It's the perfect place for families, thanks to the playground and outdoor seating area.

I ordered the eggs Benedict, which came with two eggs and a small piece of kumara instead of bread. It was delicious, but I would have preferred two pieces of kumara and more mushrooms next time.

The food was decent, but I requested sourdough bread instead of potato rashers (which I don't usually enjoy, as they tend to be quite greasy) and the bread was quite good! The coffee (mocaccino) was a bit bitter, but I guess some people prefer it that way. Overall, it felt a bit pricey. I’d return anytime, but it’s not my favorite spot anymore.

Daytime service appears to be a bit slow and affected by lack of international staff at the moment, but if you've got the time for an excellent relaxing brunch, you'll love it!

A nice alternative to the bars casual restaurants in town. A little pricey in my opinion but hey, it’s wanaka the food may well be worth it
