Stopped for lunch on the way to Kaka Point from Dunedin. My husband & I both had the beef burger with an egg on top. This is a roll up your sleeves lip smacking experience. Best hamburger we’ve had for months. Staff are really friendly....More

Lovely coffee

We stopped here for coffee on our way to Te Anau and were not disappointed. Had read reviews that the coffee was good, and it certainly lived up to it! The raspberry white chocolate muffins and cheese scones were scrumptious!

Thank Jeska88

Best guacamole ever

Called in here on a big road trip definitely a highlight. All the food was delicious but the guac on the nachos was the best we've ever tasted. Doesnt look much from the street but the food and the service are top notch!

Thank Craig W

The nachos are a new addition to the menu, glad it's a hit. Thank you and we will see you next time
