Memories of an east coast getaway, or two.

The time has flown and in between these beautiful moments we have been getting ourselves ready to snuggle back into our happy place at the Mangawhai Estuary.

We are so looking forward to serving you again 🙌🍨☕️

Highlights of a west coast getaway.
Raglan, Waikaretu, Port Waikato.
Loved:
Our dog friendly accommodation, with a cute history including a creed!

Being in a new place with nothing to do but explore.

Water. Ocean, estuary, waterfalls, rivers, and little creeks. 💙

Yummy things. Lots of yummy things.

Tried these and loved them.
George's Beach Club -cheeseburgerpizza and everything else we tried
Raglan Botanicals Aromatherapy -so many things
Raglan Artisan Bread -sourdough
La La Land Chocolate Coffee and Waffles -hotchocolate
Raglan Roast -coffee & hot chocolate

What have you guys been up to?
Must be nearly time for a gelato!

Our winter break has arrived. Caravan is closed for August.

Maintenance was waiting.
Rest is calling.
Carpark is upgrading (thanks KDC).

But we are still churning gelato and if you get in touch we can make sure it finds its way into your (surprisingly warm for winter) hands.

Come down with your own container to fill with our last delicious scoops and we will give you a great deal!!
Limited flavours & quantities.
Caravan will be closed through August but we can be reached by phone for orders.

Specialty european (especially dutch) foods
Locally produced foods

Etc

We're back!

Unfortunately, due to ongoing issues with our original Kaiwaka Cheese Shop Facebook account that we haven't been able to resolve, we've had to create a new page.

We'd really appreciate your support by following this new account. Please unfollow and report the old account to help prevent any confusion.
Thank you so much for your continued support, we truly appreciate it! 🧀💚
