Chatto Creek Tavern and Post Office

Chatto Creek Tavern is an ideal lunch stop on the Rail Trail, lie in the hammocks, talk to the Donkeys and enjoy lunch before taking on Tiger Hill.

Experience genuine southern hospitably at the Historic Chatto Creek Tavern Est. 1886. The Schist Stone and Mud walls 18inchs thick allow it to be cool in summer and warm in the winter.

We also cater for events, functions, weddings and much more.

The bar has an extensive collection of Antique Guns and historic artefacts. The shaded beer garden extends to the Rail Trail and to the smallest operating Post Office in New Zealand, spend time reading its interesting history and enjoying the old photos, imagine; being the Post Mistress in this small tin shed for 42 years without heating or running water.
