Windermere Farms Cafe - Whanganui

We bought amazing fresh strawberries! They had seconds available when we were there, but they were going out the door fast! Sadly there was no gluten free food in the cabinet, but the strawberries made up for it. Great coffee blueberry smoothie. Plenty of parking. You can sit inside or out. If outside there was a choice of sitting in the sun or in the shade under the extended shop roof. Wheelchair accessible. Pet llama to look at. Friendly staff. Great views of the hydroponic strawberry operation in the tunnel houses

We went out bang on 9am on Boxing day, the cafe was already busy but no line or waiting. The pancakes were amazing, fluffy, light, and tasty, they were cooked perfectly, and the drinks were more than expected. Tea was very fresh and full of flavour, the coffee was superb (better than some places in Wellington) and the milkshake/smoothie was finished with gusto. Great service, awesome food and we picked some strawberries after our meal. SO YUMMY and such a treat to be able to go and PYO. It was very pleasant wandering the rows picking the ones we wanted. Friendly staff even in the heat. The place got busy very quickly and packed but thankfully we were on our way out. We intend to go back again soon for both fresh berries and a lovely breakfast.

The sweetest strawberries I’ve ever had! You can do the strawberry picking for $10/bucket and bring it home, not to mention that you can eat as many as you want while you’re picking it. Very nice quick service and helpful staff. Tried the mixed berries ice cream and in love with it! It was so good. There was alpacas and animals as well. Bought the strawberry dessert wine as well

The strawberries were really fresh and tasty. The staff was so nice. We had tasty huge cone ice creams. My daughter loved the alpacs too.

The best real fruit ice cream we ever tasted! The strawberries were so fresh and tasty. The alpacas were so friendly as well. The service could have been better though
