Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We very much enjoyed our stay at Owen River Tavern. Whilst in a remote area, we liked the peace of it. The owners Kim and John were wonderful and welcoming - plus they make an amazing Chinese dinner! Highly recommended! Thank you Kim and John for being so hospitable. We will be back to stay again next time we’re in the South Island.
Summary: A warm, cosy tavern with the best Chinese food in the South!
