Delicious homemade food is available 364 days of the year at Café Takahe.

The café is perched overlooking the forest canopy where our resident takahe wander freely - there is no cafe view like it anywhere in the world!

A full range of cabinet items - tasty savouries, exquisite sandwiches and wraps, heavenly homemade baking - all made on the premises will no doubt tempt you for morning or afternoon tea or a light lunch.

We serve piping hot Arrosta coffee for your enjoyment.

We also have a full blackboard menu of cooked specials and delicious daily salads.

Our friendly staff are on-site preparing and serving - so all the items are as fresh as can be. We cater for group tours and coach parties too.

Café Takahe is simply the best café  on State Hightway 2 between Masterton and the Hawkes Bay. Drop in and see us.
