The Duke of Marlbourough

This old gem is in the most picturesque of locations, situated right on the waterfront of the historic town of Russell.

From multiple dining experiences, be it a summer lunch on the outdoor tables by the sea backed up with the soft tunes of a live performer, the indoor dining room for a beautiful evening wedding reception, or the outdoor deck for a New Year’s eve dinner, we promise you won’t be disappointed. Being the first licensed restaurant and bar in New Zealand, you will be transported back in time, as the restaurant retains the historic décor and mood of its early days with an ambience you can only know once experienced. Serving up the very best of New Zealand Beef + Lamb and locally caught seafood, every dish tastes as impressive as it looks.

You won’t leave it long until your next visit.
