Charlie’s Deli

4.9(112 reviews)

About

Charlie’s Deli, on South Island, occupies 75 Brownston Street in Wānaka 9305, a spot on the town's central grid. First-time visitors should expect a deli, with doors open Monday to Saturday from 08:30 to 15:00 and closed on Sunday. That schedule suits a morning or midday stop rather than an evening one.

The 4.9 out of 5 average across 112 reviews places Charlie’s Deli among the more consistently regarded addresses in the area, and the website at http://charliesdeli.co.nz/ carries the listing's own information. Wānaka sits inland from the bigger South Island centres, and the nearby places list runs from Queenstown and Te Anau through to Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim and Kaikoura. Reaching Wānaka from those towns means a drive rather than a short hop, so a visit tends to be planned around a day in the area.

Wānaka's position in the lower South Island keeps it within the wider touring loop that links the island's main towns. The deli's Brownston Street setting puts it in the middle of the town rather than on its edge.

Seasons on South Island run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the busiest travel window falls at the turn of the year. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names appear throughout the country. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture.
