Four of us ended up here after deciding not to spend money on the trip to Whitianga on a cold April day. Well then the sun came out and we looked around the arty pieces in the garden while we awaited our lunch orders. They...More

This is a delightful and art filled experience. Great location and perfect for a stop over lunch. Organic food, local beer, great menu choice and the best salad we have experienced in NZ. This was a memorable lunch in most beautiful location. Service was excellent,...More

Great little place, artworks throughout the gardens. Scallops with a lovely salad, chowder with homemade bread, bailey's cheese cake, fiejoa and apple taurt homemade ice cream all delicious friendy staff.

I'm writing this review for the benefit of travellers, who like myself, rely on reviews to choose sightseeing & restaurants. The best part of this ramshackle cafe/restaurant is the 'eccentric' art on its grounds. The restaurant itself is worn out, unkempt, dirty & fly infested....More
