Food Scene

Definitely, try if you are looking for a special occasion dinner venue. Try to book ahead if looking for dinner. Even booking earlier in the day perhaps whilst walking around Queenstown Centre. Also great for a lazy lunch. Wine and cheese afternoon sat outside by the fire.

Looking for Italian​ food within two minutes walk of Distinctive Townhouse. A nice small bar area, friendly staff, locals, and great food! You can also order a take-home​ pizza, and whilst awaiting for your order try a glass of Pinot Noir wine at the bar! Why cook?
