Queenstown locals are being given the opportunity to dine with distinction and sleep in style in a special promotion to win the ‘Ultimate Weekend’ at the newly-refurbished Distinction Nugget Point Boutique Hotel.
They can be in to win two nights at the unique property in a luxurious Presidential Suite, which boasts spectacular views across the Shotover River.
All locals have to do is dine at the hotel for breakfast, afternoon tea or dinner before June 30 2010 to go in the draw to win the ‘Ultimate Weekend’.
‘The Ultimate Weekend’ prize includes two nights for two in a Presidential Suite with champagne and canapés in-suite upon arrival, breakfast in the Breakfast Room each morning and a 3-course dining experience in the hotel’s dining room - Birches - with a bottle of wine.
There is also a late check-out, car parking, free wireless internet and the use of gym and squash facilities. The total prize package is valued at $3000.
Executive Chef Rob Hunt, who has worked in some of the world’s finest restaurants, believes those dining at Birches are in for a mouth-watering experience.
“Dining at Birches will be an experience in itself, because I create only the best dishes in classical French style, using the highest quality local ingredients,” he said.
“Come and sample our truly indulgent afternoon tea, with its light-as-air French style pastries, exquisitely prepared sandwiches, petite scones and other melt-in-the-mouth delicacies, or treat yourself to an unforgettable dinner experience with dishes such as the loin of local Cardrona Merino Lamb with braised fennel and olive puree, buttered thyme, garlic roasted potatoes and a lamb jus.
“Having the opportunity to win an amazing weekend on top of that means diners can literally have their cake and eat it too!” said Mr Hunt.
Distinction Nugget Point would like locals to see the hotel as a ‘home away from home’, somewhere where they can sink into an overstuffed armchair in front of a roaring fire and are encouraged to put Chef Hunt’s Michelin-star culinary expertise to the test.
“We have a small, rather luxurious and very engaging property here, and we’re proud of the extremely high levels of service and standards we offer visitors or guests,” said General Manager Ken Edwards.
“We welcome locals with open arms and look forward to giving one of them a very special chance to come and stay.”
Terms and conditions for ‘The Ultimate Weekend’ apply.
