  • Good for groups
The Crafty Moa menu includes something for all appetites’, pub snacks, Sunday lunch, evening dining and a ‘Wee Moas’ children’s menu. Using the freshest locally sourced ingredients and New Zealand’s finest high country lamb, farmed venison and seafood, no appetite will go unrewarded at the Craft Moa.
Time has been taken to create a menu utilising fresh local produce, served with care and passion.
We have a small kitchen and small team. Preparing fresh food takes time. Relax, have another drink, and enjoy the atmosphere.

    We booked for my 77th birthday dinner on Saturday 7 Dec. at 6 pm. We arrived at Bealey Hotel only to find it closed due to the wildfire powercut. While we understand the fully valid reason for closure, we were very disappointed in the lack of communication as we were left without any option of celebrating the occasion or having a nice meal after a long walk along the Waimak River.
