Welcome to Church Hill Boutique Lodge & Restaurant

Church Hill Restaurant Limited is a proudly New Zealand owned and operated business that offers fully hosted accommodation on Rakiura, Stewart Island, New Zealand. Our restaurant caters for the guests at the lodge with an emphasis on fresh local produce, homemade and prepared to order.

Your hosts are Deanne and Chris Sara, who re-established Church Hill Restaurant & Oyster Bar in 2012 and Church Hill Boutique Lodge & Restaurant in 2017.

"For us, it is all about our island and the experience we want our guests to take away with them."

Situated on the hill by the church we offer our guests wonderful views of the bay, the outer islands and the best of Stewart Island.

 
Church Hill Lodge is open for the 2024-25 season
