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.

You are seriously missing out if you haven't been to this stunning gelato place right before Matakana. The front-of-house staff are always so kind and friendly, even on busy weekends, they seem to find the time to have a small conversation with you! The sweet...and salty gelato is to die for and the Stracciatella is delicious. It's a nice little trip to grab a treat and never have I been disappointed. Overall, please go to Charlie's Gelato, it is not to be missed!More

We stopped in for gelato on the way back from matakana. So many favours to choose from. The staff are so patient because we all took so long too choose. Recommend for everyone to stop buy for an ice cream treat. Just up sharp rd...from the main road and heaps of parking at the back.More

Delicious ice cream with so many options. We also got the pizza which was great. I would recommend going early for oizza as they were so good they were sold out by 5.30pm! It was so good we went twice!

This is becoming a pilgrimage of our trips north from Auckland. These guys know how to think of the details. This weekend as well as our usual icecream stop they were giving away grapes from their back yard.

This was such a nice discovery going back from Warkworth to Auckland. Come here for amazing pizza and even better gelato!!! Like: 1. A laid back, charming restaurant with a chill out vibe .. some seating in the front and back and what looked like...either a grapevine garden or berry garden in the back where people could layout a mat to enjoy pizza, coffee and some gelato. 2. What greets you as you enter is the gelato counter and this place has good gelato where you can share 4 scoops in different flavors in a small but decent sized sharing bowl for only $9.90. Lots of interesting flavors and from the awards on the wall, it looks like they’ve won awards for their strawberry and liquorice flavours. 3. Love the pizza oven at the back. It looks almost like a makeshift booth but it has a proper stone oven where they make large 24 inch thin crust (my fav) pizzas to share - love their caramalised onion pizzas that start from about $22. 4. Good coffee and help yourself to the bottles of water lying around. Great stopover and will definitely revisit next time we are in the area.More

We went there as a group of families with kids to try their gelato and found out about the wood fired pizza as well and tried that as well. Pizza was not as good as we thought it would be but gelato and other frozen...desserts were nice. We liked different flavors. Kids enjoyed eating dessert sitting under the tree. We bought a few other treats from the store for later.More

Lots of flavours to choose from - we loved the peanut butter and apple crumble flavours. The teenager didn’t love the strawberry gelato but only because it has actual strawberry pieces in it! The single serves are generous. Coffee was good too
