Our grapes are grown within some of the most prized winegrowing pockets of Hawke’s Bay, celebrating the abundance of the region. We prefer to let nature determine the flavours of our wines, which is another way of saying that the only chemistry going on around here is out there, on the vines.

You might say we’re a little rebellious in our disregard for the accepted ways of doing things. But when it comes to making wine, we believe the less interference from the meddlesome hand of man, the better.

It seems to be working.

Naturally.

At Moana Park, we challenge accepted winemaking habits to produce wines that are naturally grown, low in allergens and additives, and pure joy to drink.

Pearl Garden Back in 1975 an innovative energetic Mama Kan (Pauline) started a small intimate restaurant with eight tables, 30 plates and 30 bowls.

Pauline did most of the cooking herself as well as overseeing the daily purchase of fresh produce and occasionally the washing up after service. She had a vision to introduce a different Chinese cuisine into Newmarket with a variety of dumpling delicacies and wok inspired specialties, reminiscent of her renowned cookbook recipes. Following Mama Kan’s foundations, Pearl Garden still uses the simple philosophy, good wholesome food using the freshest ingredients. On any given day you may see at least 3 generations of Kan’s working in the restaurant. Pearl Garden believes the secret to success is ensuring that traditions and quality standards are maintained.

Bloody Mary’s Bishop Hugh Latimer & Queen ‘Bloody’ Mary had their differences ending in a fiery episode with Latimer somewhat over-done. Honoured in the namesake Latimer Square the Bishop and Queen are now reunited in the form of Bloody Mary’s Bar-Lounge-Grill.The grill draws inspiration from the astounding Canterbury produce with seasonally focused, uncomplicated & approachable cuisine. The décor alludes to a handsome hide-out for the dapper; dark oak timber, bluestone, plush leather and rich fabric all feature in a sophisticated space. The low-lit lounge has a softer more romantic feel perfect for evening contemplation over a whiskey or flagship cocktail. Behind rolling oak doors is the private dining room, a sexy enclave perfect for secluded festivity.
