      Another lovely breakky spot NZ. The view was spectacular. Particularly impressed by the eggs Benedict with salmon (gluten free toast).

      Nice setting but I wish I didn't choose this place for breakfast and rather just had a coffee here. We missed the breakfast time apparently so for me vegetarian options were not so great.

      A beautiful spot with gorgeous, fresh food. Its right at the start of the lake walkway, with tons of parking. The outdoor dining area is lovely, although the sandflies are unbelievable in summer! Its very, very touristy so expect a very noisy meal punctuated with bus loads of people coming and going.

      Whilst the food and coffee here was amazing, it was rather over disappointingly over priced. Beautiful view and great walk to be done before or after enjoy food.
