rooms — Something for Every Occasion

  • The Captain’s Dining Room: Located within the hotel’s classic architecture, this fine-dining space has been recognised in the Top New Zealand Restaurants list in the Cuisine Good Food Guide for three years running. Here, our seasonal menu is curated by our Executive Chef and Head Chef, celebrating the best of Wairarapa’s artisan producers and coastal harvests. Available from 5pm Wednesday to Sunday.
