Hi I’m Sarah 👋🏼

Born and bred on the Kapiti Coast, now bringing up my 3 boisterous boys here. Weekends are typically filled with kids sports and wrangling my naughty puppy. If I do have some down time, I love a sauna sesh, reading a good book, getting out for a bushwalk or having a vino with the girls.

I’m usually at the stables, if you spot me say hi! ☺️

Matariki is all about connection.

And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, our bucking delicious coffee has a way of bringing people together.

Here’s to warm cups, full tables and meaningful conversations.

Have a safe and wholesome Matariki weekend from the Dark Horse team ✨

Hey Coastie is the kind of place that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile.

You will find a relaxed beachside vibe, lush greenery, friendly staff, sprawling outdoor area including a boat, climbing wall and a kitted out kids playhouse.

It’s the kind of spot where parents can relax with a coffee while the little ones create their own adventures.
Whether you’re pulling in for a morning brew, a long lunch in the sunshine, rounding up the family or a catch-up with friends, this coastal gem has all the ingredients for a good time.

Bucking delicious coffee, varied food offering and cocktails that hit the spot. It’s easy to see why the locals keep coming back.

Say hi to our lovely Claire!!

A woman of many talents, risqué jokes and a huge asset to the Dark Horse team. Claire enjoys live music, good food, great company ideally accompanied by a gin.

I asked Claire about to give me a run down of her experience in the industry…
“I’m just an old school barista kid, slinging spros since the late 90’s (yes I’m that old)! Trainer, roaster, cafe owner, I’ve been lucky to have spent my career in various roles and I love sharing what I have learnt with others”
