Perky's Floating Bar and Panners, 2026 sponsors

Thank you Perky’s Floating Bar and Panners Bar & Kitchen

A huge thank you to Perky’s Floating Bar and Panners Bar & Kitchen for backing the HPA Coronet Peak Hill Climb again this year.

Perky’s Floating Bar is New Zealand’s only floating bar, moored on Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown Bay. It has great drinks, good vibes and unbeatable lake and mountain views, and it’s the perfect wind-down after a day on the hill.

Panners Bar & Kitchen serves local beers, wines and great food in the Kawarau Gorge, beside the Goldfields Mining Centre just outside Cromwell. It opened in 2022.

Both are run by Max “Mad Max” Perkins, who’s racing his BMW 135i at this year’s event. Look out for his Heroes of the Hill profile on our Facebook and Instagram.
