A lovely place for friends to meet and share a meal. The food was excellent and the service great…But, why are there no signs showing where the toilets are? Blokes do no like to ask for directions so it was rather amusing to watch the guys wandering around looking for the loo!

How anyone can criticise this place is beyond me.
The food is simply delightful and great value. The setting is incredible and so unexpected in a relatively small and out-of-the-way place.
But best of all is the staff and in particluar the chef, Jenny. Nothing is too much trouble and spevcial needs are catered for in a caring and careful way.
I just love the place. Long may it prosper.

The 4 of us had dinner 2 weeks ago and the meal was amazing.
My duck and Asian slaw entree was perfectly cooked and had the most delicious flavours. All our mains were equally well liked….plus their Head Chef Jen also makes probably the best Creme Brulee you’d ever taste.
Not a cheap eat but that’s not what this place is about – the excellent food, service and ambiance just made our night!
We will be back.

Went with friends to lunch at Bennetts Cafe recently. There was six of us and we were late – they stayed open a little longer for us which was perfect after the drive from Auckland.
We had a simple and perfect lunch, salads and things from the counter display together with a bottle of local rose. Service was very friendly and good, coupled with a smile it would have been perfect.
It was a sunny day so the girls went across the courtyard to get a homemade ice cream which is made we are told by Julie Buiso – a very fine NZ cook she is too.
The building itself feels like an Italian courtyard style village building – Thank you Mr and Mrs Bennett for investing and creating such a wonderful place for people to come and enjoy.

I have been to this cafe in this beautiful building several times. I have been continually disappointed, platters are overpriced and dreadfully sparse. The sandwiches have always been over toasted, cakes a bit on the dry side. One plus I can give it is that the coffee has always been good.
