Wellington over New Year - replacement for Martin Bosleys?

Thank you very much for the suggestions!
We've managed to get a dinner reservation at The White House & we're looking forward to trying it out.
Boulcott St Bistro is also open during the period but Citron and Logan Brown are also closed.
And the menu at Flying Burrito Brothers looks great. I hope we can fit them in during our stay.

Wineries and restaurants - Western Australia

I second the Cullen recommendation! We had a glorious lunch there a couple of years ago. Sardines and Scallops for entre, Marron on a quinoa salad for mains. Delicious! And accompanied by some great Cullen wines.

Wellington over New Year - replacement for Martin Bosleys?

This problem is worse than I originally thought... since this posting I've discovered that Matterhorn and Artbitrageur are also closed for the first few days in the new year (until Mon 5th).

Is this going to be a widespread problem for our trip?

Australia travel/eat suggestions

If you want something in Oz that isn't very "big city" then I would recommend Margaret River, Western Australia or Tasmania (perhaps pick a section of the island to concentrate on). We've been impressed with the food, wine and scenery in both spots!

Margaret River is an easy drive from Perth and there is plenty to see and do in the area.
For Tasmania, you could concentrate on the area around Launceston (which includes the Tamar valley), the east cost, or perhaps the area around Hobart?

Both states have good websites, for further info.
