Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I came here each morning of my 3 day stay for my coffee which was served perfect and hot each time. Unlike other cafes in Kaikoura it is not busy first thing, so venture past the lower main straight up onto the highway. Great range...of reasonsbly priced breakfast options and pizzas too. Bar in the evening. Friendly and hardworking manager. Highly revommendedMore

Fantastic service and gluten free options. Our two coeliac daughters loved the Aloha pizzas - so good to have a dining out option for them in Kaikoura 😊

Food was surprisingly good for a small little joint that didn’t seem much. We couldn’t order the rabbit pizza as they didn’t have supply but the kangaroo and the masala chicken were great !!!! I’ll recommend people to try some of their special pizza

There are a lot of great reviews for this place, but I'm afraid I can't add to them. We ordered two take-away pizzas (one DeLuxe and one Vegorama) and were told they would be ready in 45 minutes. In fact they took 55 minutes (and...the man waiting next to me had waited over an hour). On top of the wait, we were disappointed with the pizzas themselves. The crusts were soft, there was almost no sauce on the base, and while there was plenty of cheese, the toppings were very sparse compared to most of the pizzas I've eaten. There was also a brown sauce spread across the pizzas which to my taste didn't go with the other flavours at all. And they weren't really that large for the price. As other reviewers have noted however, the staff were friendly and helpful. But ultimately a pizza parlour has to be judged on its pizzas, and we were pretty disappointed.More

Delicious pizza, nice little restaurant and friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out if in the area as it's affordable prices too. Pizza is a big size so therefore very filling

We arrived in Kaikoura late and very hungry. The Black Rabbit was the only place open and was a god send. With delicious food and friendly staff it is a 10/10 reccomendation.
