Discover and
experience arc
Discover arc, nestled in Wanaka’s main street. This warm and relaxed space offers the ideal backdrop for an evening celebrating with friends or a cosy, intimate meal. The secret native garden is the perfect spot to socialise over drinks, and the carefully created menu allows you to snack on share plates or stay and indulge in multiple dishes for dinner. Exceptional ingredients are sourced from producers across New Zealand to add detail and innovation in the cocktails and dinner offerings alike.
Owners and Chefs James Stapley and Sam Cooper, both originally from the UK, met in Wanaka and immediately connected over their passion for good food and good service, without the airs and graces. From arc’s inception, they took the same passion for sourcing local, high-quality ingredients for their menus and applied that to working closely with local craftsmen to redesign the space inside, using recycled native Rimu throughout and decorating with Otago wild flowers, to create a simple but beautiful atmosphere.
