Our Story

Mavericks Gastropub is one of Taupo’s newest eateries, situated in the modern development of Wharewaka on Lake Terrace, Taupo.


The gastropub and conference facility have drawn inspiration from an old world aviation theme, inside you’ll find a quirky vintage aviation-inspired interior, including a replica WWII US Navy spotter plane hanging from the ceiling! The restaurant is attentive, not snooty & diners can expect an extensive, eclectic, something-for-everyone menu – think steak, seafood, and Kiwiana classics.

‘Mavericks are visionaries, innovators and risk-takers who like to shake things up.’

So expect the unexpected at Mavericks Gastropub.
