Our fully licensed café is located within our complex on the beachfront providing the perfect setting in which to enjoy great coffee and cuisine. Our extensive dining area is both inside and outside, the focus being to enjoy the natural open environment opposite the beach.
We are proud to offer New Zealand produce and wines and whenever possible, utilise regional suppliers. Our breakfast and lunch menus offer local seafood, great coffee and an fantastic selection of local wines.
Catering for groups and special events is available in our private function room with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and the Kaikoura Seaward Mountains. Contact us for personalised menus and buffet options.
