The Vaults - Private Dining in Dunedin

Selected as the top foodie destination in Dunedin by Better Homes & Gardens Australia
The original vaults of Dunedin's former Chief Post Office (1937 - 1994), now the Distinction Dunedin Hotel have been converted into private dining rooms. Setting the scene for intimate dining and special occasions that require a unique touch of timeless elegance and nostalgia.

Located in Dunedin's revitalised and trendy Warehouse Precinct, tucked away behind the hotel lobby, the historic Princes Street vaults are accessed through their original steel doors, whisking diners back to the 1930's era with an aura of sophisticated speakeasy.

Our four uniquely designed vaults have the capacity to host from 2 to a maximum of 12 guests per vault. Outfitted with opulent interiors including glowing chandeliers and antique lamps, vast mirrors, luxe armchairs and couches set against a backdrop of dark, moody walls. The vaults have the ability to play music from curated playlists, are individually temperature controlled and offer complimentary unlimited WiFi.

The vaults can be exclusively hired and diners can enjoy delectable dishes from our 3 course set menu, crafted by our talented chefs. These set menus are subject to change, as our chefs are passionate about sourcing seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Click here to view an example of a Vaults set menu.

With a selection of fine NZ wines, craft beers, creative cocktails, liqueurs and barista made coffee, our experienced and charming waitstaff will make your private dining event a delicious and memorable affair.
