We have been to a couple of other South Is Salmon fishing experience and really want to rate you guys as outstanding. Beautiful environment, great equipment and the cafe was amazing from the friendly, upbeat staff to the speed of the smoke. Thanks for providing wee picnic blankets too though a little more shade about the pond would be much appreciated when your bloke won't give up fishing 🤣🤣

J. C.

Great place to be just to experience fishing. Not a lot of fishing skills required to fish here. Phone never get picked up Lake is full of fish. Pricing is a little bit too expensive Although smoked salmon was great but sashimi was a disaster A little disappointed with the staff cooking ability. Sashimi left under hot air temperature for too long Fish fillet wasn’t cut very well and left too long outside. Temperature control wasn’t great in sashimi. Suggest to train the staff to enhance their cooking ability

I honestly hands down the best activity and fun when I was in Wanaka. Mark is very friendly and helpful to us, explaining about the fishing. It’s fairly easy to fish as we spend probably only. 15 mins to catch 3 fishes. We haven’t even finish our chips yet. Lol. You can have your fish cooked right away. we had ours sashimi for $20, hot smoke for $10 (best tasting! so good!) and the rest we fillet to bring home(free fillet) fish price is only $28/kg which is very fair price. You just need to hire the rod for $7. It was the best laugh we had cause we have absolutely zero skill in fishing 😂 but still managed to fish some. Apart from that, the margherita pizza is amazing too! I can’t recommend enough of this place. Sure be back!

T. H.

Amazing! caught 2 salmon, took us just over 3 hours but was extremely relaxing and super helpful staff! cooked and served to us within half an hour! if you're going don't do what we did and forget sunscreen as we are extremely burnt. 😅

S. J.

Great location and friendly staff. Cool idea of being able to fish for a salmon that they then prepare for you to eat or take away. We didn't do this option, but it looked like the people who were, were having a great time! :). The meal was pretty tasty, and their pizza was pretty good too. Hook is worth a visit weather you live here or visiting.

O. O.

Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly (especially Kheira and Jonn) and the food is delicious. It's definitely not like other restaurants, you enjoy fishing and eating of what you have caught. Thank you guys for such a wonderful experience.

J.

I would rate this higher than 5 if i could. What a fantastic afternoon! We spent an hour, caught 3 salmon and having had the largest of the lot freshly hot smoked after. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful when we’d gone sometime short on luck and hilarious when we laughed at our smallest catch. The hot smoked salmon was amazing, one of the tastiest meals i’ve had - all that much better with their fantastic selection of drinks and the satisfaction of it being my own catch. I recommend to anyone who loves fishing and salmon, will will most definitely be back.

S. C.

We had an excellent time here! We stopped through for lunch on the way through it Wanaka from Queenstown. Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in eating delicious salmon. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. We went with a small group easily caught enough fish to feed the 6 of us. Great selection of local beers available as well!

B. H.

Absolutely loved this place. Went twice in two days for the most delicious authentic pizzas. Great experience, wonderful staff and beautiful scenery.

S. A.

Amazing experience! Caught 2 salmon within half an hour (ask for some pieces of bait if the pellets aren’t working!) We had one fillet hot smoked to try there and it was so good my wife and nearly I ate the while thing. Also got an order of focaccia which was also delicious. We will definitely go back next time we’re in Wanaka.

S. T.

Visited Hook with my wife and four young kids. We left with a great feed of sashimi and hot smoked salmon and smiles on everyone's faces. My son caught his, first rainbow. A few of us fished whilst the others enjoyed some great food and the surrounding parks and lakes. Not a bored soul among us! Staff were easy going andvery helpful

P. C.

Stunning place to take the kids to go fishing. This was a memorable experience and we will go again and again.

W. L.

What an awesome experience at Hook Wanaka. I came on recommendation from someone and it sure didn't disappoint. Although it did take a bit of time and patience to hook a fish, it was worth it. If you don't have much luck for a while, they will come around and check on you to offer you some extra help 😉 🐟 . I was lucky in a way my 4.3 kg Salmon was deemed too mature to eat and was destroyed, otherwise it was going to hurt my pocket a bit as they charge by weight. Food was amazing and the kids had fun too.

R. N.

Had a fun fun experience with family... first time to go fishing and was really happy with my catch. Food was also very yummy...

R. C.

If you want to have the thrill of catching a beautiful salmon and eating it in the next 45mins, there's no better place than the Hook Wanaka. Great customer service with a smile and hands down the best salmon I have ever tasted. We also had the woodfire pizza which was nice. I would recommend having a walk around the holder ponds after to see hundreds if not thousands of salmon swimming around. A very cool experience!

K.

What a fantastic place to spend an afternoon. So much for the kids to do. Molly caught this 3.7kg whopper. The staff were fabulous despite being run off their feet. Thank you so much team, we will most certainly be back once we've finished eating this guy!

L. C.

I advise not to turn up here in holiday season time. Absolutely ridiculous waits. No glasses available for a drink. Paid our $7 for rod hire told a 10minute wait, 30 minutes later still no rod so we left. Have been here before when it wasn't busy and it was fun and enjoyed the salmon throughly. Perhaps limit the amount of guests allowed in and turning people away at the door would be more helpful.

M. B.

An absolute 10/10. A gorgeous environment, with a truly delightful experience baked right in. The "fishing" is probably better described as "catching", and the results are exceptionally delicious. The lakes are stunningly clear, with a remarkable hydrology story to boot. A simply extraordinary experience for literally all ages.

C.

Great food, friendly staff, beautiful setting, awesome vibe. While the kids were fishing, we hung out with them by the lake with a beer & wine. The kids caught 3 salmon & Hook sashimi’d 2, smoked the 3rd we also ordered yummy pizza.

M. J.

Great concept! We're visiting the south island for our honeymoon so working some fishing into the itinerary was going to be a challenge. Promises of fresh salmon were just enough to sneak a rod into the suitcase, but after a tough day at the twizel/tekapo canals with nothing to show for it I needed a plan B. This place was perfect! Staff very friendly and good to deal with, I fished the pond at the back with fewer but larger fish and managed a 2.878 kg one in great condition which fought well. Was impressed with how quickly it came back to us hot smoked, especially with the place being so busy with school holidays, and the taste was beautiful! Highly recommended as an anglers plan B. Haha!

Y.

Fun Place To go I went at almost dark, only caught 3 fish though that was enough. The food is really good aswell and I love the way they serve the food :) will probably be back one day.

R. S.

Nice environment with guaranteed fish. The salmon was presented nicely and tasted great. John and Alex were very friendly and helpful. A bit pricey but worth it

B. P.

Excellent experience! My grandmother hooked herself a beautiful 3.3 kg Salmon, it put up a good fight which made the whole experience feel very rewarding. We got it gutted and put it straight in the oven, best tasting salmon I have had!

M.

Love this experience from lake to plate. Reasonable price and staff is really friendly

A.

Very cool place where you can have an amazing meal and a fantastic experience. I am not a very experienced fishermen myself. However I was able to catch three fish with some assistance from the friendly team. We ordered smoked salmon and sashimi and both were absolutely fantastic

R.

Great place for a walk around with the kids to feed the fish. The restaurant looked full and the fishing options were great if you hadn't fished before.

A.

This was my second visit to this place and this experience was better as we brought 4 other friends to see why we liked this place so much. And Hook did not disappoint. Caught 3 fish, 2 were hotsmoked on the spot and 1 Sushmi. Definitely Yum and staff were great! We will definately be back here again on a south island trip

N.

Great place first time doing a salmon farm fish saw alot didnt catch anything 🤣 would have been better if i didnt need to swap out my rod 4 times as they had rods without hooks hanging for people to grab and tangles in the reel. It may be others from the public leaving rods without telling otganisers just annoying having to go bqck and get 4 lots of rods to go for the 1 fish

J.

This is a great place to visit and would recommend. We have just had the afternoon here with family and couldn’t fault out experience. The staff were fantastic. They were very informative, friendly and so helpful. The food was awesome and it was a great thrill to catch a great Salmon!!! Thank you for the awesome day and would definitely recommend for everyone.

R.

Did a walk through but it was gorgeous, looks like you are walking into a golf course. Very stylish Cafe, bean bags , fishing for your own fish from the pond. Just remember you pay per kilo the fish you catch, but that's all clearly signed. Well worth the visit.

A. C.

Fantastic experience! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! They gut the fish for you to take home and they cooked the other one for us to eat. The smoked salmon is delicious! It was nice and tender and full of flavour. I would highly recommend and I’d probably go back in a few weeks.

H.

Great atmosphere, and beautiful location. Had great fun fishing with friends before enjoying some drinks and nibbles while taking in the spectacular scenery.

D.

What a great place to catch and eat a salmon. We took our 12 and 9 year old grandsons to try their hand at fishing - and even though it was later in the afternoon and very cold everyone enjoyed the experience. We chose to smoke our catch and it was served on a large platter with 4 adults devouring every last morsel - delicious!!! The boys chose a pizza instead- more for us!

S. C.

3.5. The idea is really cool. Catch your own salmon and have it served up one of three ways. The service was friendly and in a sunny day it's a beautiful spot. We went on a day where the fish weren't biting (too hot) so got a platter and some pizzas. The pizzas seem to be cooked one by one so if you get a few they just come out to the table when ready. For cactching the fish, you are stuck with the size you catch so can be too much or too little depending on how many people you are. But they can prep takeaway for any extra. 15% surcharge on public holidays.

T. G.

Little bit of a wait(~20min), but the weather was awesome so expected. Was hoping for all the kids to catch one each but after a 3.9kg stonker for the second one we called it a day. The fishing reel they hired to us was semi-functional, so I had to help get it in. If you're just after fish, buy it from the shop it will cost about the same. However if you want a fun day that will leave the kids smiling come to Hook Wanaka. Enjoyed a few pints while waiting for it our fish to be prepared (~50min wait)

J. M.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit . We take all our visitors there as it offers a full on fun day, fishing, play area for the children, good food, cold beers, great coffee (the Canadian? Male barista is excellent), good music. Just a great all round experience.

k.

A bit disappointed I guess due to covid we had salmon pizza but not much salmon and quite expensive but a lovely atmosphere.Would try it again though.Beautiful setting but was a drizzly day so not the best time.

L. P.

So much fun! We had an afternoon to spare in Wanaka and decided to do this activity. We had hooked our first fish within 10 minutes - the second was a bit more of a wait, but a gorgeous lake setting made for a relaxing time. The staff were super helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed eating one of our catch at the eatery, and took the other with us (hot smoked). Delicious! I’d highly recommend this activity for people of all ages.

R. R.

Highly recommended this place for all the fish lover and family. Went there yesterday and it was amazing!!! First thing to mention is their view, it's superb👍👍👍The environment there are good with lots of relaxing stuffs and you can just lay on the clean grasses enjoying the sun spending good time with your family or your love one. The lake there are clean and beautiful too. I can guarantee there are lots of salmon inside the lake as we can see them axactly jumping out the water and they are all very strong when get hooked. It's a place for sport fishing as the fish will really give you a great fight when get hooked. The salmon will jump out the water when get hooked and they will drag your line strongly. Manage to catch 3 good size salmons 2.4,2.6,2.8kg. 🐟🐟🐟More to mentions is their staffs, they are very friendly and helpful. You can ask for their advise for how to catch the fish effectively and they will teach the people to fish patiently. I can see they always come and teach some people there as they don't have a good fishing skills. We took 2 of our catches to cook there. 1 for smoke and 1 for sashimi. Its yummy 😋😋😋

A. D. B.

Could not recommend highly enough we had a fun morning learning to cast and retrieve our fishing line and John our instructor was super patient and knowledgeable with a great knowledge of both fishing and the fish themselves. We can caught a beautiful fresh salmon and then had an awesome meal of hot smoked and sashimi salmon. Highly recommend the hot smoked option absolutely delicious! A great day out

J. L.

What's not to like if you could fish and have your catch prepared onsite or takeaway. The cost of the salmon is lower compared to the price at the supermarkets. We had fun. A great place for family outings.

J.

Great fun but can be expensive. Google map said it was closed on Fridays but it wasn't.

E.

Such a great place to spend time with family and friends. Good value for money, great atmosphere. Highly recommend. Kheira and John were extremely helpful. Thank you for such a great experience.

K.

Great chilled place to go - excellent food and drinks - and catch a salmon to take home if you want. Recommended.

A. A.

I can’t really describe how much I liked the experience and how much I enjoyed it ! It is my favourite experience in the South Island . I highly recommend doing it even if you as far from fishing as Me ! I had Zero knowledge about Fishing but John “hope I spelled the name right” has gone the extra mile and show me how to fish and did a demo. He was very nice and really I could see how passionate he is. They cooked the fish for me later and tested delicious! Nothing better than a smoked salmon 😊 One more thing, I am really sad of the people whom made bad reviews and there are saying “ it’s overpriced” !! Well !! You knew about it right !!! They had the prices all over the place !! In the website in the restaurant in the parking and even they let you know before starting!!!! Please review wisely!!! It is absolutely your freedom to express your opinions but do not put low ratings or low stars because it was “Overpriced” !! Unless you didn’t knew about it !!!! Or there were a hidden fees !! And remember if you want only a fish please go to the supermarket!! Remember you are paying here for the whole experience!! Please go to the supermarket and don’t ruin the place for other people. Can’t understand people when they think they have some power :)

M.

Amazing place to have a relaxed and fun time. The site is beautiful and it is just gorgeous to hang out. And for the onces fishing.. it's pretty much 100% of a chance to catch nice salmon. For me it toke a while, but the crew is outstanding and they made sure that I caught one. The kitchen is doing a great job as well - I chose mine to be hot smoked and it was super tasty! :-)

M. M.

Very nice place. You can catch your own salmon and have it cooked for you or package it to take it home

N.

Fantastic place, awesome location, great way to spend a few hours. YAY caught a fish, smoked on site, great atmosphere. Staff were great too

C. Q.

One of the best experiences in NZ South island. If you love fishing then you would love it here. You'll definitely get a fish! Rent fishing gears for $5. When you a catch a fish, releasing it is not allowed, you must purchase it. It's roughly $30/kg. They then cook it for you either smoked or sashimi. All staff are very helpful. Must go to

S. M.

Relaxed and kid-friendly. The fishing was enjoyable and our catch cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed the surrounds and kids had a great time.

K.

Great spot in sunny Wanaka. I went finishing for the first time here and caught my first fish! After catching, you have the option to eat. John turned my salmon into sashimi, but they can also cook it for you. Relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff and great deals on Coronas. Liked it so much that we came back for pizzas the next day (yum). Would be great for a casual meal - even if fishing isn’t your thing.

V.

Nice place to relax for a day. It’s our first time fo4 fishing and we fish a big salmon with the help of staff. Amazing experience! Beside Salmon, they have a very nice pizza clay oven!

G. C.

We caught a huge salmon that was beautifully prepared for eating afterwards. Other menu items looked really good as well

C.

such an awesome place! enjoy the fishing so much. Me and my brother both did the fishing but mum agree only to pay for one fish. My brother got his one, so it means I end up only to practice fishing with no baits. However, I got a fish too! The owner was so kind as he let us only buy one as planned. The environment just really cool. Plenty of space for picnic around the lake and food at the cafe was excellent. The staffs all very friendly and kind even when I accidently break the fishing rod. Bet you will enjoy it too.

J. T.

Hook wanaka was one of the best activity we did in SI. We tried to hook a salmon in the pond for about 2 hours to no success as it was a hot DAY. Seeing that, Adam the farm owner came to help me.. Give me some really good pointers and help me with some baits and all and we caught a 2.5kg salmon and he even help me spike it. The way they prepare the salmon for consumption was excellent too.. Sashimi and hot smoked. Highly recommended this place to anyone.. Couples and families. Thank you Adam for bringing the magic!

M.

Food is amazing!!!! Drove past and saw the sign for salmon. Read reviews on google. Walked in, bought take away hot smoked salmon!! The best ever!! Thanks

P. B.

Had the pleasure of John being our guide. Caught amazing fish and the kitchen prepared it beautifully. Must do experience when on the region.

O.

Great place, cought fish easily, I don't even have any experience fishing and we cought 3 salmon in less than 20 minutes. The salmon was smoked for us, it was fantastic. Highly recommend coming here

H.

Amazing place, glad we had a chance to visit & catch a salmon was very yummy when it was smoked, ppl don't go pass this place its great

D. D.

Beautiful unique venue. Great food and lovely staff. We sat on the bean bags and enjoyed Hook special pizza.

P. J.

Best fishing fun, in, hook, cook, and out. Note; go earliest you can in the morning or late in the afternoon. The two times when fish will naturally feed. Good fishing folk. :)

M.

relaxing, lots to do, and we caught a fish. really friendly staff

B.

Great afternoon spent with a few beers. Once you get the hang of it, you're bound to be hooked! We had a great catch - 3.24kg. We had both the sashimi and hot smoked options. Both were absolutely beautiful in presentation and flavour. The salad we ordered complimented the fish very well.

R. A.

We have just had the most wonderful few hours here. We decided to do the guided fish, and we had John as our guide. John has fantastic knowledge, clearly loves his job and made the experience awesome! We relaxed on the beanbags with a drink while our salmon was prepared and it was delicious when it was ready! All and all a bloody great few hours, great set up and awesome staff!

S. E.

Awesome experience, great way to relax in the afternoon and have some fun. Service is awesome, great young crew! Great for kids and facilities are really good.

H.

Great setup and concept - service was great, fishing very fun and the ability eat and take away the salmon at the end was amazing! Great day!

H.

Absolutely loved it. Kids had a blast and had a good Salmon dinner to show for it! Highly recommended for any fish / Salmon lovers.

S. L.

Fantastic place for kids. Sandpit, fish feeding, great fluffies, kids menu and best of all lots of open space! Will definitely be on our regular list!

I.

If you want to have experience to catch a Salmon and Enjoy the Fish that you catch, this is the right place to visit and no need fishing experience to do it.

j.

Great experience great food 100% will be going back only down side was the 2 couples who ordered food behind us got there food first other wise allgood

M.

Such a fun place to visit great to catch a fish and enjoy a beverage with family and friends.I will go again

A. G. (.

Great concept and excellent experience - juts a few minor tweaks needed First off, the concept is brilliant and the owners have done an excellent job in creating a beautiful area and restaurant. It even has a sandpit for the kids while you enjoy a wine and wait for the Salmon to be prepared. We hired two rods ($5 each) and it took roughly 30 minutes to catch a fish which felt about right. We choose the shallow end of the main pond so the experience would drag out a little for the kids. Unlike some other posters we felt the Hook team were very transparent on pricing. They displayed the average fish weight and the market price per KG so there were no surprises. One area that can catch you out is getting a table inside the main restaurant. Its a pretty small space and catching the fish is really only half of the experience. If we were to go back we would reserve a table in advance but as first timers this really caught us out! If we are nitpicking, it would be nice to have a couple more options for preparing the caught salmon. Yes, there are options on the main menu but the 'appeal' of Hook is in eating the salmon you personally catch! That said the food was excellent so no complaints there. Another minor thing was the staff seemed a little inexperience when it came to food service and the bar was incredibly slow to take drink orders. This place is great, just make a reservation first or be prepared to sit in an uncovered table - great in summer I would imagine. Looking forward to seeing this business develop over the next few years!

Kia Ora, I was first introduced to Hook by a friend in Auckland in early 2020 and hence, put it on my bucket list of must visit places. Since then, I have been to Hook several times and have always had a pleasant experience. Having two young children who are both addicted to fishing, we decided to travel to Wanaka from Auckland for the school holidays where we would surprise them with a visit to Hook for the experience of fishing. We visited Hook Wanaka on the 14th of July and the children had a blast and caught three salmon which we asked to be hot smoked. Our youngest one loved the experience, but did not like to eat the fish as he did not like the dressing, but the rest of us all loved it. As today was our last day in Wanaka, we decided to pay Hook one more visit until our next trip. Once we arrived, a young man in his teens with a cap on advised us bluntly that we will need to wait for about thirty minutes as all the rods were out and there was a waiting list. As we had been to Hook several times before, we understood and advised the young man that there was no problem and got our names put down on the waiting list. A while later the buzzer went off and we went to get our gear . As we did not have several hours to spare, I asked the young man if there were any salmon scraps that we could use for bait instead of the pellets. He immediately responded "no there is not at the moment". We went to try our luck to no avail and I came back to check and found another young man at the reception who was extremely pleasant and when asked about salmon scraps for bait, he advised "sure do. I will go and get some for you". He returned within a minute and after about twenty minutes, we had caught four salmon which we took for hot smoking. The young man who had given us the salmon bait also took our order and I asked for one of the fish not have any dressing on it so our youngest one could eat it. After waiting for our order and upon the going of the buzzer, I saw our two fish that had been prepared and asked the very nice lady about our salmon that was not going to have any dressing on it so as to find out when it was going to be ready. We had bare started our conversation when the young man with the cap who was now in the kitchen turned around out of the blue and while interrupting our conversation, and again in a very blunt and condescending tone said "all the fish has been prepared according to your order" and turned around. I looked at him while he had turned his back and said "it is ok mate" . Well, the truth of the matter was that the fish had not been prepared according to our order. Although, there was no dill on one of the fish, there was still the dressing . The order was for one fish to be plain smoked without anything on it. For us as a family, the experience itself was worth it and seeing the kids' excitement while catching their fish was priceless. Having been in the hospitality and customer service field for the past twenty years in different roles including managerial three managerial roles, I am well acquainted with how vital good customer service is to a business. I understand that Hook is a family run business and I do not expect flawless customer service by any stretch of the imagination, but basic common courtesy is something that I should be able to expect. I was never going to write this review, but feel that it is necessary for this feedback to be provided. My four star rating is reflective of the excellent customer service that we received from the young man who provided us the salmon bait and the lady who prepared our fish.

A. B.

We loved our visit to Hook! Would highly recommend. Kids enjoyed the fishing, exploring the grounds and the amazing sandpit (lots of diggers, trucks etc). Beautiful spot to relax and enjoy your catch with a drink!

N.

Great experience fishing for your catch to be smoked and eaten or vacume packed for take away. Great atmosphere with idyllic views. Fishing equipment needs to be updated though. Two fishing reel handles fell off while reeling with no load. The third reel after examination had cracks around it ready to give in... First time this has ever happened while fishing.

S.

Great fun catching the salmon. The fish was beautifully prepared and presented.

R.

Best Mother’s Day ever great place my friend and I celebrate mother’s day together every year she caught her first fish ever friendly staff great service, food, wine. Fantastic lake area and the best donuts ever Thanks chef Sam yummy. Can’t wait to come back with family

W. D. L.

This was the best pizza everrrrrr "Hook special" Ricotta mosa base, hot salmon, marinated tomato, olive and rocket. Sweet as venue.

J. M.

Great experience. Never caught salmon before so it was fun. Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend if you're in Wanaka.

S. W.

New Place, Very nice place to having relax time with family and kids. Fishing Salmon and eat here.

J.

Great experience for fishing* if youre a beginner! Pricing is very good for value, a must do if youre nearby! Food is good, yes they serve good coffee and the staff are very friendly which adds to the good vibes. Fish took a while to bite, make sure you have an hour (ish) of patience 😃 Vegan friendly menu, child friendly place. Bring rugged shoes as grounds may be muddy.

A.

Perfect beautiful place to be. The fishing is really good (half the price compare to the other salmon place) plus free cleaning filleting the fish. Service is great n they go along way to please us.

A.

The nicest and best fishing venue I've ever been to. Amazingly well stocked ponds, we pulled out 3 salmon in a matter of a few minutes totalling about 7kg all together. Really well cooked and entertainment for the kids on sand pits and toys while we tried the wine.

J.

Hook is a fun place because you get to eat the fish you catch and it tastes super good. It is a unique way to catch up with your friends!

S.

Fabulous place to unwind, have a drink, delicious food and hopefully catch a salmon to take hime.

R.

Great afternoon at hook. As someone who likes the catch and take for a meal principle this works well. Managed to land a couple of salmon. Better odds than heading out on a charter but never any guarantees. Great concept and most groups appear to catch a fish with a bit of patience. Would go back again.

B. S.

Good family fun. Helpful staff and delicious fresh salmon made for a great afternoon out.

K.

Hot smoked salmon, best I’ve ever had. Pretty easy to catch fish, people reeling them in around ya. Lot of fun, great beers on tap, quality local wine and awesome feed. Look forward to coming back. Note to get in early as place packs out!!

A.

Amazingly fun experience with the kids (although not sure who was more in to it - the kids or the parents!). Such friendly staff and great bar and food. The fried chicken is yum. Highly reccommend!

D. B.

We had an absolute blast catching our fish. They were very small though at just over 600 grams and one just under a kg. We stopped in the bar for a beer and fries and eagerly took our salmon home as sashimi. There is where the review takes a turn as we were very disappointed with the taste of the salmon. It tasted weird, hard to explain it kind of tasted grassey. It was not nice at all. Most of us couldn't finish it.... Looking at other reviews it seems like this is not normal though?

J.

Fun and delicious experience. Friendly and helpful staff. I'll be returning the next time around

A.

Very special atmosphere and views. Great for friends and families

L. G.

Awesome place- we didn't have much luck catching a fish (people all around us did though) so we opted to go in and have one of the "salmon three ways" platters which was delicious. While we were eating, one of the team offered to come and help us catch one once we were done which we really appreciated.

C.

Beautiful property with great business concept carried out so well. Charming staff and such a great scene @ outdoor bar, social seating/ dining areas. Our 4 year old daughter caught us a 2.2 kilo Salmon with some help. We had the hot smoked preparation on 1/2 if our catch and took the other half with us on the road. Food and beverages were very well prepared. Incredibly family- friendly. Cheers and besty of luck!

A.

Awesome place.. guranteed catch with reasonable price options.. 🤩🤩

A.

We were recommended this place by friends who recently went with their kids. A fantastic experience! The kids enjoyed the fishing (so did the adults). The sandpit was awesome entertainment for the kids while we sat in the beanbags with our drinks ... eating freshly smoked salmon. Even the baby enjoyed playing on the grass. Very relaxing. Thank you!

G.

Hi guys. I called in there in Jan 2021. I found the young falla renting the rods and explaining to the customers how to bait and so on was just amazing. The entire experience was awesome. They were so busy and had trouble keeping up with the hot smoking but the end result was just awesome. Thank you. I can only do trout fishing in the north and salmon are just way way nicer.

G.

This place is such an awesome little spot tucked away off the main highway between Wanaka and Hawea. Woodfired Pizzas, big beer and wine selection, and while you wait for your pizza rent a rod, and catch a salmon! Whatever you catch, the restaurant will prepare your fish anyway you'd like. You can eat it fresh there, or have it filleted and vacuum packed to take with you later.

C.

Totally worth the visit, kids all caught their first fish and we enjoyed a beer!!

R.

One of the highlights of our trip to the south island. The grounds are just incredible to walk around hut even better is getting to fish for just $5 a rod. It took us no time to catch a decent size salmon and we were met with great service by Ben who cleaned our fish and hit smoked it for us to eat fresh. Great experience worth the visit.

P.

One of my absolute favourite places, casual and laid back atmosphere, great for all ages, can't be beaten on a beautiful Central Otago day espeially when they have a band playing! Friendly welcoming staff, recommend it highly.

P.

Had a great time here! Friendly people, beautiful lake, great preparation of the salmon. If you don't catch one, they'll help you out by testing different bait or creating a feeding frenzy at your bait. Had my salmon hot-smoked as suggested by the waitress, was definitely not disappointed! Picture shows a 1,9 kg salmon, filleted and hot-smoked (asked it without dill, not a fan of that, was no problem at all). Get some chips on the side, they're good stuff.

R.

Friendly staff who showed us the basics. Nice little dog who we assume was part of the place. Good price per kg for the salmon. Sandpit for those of you with kids next to the eating tables. A warning for those of you who may be squeamish, you do need to kill the fish you catch rather than let it suffocate.

T.

What a great idea fishing for your own meal. We struggled for a start but with a bit of help from staff and a bit of extra fish food my wife hooked a 3.5 kg salmon. Time was an issue when ordering your food( not only us but the table next to us as well) Your salmon is filleted and cooked in one kitchen and your side dishes cooked in another kitchen. We got our sides about 15 minutes before our salmon arrived and by that time the sides were either eaten or cold. Great fun and lovely salmon but be prepared to pay for what you catch.

J.

Hook offers the unique experience of catching your own food, which is then prepared for you and served along with some nice snacks and drinks. The fishing is super easy and you get to enjoy the freshest fish you'll ever taste.

P.

Great place to take the children friendly staff only thing is a young boy weighing the fish, I caught 3 fish biggest being 2.2kgs 180 dollars little bit pricey I thought, good day out

C.

Wonderful experience to intro the boy to "fishing". Having the Salmon cooked right after was a bonus too!

S.

We loved it & enjoyed the outcome with all our catch..🐟🐟🐟

J.

Amazing food, great place for the family!

M.

We had an awesome time! Great for families!

A.

Had a brilliant day at Hook Wanaka. Despite only renting the rod, John gave me a short, very helpful refresher. Caught a 1kg salmon within 20 mins (after a monster snapped my line on the first cast) which the staff very helpfully gutted for me. Everyone was super friendly here and it's a great place to hang out even if you're not fishing. Can't recommend highly enough.

N.

Great fun catching our 1.874kg salmon!! The fish bait they gave us initially wasn’t very interesting to the fish but towards the end of the day one of the staff gave us a different bait that was much more successful! The staff member helped me work out the technique of fishing which helped a lot. Highly recommend ordering you fish made as sashimi. The hot smoked was also very tasty! (We got half half). Great experience and would return! One fish would feed 3-4 people easily so great group/family activity They also have mini golf if that interests you.

L. D.

When driving back from Lake Wanaka to Queenstown we saw a sign for Hook. Not knowing what it was, my family and I drove to it. I can tell you honestly that this dinner experience was the highlight of our two week trip to Australia and New Zealand. At Hook, we fished for over an hour with the help of their incredible nice staff. We were struggling at first but the owners came over and guided us. We were hysterically laughing by the end. After catching two fish we chose to have one cooked and one made into sashimi. While we were waiting for our salmon we had many appetizers and drinks. We sat outside and watched others fish and even saw a rainbow! I have already recommend this place to people and I will continue to do so. I cannot recommend it enough!!

P.

What an amazing experience! The views and food was outstanding, staff were friendly, attentive and we can't wait to come back soon. Thank you!!

A.

My son went there with grandpa and my husband, he was so excited about fishing and got 2 trouts by himself, and the catch then freshly prepared as sashimi and hot smoked trout on plates. There are many options, you can take a fishing course, pay your catch like we did, or just fees the fish and enjoy the day. The chef is superb, like 5 star superb! Other staffs were kind and helpfull too. If you love fishing, or sashimi, or trouts and salmon or all, you really should try this place.

J. B.

A spontaneous stop but one of the best things we have done. Spent a couple of hours casting and then got help from John - who was amazing. The kids each caught a salmon and the staff have filleted it and vacuum sealed it for us. The grounds are beautiful and we really enjoyed a drink in the late afternoon while the kids enjoyed the fishing. Can not recommend it enough - a must do if you are near Wanaka.

A.

Great experience and great stuff. we got 5 fishes there.

P.

What a cool experience. The staff was very nice and helpful, especially John. Took only about 30 minutes from catch until a delicious meal was in front of us. Great for kids too. Had to pry my 2 year old from the sand pit when getting ready to leave. Highly recommend.

J.

Great place to catch your own Salmon, get it cooked and eat it. Great concept where you get the public to do all the work, love it.

L.

Great setup for takeaway food during covid lockdown. Really good pizza Not sure I needed the free fries

I.

Very delicious plate of salmon 5 ways ( shared with partner). You can also fish there for salmon and have your fresh catch gillette's for you . We only went for lunch, bit saw other happy customers with fresh fish.

A.

Had an excellent experience there! Food was delicious and the 2.228kg salmon I caugh was one of the best I had. Only sad point was how fast I caught it! ^^ Also I am not taking that into account in this notation, but it would be appreciate if the teenager working there would have actually let me enjoy my salmon instead of jumping on me to show me how to kill it. I've been fishing for the last 20 years and it was my first time catching a salmon! Let me enjoy man^^

B.

Great experience catch your fish and eat it.luckily we practiced first lol as when we moved to top end of lake we caught our salmon in the first cast. 1.2kg and 840g.

N.

What an AMAZING experience! My wife and I both caught a beautiful salmon each within minutes then sat down and was served our catch sashimi'd and hot smoked washed down with a lovely glass of Rose', what more could you ask for? An absolute MUST DO! Fun for all the family!! Can't wait to come back!!

A.

Try the food, fishing and golf. Amazing activities to do for family outing in a spectacular location.

R.

The best salmon meal I’ve ever eaten!! Went for a Sunday lunch whilst travelling from Sydney on advice from our air b&b host and it did not disappoint! Had so much fun catching my own whopping great 2.5kg salmon and then enjoyed it as delicious hot smoked salmon lunch - there was so much fish I had to get half of it to take home! Thank goodness our accommodation had a small fridge for us to store it - made a delicious meal the next day too!

W.

Amazingly stunning fishing lakes in Albert Town near Wanaka. They give you rods to fish in serene lakes filled with Chinook salmon. They will prepare your catch and you can have the freshest fish ever. Great restaurant and lovely just to walk around.

C.

Amazing experience! Well worth the trip, time and money. Great food and menu. 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know!

A.

Awesome place to take family and friends. Great setting and atmosphere. Food excellent.Our 8 year old caught a 2.1kg Salmon! Fantastic all round experience! Many thanks

Z.

Very very good fun place, we had great fun on fishing, if you can't catch anything, their guy will come help you and give you some hint. No ne will go home with empty hand. After youcatch, they will cook for you, either sashimi or smoke, the service is great and friendly

L.

After a few weeks of dodgy meals out, Hook restored my faith in NZ food. We only stopped quickly for takeaway sashimi and a coffee- both of which were absolutely delicious. The salmon was so good it converted my sashimi-skeptic partner. We'll be back on our next trip through Wanaka to sample more of the menu and try our hand at salmon fishing.

S.

The whole experience was amazing and my wife caught her first fish.

A.

What a fun way to get a good meal . We hooked 2 salmon after about 1 hour. $40 a kg. Salmon was quite small cost about $130. Fed 11 of us . Could have done with crackers woth that. For 1 smoked the other raw. Wow just amazing.

J.

Hook Wanaka is a lot of fun! $5 gets you a rod and bait and salmon food and the lake is right in front of you. For an additional fee you can get a guided fishing lesson and a chance to fish in the pond with bigger fish. The size of the fish you can catch varies - we caught some little 1.5kg and a bigger 2.5kg fish although they go bigger in the general pond. You pay for what you catch $28/kg. Gutting and fileting are free and hot/smoking is for a fee. The restaurant food is delicious and very reasonably priced. We had the Foccacino - foccacia with cold smoked salmon and salads - $21 and yummy. Everyone was helpful and it really was fun (expensive if you decide to catch a load of salmon) but still cheaper and more exciting than getting your salmon from a supermarket. Great experience!

J.

I had a great time at Hook catching my own salmon and having it beautifully prepared and infront of me 15mins later. Freshest salmon i've ever eaten. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I would definatly recommend going visiting Hook if your in the Wanaka area. Just keep in mind if you catch your own fish you'll probably be eating it for a couple of day afterwards as well.

K.

Great fun, great food, great service. We caught our own fish and had half hot smoked worth the other half as sashimi. Fabulous! Fries, polenta and salad added to the culinary experience. 100% recommended.

T.

This place has to be one of the best tourist attractions in Wanaka! Our family of 5 had so much fun catching our salmon, eating it for lunch, then going for a walk in the beautiful setting. Such a well thought out and executed attraction. Highly recommend!

V.

What an incredible experience. When we first started, we were a litle wary of all of the various options and pricing per kg etc. However, rest assured, I think this is grea value and an incerdible experience.

N.

I had a great afternoon and dinner at Hook today. Lots of fish in the lakes and helpful friendly staff. They cooked the salmon which was beautifully cooked and presented. I would whole heartedly recommend the experience. Well done!

G.

Excellent service and catching your own salmon is worth the trip down for any and everyone! Beautiful view awaits you while you dine. Definitely not to be missed for anyone visiting Wanaka!

S.

Lovely food, relaxed atmosphere 😎 affordable to.

K.

Awesome experience. Caught a salmon, they fillet and cook it. A lovely spot for a drink with your food

A. R.

A beautiful little spot. Astounding vistas, salmon, and a lovely glass of wine 🍷 while your fish is smoked ❤️

B. L.

It costs only NZD5 to rent one rod and some bait to try fishing. You pay for any fish you catch. We actually went twice, didn't catch any on the first time so came back the next day and tried again. Ended up catching three fish with the assistance of the very friendly and helpful staff, John, who taught us what to do and even let us use different types of lures. Three fish was way too much for the three of us to eat, though, so consider only catching only one if you are a small group, or trying to fish and then ordering food from their kitchen. The hot smoked salmon was our favourite way to cook it (even better than sashimi). You can also get it filleted and vacuum packed or cooked for takeaway. Total cost for about 3.5kg of salmon + cooking + takeaway was about NZD286 (don't remember the exact cost but the salmon prices are by market rate per kilo). Overall it was decent for the experience, but it was really way too much salmon that we could not finish it.

D.

Took us 3hours for one fish but it felt so good when you catch one. Thank you John for keep coming back to check on us! Tip: Fish on the left side of the lake! That's where everyone got their fish. 😄

R. T.

Had a very enjoyable time at Hook. In my case you actually have to work abit for a salmon which adds to the fun 😁 (I "hook"'d up in about 45mins). However, it is pricey. My 2.8kg salmon ended up costing us $140 prepared hot smoked and as sashimi. Highly recommended as a treat when in the area.

F.

Great. Got a fish very fast, plus the staff were very kind. Very recommended! (Amended after reply)

K.

New experience...we caught a salmon and they cleaned and cooked for us.

D.

Awesome idea, must do!. Staff were super helpful and had a blast fishing. 11/10 will definitely do next time i'm in Wanaka.

K.

These guys are awesome. So helpful, great service, amazing spot, super friendly and guarantee a fish. Could not ask for more

T.

Amazing place to eat (best pizza I've had to date) Your children will love the lakes, and feeding the fish. Fishing rods are also available for rent, to catch your own fish.

C.

Relax and go fishing or just sit back and have a couple of drinks. Awesome food on the menu as well. Top place

G.

Unique combination of catching your own fish from crystal clear water, having it immediately prepared on site, and eating it with other snacks and a beer. Grandsons loved it (except the beer!)

A. M.

Nice and friendly. Must be a cool experience to fish your own fish and get it smoked on spot. The wine selection is good, and prices are ok. A must visit in the area.

j.

Fantastic experience and meal. Staff were amazing as well. Will definitely be recommending this to friends. Well done Hook Wanaka

J.

Gorgeous sunny day, live music, good wine and beers, al fresco dining including a delicious salmon we caught just previously on site. Superb

J.

We picked the perfect day they needed salmon for a wedding the next day. So we happily obliged Great fun awesome food and staff highly recommend

u.

I'm new to fishing, so the staff was very helpful in guiding me and making sure that I had a catch. I had the fish in sashimi and the rest fillet for vacuum packed. Great experience.

A.

Great location for fun. Fishing is there for anyone who wants to catch a salmon and have cleaned and prepared for them. Great value.

M.

Food is good. Great atmosphere.

P.

Amazing - loved every minute....our kids range from 9 to 13 and everyone had a blast...three fish and the kids experienced where real food comes from...the meter deep sandpit was a hit for even our eldest as they buried each other, while we enjoyed the atmosphere....awesome and so easy...

B.

Our excitement The beer the salmon and the fish says it all 🔥👌

P.

Loved it, caught a 2.2kg salmon, had it hot smoked and vacuum sealed to take home. My son had loads of fun catching it.

R.

Wow - amazing spot - good fishing! Friendly staff and value for money experience! Just don't catch too much!

H.

Great place, and fantastic concept. Worth mentioning as well that the staff collectively were extremely helpful and enthusiastic, a real stand out compared to other experience we had in the area while on holiday.l

K.

Staff very friendly. I easily helped my nieces catch two 1.2 kg salmon within 30 minutes.

J.

Incredibly relaxed afternoon in the sun! We caught a salmon and they cooked it to utter perfection!! So beautiful and lovely staff!

V.

Awesome setup nice and relaxed. Kids loved it and great having fresh fish that I didn't have to filet and prep straight to plate.

J.

Amazing! Best salmon ever tasted. So fun and easy to catch it ourselves also. Thanks so much! Will definitely recommend to friends and come again.

L.

What an exciting venture, already a great vibe, I am loving the concept. I am with this all the way, as I am excited to experience all of the various things on offer here. It is easily going to become my new go to place. I recommend this place to both tourists and locals - Jane

I.

Just the best .. watched little people catch FISH from the ponds .. Enjoyed the best sea food chowder.. Beautiful gardens and setting .. Would recommend to any age .. Will be telling all our family and friends about this wonderful place... keep up with the the great work Ian & Ellen Weston

T. F. D.

Group of 8 today, caught two lovely salmon and tried for a hole in one, everything about the experience was very relaxed and enjoyable, staff helpful and the sashimi and hot smoked salmon delicious, all in a well thought out natural setting.....wish you well at Hook, we will be sending friends!

D.

Great operation - very friendly and inviting staff, fantastic family friendly set out lakes and you get to eat your catch within minutes of capture, cooked or smoked to your liking! How good is that.

What a wonderful experience - amazing food as usual and the extra care in making sure our boy had a great time fishing was very appreciated :) Thank you for making his week!

W.

Great family fun, wife caught a 1.5 kg salmon!

D.

An amazing place. Great for families or just chilling out. Do some fishing or whack a golf ball. The staff are so professional. I would recommend this to anyone

A.

We stumbled across this by chance, and a recommendation from a local. One of our absolute highlights from our trip to NZ - beautiful spot to stop for a few hours and enjoy the salmon experience and scenery

A.

Very good food, didn't have the need to catch my own but watched a lot caught easily. Great place for entertainment and a meal or coffee

E.

Went there for the hole in one. It was a lot of fun :) Superfiendly staff, very helpful. The fishing experience is going to be the next thing I'll do there :)

J.

Great facility. Unfortunatly was not what i was expecting. You cannot catch and release...which makes for a reasonably expensive lunch. Looked like most were easily catching fish

S.

Fun place. Food was very good but extremely small portions. We had to order extra and we're not big eaters. Service average.

H.

Best Salmon ever. Best restaurant and food in NZ. Must visit.
