Culverden Hotel and Cafe
Accommodating
SH 7/24 Mountainview Road, Culverden 7392, New Zealand
An awesome spot for hearty pub grub with huge portions, friendly chats, and affordable drinks, perfect for a casual hangout.
Stopped in at the fish n chips but no gluten-free options and lovely young guy directed us to the pub for celiac people, so across to the pub we went, wow, what a friendly welcome and yes we do celiac friendly meals, big range of options. Wasn't disappointed with chicken tenders, chips and coleslaw. Great service, friendly bar maid and highly recommend the pub for grub.
The Hurunui Hotel
Gluten-free options
1224 Karaka Road, The Hurunui Hotel State Highway 7, Hurunui 7385, New Zealand
A cozy spot with inviting rooms and a charming outdoor area, perfect for a lovely retreat and a fun experience.
I recently spent a night at The Hurunui Hotel and loved every moment of it! The food is great and the staff are understanding about dietary needs informing you of your options. I really enjoyed my gluten free pizza! The rooms are inviting, warm and well set out. There is a bit of road noise but it's not bad later on at night and they provide ear plugs. I can't recommend The Hurunui Hotel highly enough! A night here really is an experience!
