Hi foodie-central-Haha yes that’s exactly what I thought! I meant to ask them if they were sharp

Hi. the projectivist-Yes I loved the furniture here! Fantastic decor Haha well you couldn’t help yourself could you?

Hi FFichiban-I wonder if it would be hard to do your own This place is right up your alley no? Not that I know of, in fact if I were to ask anyone it would probably be you!

Hi Thabo Skosana-I am not sure! I think there is just one in NZ.

Hi anna-Isn’t it just so welcoming and gorgeous?

Hi The Duo Dishes-Yup I know, many can’t believe it but I just don’t like it They were very well cooked and lovely cuts!

Hi Zam-Ah yes well if you like skiing or snowsports Winter but otherwise Summer is just stunning They’ve definitely got a few of those LOTR tours!! I know, so many people love it. I used to and grew it but just didn’t like it after a while-perhaps I had too much.

Hi Jo-Oh wonderful! Thanks we did enjoy it very much!

Hi Angela-Hehe we just knew we’d like it after seeing that too and yes very Dexter indeed! WE don’t often get offered wood firing here I’m afraid so you’re very lucky! Haha just tripe and kidneys

I knew I’d love this restaurant from the opening shot of the door handle. Awesome and very Dexter, too!

The steaks sound (and look) fantastic, and I’d totally go for wood-fired, too. It’s my favourite way of cooking savoury stuff, and as I know I’ll never be fortunate (or rich) enough to own one, I make a point of ordering wood-fired whenever possible.

I am, however, in mild shock about the thyme! What other secret dislikes do you have, I wonder?

Funnily enough I AM from Botswana and seeing this post put a big smile on my face.
I am privelaged enough to be eating the best meat in the world
I’m glad you enjoyed it

Wow, I really need to visit New Zealand! I’ve always wanted to go – but I can’t decide between going during summer or winter – though eventually I’d get around to both! (I secretly want to go on a Lord of the Rings tour as well)

I am so surprised you don’t like thyme! It’s probably my favourite herb (after basil!) – I love adding it to omelettes, fried eggs etc!

Love that butcher knife! Classic. You don’t like thyme? Oh man, we love it so much. This dinner looks fantastic. Really out of this world. Those cuts of meat are amazing.

Those dining rooms are gorgeous, and the wine cellar looks so cool! And a bar area with couches and a fireplace? Yes please!

Oh Yuuuummmm!! This place looks so gorgeous, and I love the cleaver handle haha XD! The meat looks so succulent and divine as well, pity about the sauce and wood firing sounds very interesting. Know of any places here that wood fires steak?
