Just was passing Ngunguru back to Whangarei. Saw the cafe sign -was apprehensive and thought - probably very average. But anything but. Delicious Snapper- best probably I've had at cafe, chips were crisp, and a lovely salad. A complete meal and a clean little cafe....Young staff need a bit more training otherwise I wish this cafe well.More

The fish and chips last night 08 May 2020 were outstanding. Added to our first extended bubble get together immensely. Thanks Salt Air.Legend.

This café is really tucked away and its outlook isn't the greatest. Even so we were rather amazed by the number of people lined up for both sit-down and takeaway food and beverages. The menu comprised an extensive array of low to mid priced café...items such as burgers, pizzas, fish and chips, pies and the like. The pies in particular seem to enjoy a big reputation. Our party only had coffee and scones so we were not in a position to comment on food quality but if you're looking for a big hearty meal at a modest price and don't need too much finesse, the Salt Air Café might be your best bet in Ngungaru.More

Had two lovely meals at this cafe. Breakfast smashed avo delicious and an evening pizza. Nothing flash about the place, just good food with a smile. Would recommend and visit again.

Nice friendly and accommodating staff. Good selection on menu, for takeaway or dine in. Gluten free options including fish, chips and pizza. Also has some lovely local art works on display and for sale. Kids burger and chips was very generous size!

There are not a lot of dining options in Ngunguru (pronounced NUN-er-roo), but this is a good one. It has a large enough menu to handle a variety of preferences, including vegetarian. Don't be put off by the fact that it says "Fish & Chips"...- the menu has pizzas, sandwiches, breakfast food & salads. The staff is excellent, and it is co-located with a frozen yogurt trailer, allowing smoothies to be ordered from the cafe when the trailer is open. Coffee and beer also available. Family friendly, and we had no problem getting seating. Takeaway available.More

I enjoyed several morning teas and meal on this visit to Ngunguru. Always go back for the Seafood pies and great coffee, but also enjoyed the Scallop dinner.
