The team at Cordis Auckland are gearing up for Christmas, offering festive dining options, shopping, and event spaces for friends and family to enjoy. With unique edition cocktails and high tea and opening a brand new Cordis Christmas Shop, the team is excited to celebrate Christmas with no Covid restrictions.
Festive Christmas Shop

Opening from 22 November, there will be something for everyone to enjoy – even for those most difficult to buy. The shop will be decked out with Christmas decor for the first time, filled with vouchers for accommodation packages, food and beverages, and spa, as well as the infamous Cody and Coco red panada plush toys and scented candles. With the option of purchasing online to ‘click and collect,’ Cordis also offer a gift-wrapping station for those wanting to experience the Christmas magic in-store.
Chandelier Lounge High Tea by TWG
Offering a selection of premium tea time treats, High Tea by Cordis with TWG is an exclusive opportunity to revel in festive décor and seasonal savoury and sweet nibbles. The spread of savoury delights is salivating, coupled with grapefruit, almond shavings, and sweet pea panna cotta with black garlic puree. With delicate sandwiches and fresh scones served with artisan jams and clotted cream, other savoury options include kingfish ceviche with green tomato, kiwi and seaweed and cured venison with pistachio.
The sweet treats begin with a Christmas Strawberry Garden tart layered with strawberry coulis. There’s an orange blossom mousse with tangelos marmalade and orange flourless cake on lemon sable, accompanied by vanilla Chantilly and fresh strawberry, chocolate and gingerbread spices finger with caramelised hazelnut and salted caramel chocolate cremeux, and a green tea éclair with caramelised pineapple and soy crisps.
