An interesting place to visit. On arrival you will be tempted to visit the little Sweet Shop and make your selection from a hundred bottles of sweets and chocolate. Inside the main building we found an eclectic collection of crafts and sculptures from all over...More
We were lucky to get a table inside for lunch on a Friday for three, so if you have a bigger group, it would be worthwhile to call ahead to reserve a table. The desserts are to die for - we had the lemon pie...More
Great wee place to stop, have morning/afternoon tea, poke around the shop (very interesting but quite expensive items) and a quaint lolly shop.More
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are not a traditional gift shop, and many of our things are hand made from far flung places and of very good quality, so I guess the price does reflect this. With best wishes, Louise...More
Lunch again at Birdwoods was just wonderful. I love taking new people here as it is always a brilliant experience. The feta and leek tart was so yummy as was the 2 way pie my friend chose. The brownie we chose to share for dessert...More
How kind.... thank you. One of the hardest parts of running a hospitality business is keeping the standards up seven days a week, so it is good to know we are still delivering. I will pass this onto the staff. Best wishes, Louise Stobart -...More
Interesting place that combines a cafe (mushroom soup - best I have ever had) with a sculpture garden (even kids seem to enjoy this), a shop selling art and crafts, and an old fashioned sweet shop. This is a formula that works for all age...More
Thank you for your review and I shall certainly pass the mushroom soup comment onto our fantastic chef Wendy! It is not the first time we have heard this - it is seriously delicious. Kind regards, Louise Stobart - Owner

A chance recommendation found ourselves turning up to Birdwood's Gallery. We had hoped to secure a bowl of water for our black Labrador, Waka, but instead were invited by the very friendly staff to sit at a table of the the terrace in the beautiful...More
Thank you for the lovely review, and as you know we are very dog friendly, so am glad you called in and enjoyed all of what we have to offer. Kind regards, Louise Stobart - Owner
I discovered this place the night before today's visit. I ended up taking a cab from Taradale and it cost me a lot of money so I am really hoping that it is as wonderful as I read from reviews on Trip Advisor. From the...More
It was lovely to have you visit us - we too enjoyed having you and the obvious enjoyment you experienced whilst visiting us. We hope you get to come back one day when it is a bit warmer, as it was a very cold day...More
It is a really nice café to take people if they are visiting hawkes bay. Lovely gardens, sweet shop and gift shop. Very nice atmosphere.
Thank you for the review, we always enjoy locals bringing their visitors for a treat at Birdwoods. Kind regards, Louise Stobart - Owner
This place deserves its rating by TripAdvisor reviewers as the number 1 attraction in the Havelock North area. It has something for everyone in the family. We had a morning visit with tea, coffees and food and all were fine. Best of all was their...More
