New Zealand has officially earned its place on the global culinary stage.
Essence by ROKI has become the country's only restaurant to receive two Michelin Stars, recognition reserved for truly exceptional dining. Every course celebrates New Zealand's remarkable produce, delivered with creativity, precision and a deep respect for place.
The experience becomes even more memorable when paired with a stay at ROKI's luxury accommodation in the spectacular Rees Valley. Surrounded by alpine wilderness, guests can combine world-class dining with immersive outdoor experiences in one of the South Island's most remarkable settings.
