About The Manure Room, in the operator's words
Ayrburn is Queenstown’s hottest food and wine neighbourhood. A reimagined historical farm, the Ayrburn sheds and buildings have been thoughtfully reimagined as bars, restaurants, event spaces, even an ice cream parlour! Here, you can savour a long lunch, sip a wine and soak in the stunning scenery with Coronet Peak to one side, and the Remarkables to the other. Start with coffee, end with cocktails and let your hair down in our slice of Queenstown paradise.
The Manure Room, complete with sloped roof and unforgettable artworks is where you can ‘Drink some wine, Talk some s**t’.
Choose from a wine flight perfectly paired with some delicious, shared plates to get your evening going or enjoy a glass in the sun watching the world go by, share a bottle with friends, or buy a case to ship home and share with the neighbours.
