Wow, what a gorgeous establishment. We were overnight guests and just loved the warmth and hospitality from Kate and her team the moment we walked in the door after a big day on our bikes. 3 course dinner was amazing as was breakfast and the coffee. Thankyou

If you feel like being treated like dirt perhaps this place is for you. Kate is unfriendly and downright rude. Has no idea how to serve customers or any concept of customer service. She yells and shouts at customers, clears plates away before people have had a chance to finish their meals. Yells at kids because they picked a small flower from her garden. I would not recommend this place at all. Rather go to the other friendly establishments on the street. I don’t understand how she has any good reviews when various friends and family have visited this cafe and received the same treatment. Word of advice kate- perhaps Employ some friendly staff to be the face of your cafe.

Superb coffee and delicious cinnamon scroll. Also loved the fresh flowers…camellias and winter roses on tables.

Spent Christmas night here while on the Alps to Ocean tour and it was as magical as Christmas can be! The meals were amazing, the accommodations beautiful, and the hostess charismatic. Scheming was to finance another trip to NZ just so I can stay here again!
