Crystalbrook Kingsley and Reyka Vodka have officially brought back their unmissable dining experience to Newcastle this Winter – introducing the Kingsley Winter Lodge.

Newcastle’s first five-star hotel, Crystalbrook Kingsley, has transformed the Ms Mary Terrace into the ultimate winter playground from Saturday June 1 to Sunday September 1, 2024.

Three unique domes have popped up on the terrace of Ms Mary, styled to embody a cosy winter lodge, featuring timber accents, plush furnishings and soft ambient lighting. Overlooking Newcastle’s Wheeler Place, the domes provide the perfect backdrop for groups of friends to gather and mingle while enjoying  top-tier food and drink.

The domes are designed to cater for groups up to 14 people and the terrace comes complete with a communal fire pit and even falling snow!

Over a two-hour sitting, guests will feast on a winter warmer menu from the comfort of a contemporary chalet-inspired haven as the temperatures drop outside.

This year, there are two Winter Lodge packages to choose from: 

Winter Wonderland

- Shared cocktail on arrival
- A European-inspired share-style menu. Feast on a selection of winter warmers served across three courses
- A mini iced dessert cocktail to finish
- $99pp 

Chateau Kingsley

- Mulled cocktail on arrival
- An additional winter cocktail of your choice
- A European-inspired share-style menu. Feast on a selection of winter warmers served across three courses
- Swiss cheese fondue to share
- A mini iced cocktail to finish
- $135pp

Six handcrafted cocktails have been created for the Winter Lodge experience including the Reykjavik with Reyka Vodka, sparkling wine, and lemon; a Butterscotch Martini with Reyka Vodka, De Kuyper butterscotch schnapps, De Kuyper crème de café, and espresso; and the Puffin Collins with Reyka Vodka, elderflower, grapefruit, and soda water served in a carafe.

Be transported to a cosy Winter Wonderland in your very own Crystalbrook Kingsley Winter Lodge dome, and soak up the winter sun or star gaze by night as you enjoy European-inspired food and cocktails.
