Up-coming and new initiatives
We are now part of South Canterbury’s Wine and Food trail offering High Tea with home baked favourites, antipastos, wine tasting with a stroll around the “former Heaton Rutland” gardens or a warm up by the fireplace featured in the venue. How about “time out” in the Lakeview suit accommodation and receive some spa treatments.
We are always ready to think “outside the square” - StoneBridge continues onwards and upwards with Mt Hutt Heli ski hire. Let us take you to the ski fields during this winter and return to the warmth and comfort of a hot spa.
