Food Scene

Lovely daytime cafe with yummy breakfast/lunch spreads and good coffee. Retro indoor seating and an outdoor area under mature trees. Friendly staff. Highly recommend their Lamb Shoulder Tortillas.

Small restaurant that packs a punch. Amazing, flavourful dishes - the Confit leg of Cambridge Duck & Strip loin of Wharekauhau Lamb is scrumptious. You won't regret spending money here :)

Size does not matter in this case. It's a hole-in-the-wall coffee place and it's all they serve but it's consistently the best coffee in town.

Quaint little local's cafe packed with lots of delicious cabinet food, cooked breakfast choices and great coffee! Inside/outside seating, stacks of magazines & an easy stroll to the lakefront.

Sightseeing

One-of-a-kind, natural hot thermal pools surrounded by beautiful native trees. No under-14s allowed so it's an exclusive adult-only experience. Best one in Taupo in our humble opinion!

Drinks & Nightlife

Popular bar - always busy with good reason! Great local beer selection on tap, reasonably-priced quality food & lake views to boot. Worth booking a table in advance otherwise just stop by for a pint.

Everything Else

Best pies in town! Winner of lots of pie awards, so if you're after the quintessential kiwi pie, this is it :) They have another shop on Spa road too if you're already in town.
