“We were in Te Aroha visiting the hot pools and decided we wanted to go somewhere for lunch. I googled lunch stops, and this place popped up. It was such an amazing recommendation!! From the moment we arrived we were really impressed with the cafe/restaurant. The building itself is beautiful, and the dining area is so large and pretty. The tables are beautiful, solid wood, and the chairs are very comfy. We loved the atmosphere!! Straight away, the service was amazing. We were seated, served our drinks and and food within 20 minutes. They had a great kids menu with delicious options - the menu can be coloured on and has some fun activities too! Our meals were delicious - I highly recommend the chicken flat bread! I shared it with my mum, and it was a huge portion. The meal arrived fresh and hot, and the chicken was so tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. My husband ordered the steak sandwich and loved the flavors. We shared some deserts from the cabinet - and I can say the custard square was so yummy! Staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful! Would 1000% recommend coming here for lunch! It's a beautiful spot inside and outside.”

“Haven’t been for a while but popped in for lunch with a couple of colleagues. The service was great - wait staff were very attentive and pleasant (they actually smiled - you don’t always get that these days). The meals themselves exceeded my expectations, both in flavour and size. There was also no issue with a small meal alteration I had. And I had an almond hot chocolate (which can sometimes be a bit hit-or-miss depending where you go) but it was nice and hot, and absolutely delicious… 10/10”
