Sidekick is a honey-sweetened soda from Wānaka — real fruit, New Zealand multifloral honey (not mānuka), no cane sugar. Beyond the hometown café map, it also sits in a handful of premium destinations: pools, lakefront restaurants, airport, resort, and steakhouse rooms that guests already treat as a trip highlight.
This is not a ranking. It is named stockists only. Fridges move. Ask staff if you cannot see a can.
Queenstown valley
Onsen Hot Pools — cedar pools above the Shotover at Arthurs Point. Look for Sidekick with the drinks around the soak. Full stop: Where to drink Sidekick in Queenstown.
Airspresso — Queenstown Airport domestic departures. Clear security, then the drinks fridge. Fly-in fridge guide: Drinks at Queenstown Airport.
The Bathhouse — lakefront restaurant on Marine Parade (the 1911 Coronation Bathhouse — not the spa with a similar name). Ask with the meal or in the fridge.
SUNDAYS — wood-fired Frankton, Country Lane. Named on the Queenstown map with Airspresso and Onsen.
Wānaka and the lake
Edgewater — lakefront resort and restaurant on Sargood Drive. Slow-afternoon can after a swim or a walk. Hometown list: Where to drink Sidekick in Wānaka.
Lake Hāwea Station — high-country stay on the lake road. Guest fridge / venue stock when Sidekick is on offer — ask on property.
Tītītea — steakhouse in Wānaka. Restaurant serve, not a takeaway caravan. Ask with dinner.
Why these rooms matter
Guests already chose the place for the view, the soak, or the table. A honey soda in that fridge is the cold soft drink that is not post-mix cola and not another kombucha — fruit first, no stevia. Category: Honey soda in New Zealand.
