Had a great lunch here. The meals are very filling and consist of a sharing plate and “meal” the food was fantastic. I had the Pork Belly for my meal/main.
They modified the meal to make it all GF.
Shared kitchen but they made every effort to avoid CC. Ate in the garden under a pergola - Beautiful peaceful setting.
Well worth the money - a bit more than we usually spend on lunch.
Enjoyed the whole experience.

Sisters Easter Weekend, concluded with a booked lunch at The Falls Retreat. Amazing food that went beyond our expectations not only in presentations, but taste as well. We have the three course Easter Feast and it didn't disappoint.

Thoroughly recommend Falls Retreat and their Feast menu. We stopped by for lunch and it was just great. As part of our selection we chose the vegetarian option of the Summer Provenance. It was by far the best vegetarian main we have had in a long time. Tasty and fresh. Beautiful for a summer lunch in the garden. We'll be back again the next time we're in Waihi

We used to eat here when it was offering casual dining but have also experienced one of their special occasion Degustation dinners - what can I say? one of the most stunning and memorable meals I have ever enjoyed. The cuisine is top class and the way they practice the 'garden to table' philosophy freshness feels very authentic. The setting may be rustic and down to earth but the food is five stars

Although it was raining and cold we had a lovely lunch in January by the fire. The shared platter was exceptional and plentiful! Service was friendly and attentive!
Mains were lovely especially knowing all the ingredients ae sourced locally. Would love to go back when it's sunny to appreciate the grounds and view.
