Located in the Capital Lodge
Motor Inn.

Nestled inside the Capital Lodge Motor Inn in Newlands, Wellington. Rocksalt Restaurant offers a casual, family-friendly dining experience with a warm Kiwi welcome. Our menu showcases New Zealand classics and specially crafted burgers, paired with indulgent desserts and a thoughtful selection of drinks – from local beers and ciders to fine wines, creative cocktails, spirits, and refreshing non-alcoholic options.

Proudly run by a team of young local entrepreneurs (Ayush, Sapna, and Denzell) – the team behind The Crooked Elm. Rocksalt was created to bring a welcoming, community-focused family restaurant to Newlands. It’s a place where friends and family can come together to enjoy hearty meals, share memorable moments, and feel right at home.
