“Amazing place”

The Hide Cafe & Garden Bar
Ranked #2 of 3 Restaurants in Athol
Price range: $5 - $30
Description: The Hide is located in the small township of Athol, on the highway between Invercargill and Queenstown. Our historic stone building is one of the oldest commercial buildings in Southland. The site dates back to the 1870's when it is thought to have been used as a Saddlery for the passing Gold Rush traders. The Hide is now a thriving Cafe & Garden Bar where travellers and locals alike, stop by to make use of our lovely garden, drink from our fully stocked bar (or takeaway from our Bottle Store), taste our range of food and fabulous coffee, or pick up some essentials in our General Store for their onward journey.

First time stopping in Athol. Proved to be a good place for a quick lunch with friendly service. Small but sufficient cabinet and blackboard options.
