Rodd & Gunn - Tawa

A redefined retail experience.

To us, a retail store is more than just a place to buy products. Our customers visit Rodd & Gunn lodges to get lost in an experience. So, we want to make every single interaction with our customers authentic, and memorable. After all, a sense of Kiwi hospitality is ingrained in our brand’s DNA.

In 2016, we brought the world of fine dining and fine fashion together, when we launched our first lifestyle experience, The Lodge Bar, on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, in Queenstown, New Zealand. Inside our concept store, anything is possible - browse the latest collection one moment, then tuck into a delectable dish designed by The Lodge Bar Group’s Executive Chef, Matt Lambert, the next.

We’ve since opened a second experiential retail concept in Commercial Bay, New Zealand, which provides an elevated escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Auckland.

In 2021, we, in partnership with Myer, opened the world’s first experiential retail concession in the Australian market, The Lodge Bar, housed alongside the Road & Gunn concession at Myer Chadstone in Melbourne.

Our fourth venue and global flagship lifestyle destination, The Lodge Bar & Dining James St, Brisbane opened in May 2022. A fusion of luxury and style, our coveted venue offers a sense of elevated approachability across both hospitality and retail, melding fashion, food and wine to create an experience like no other. The Lodge Bar Group's Executive Chef Matt Lambert has followed the same ethos as our other restaurants by sourcing the finest local produce Australia has to offer, allowing the quality ingredients to shine. Cameron Douglas, The Lodge Bar Group's Master Sommelier and Group Beverage Manager, has curated an expansive wine list with New Zealand wines at the heart of it.
