The Vault

The Vault is a restaurant and bar set inside a heritage former bank on Goldie Street, the main strip through Wynyard. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating out the front, so it works as a sit-down dinner or a drink after a foreshore walk without leaving your dog behind.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables on the footpath frontage, not inside the heritage dining room. That puts you table-side with your dog on a short lead and a view over the town centre. There is no dedicated dog menu, so pack a portable water bowl; staff are generally happy to help with water on request.

Good to know. The draw here is the setting, a converted bank complete with a former vault repurposed as a talking point, paired with a full restaurant and bar menu. Reviewers consistently call out the river view, the pork belly and arancini, a solid cocktail and whisky list, and live music on some nights. It runs as a proper dinner venue rather than a quick coffee stop.

Getting there and parking. Goldie Street is Wynyard's main street, so it is an easy walk from most of the town centre. Free street parking sits directly out front and in the side streets, though the frontage spots fill on live-music nights.

Nearby with the dogs. Gutteridge Gardens along the Inglis River is a short walk for a leg-stretch before or after, and the East Wynyard foreshore gives you a longer coastal walk. Fossil Bluff, a few minutes' drive, is a scenic spot to finish the day.

Best as an evening booking, especially when there is live music on. Good for a longer sit-down meal where your dog can settle beside you outdoors.
