It’s going to be a wet week, and even though we’re tucked away in the botanical garden, we hope you’ll still brave the weather and come visit us.

We promise we’ll make the trip worthwhile and with the heat pumps on from the moment we open, you’ll be warm and cosy when you arrive!

Open 8am - 3pm everyday ❤️

We’ve decided to slightly reduce our hours while we get through the colder months. It won’t be forever—we’re hoping to expand our hours again once the warmer weather arrives!

In the meantime, swing by on a cold, sunny, rainy or snowy day and enjoy a good meal before the kitchen closes at 2.30pm every day. We serve cabinet food until we close at 3.00pm 😉

We’re closed today and tomorrow, while we’re doing some renovations, but tomorrow our kiosk window will be open with a limited food and drinks menu and outdoor seating 🙂

On the menu: Schnitzel roll with lettuce, onion, gherkins and ranch dressing. Available until sold out, so get in quick! We’ll also have our pumpkin toastie and the kids ham and cheese available.

Pro tip: If the weather is bad, grab your takeaways and enjoy them in the heated greenhouse next to the café. Just remember to be a tidy Kiwi and take your rubbish with you and pop it in one of the many bins around the gardens.

See you tomorrow! ❤️
