    The Honey Spinning Tour and Beeswax Wrap Making Experiences were fun, unique and educational! Nick's shop/cafe is a great place to spend the afternoon. This is a must see spot if you're on the South Island! We can't wait to come back! Thank you so much Nick!

    We stopped in on a tour bus from Queenstown, and after a quick intro to bees, we got to try some honeys from around NZ. Nick (3rd gen beekeeper!) convinced us to return the following day to spin and bottle honey. It was such a cool experience! He taught us all about human made bee hives (there is a length of measure known as "bee space" which is 3/8 of an inch), bee biology, and bee-made hive components. We then got to extract honey from frames by spinning, and then bottled our extracted honey! Since all foodstuffs need labels to leave the country, he took our pictures (with fun bee glasses and antennae headbands) to put on the labels. Honestly, I am so glad we stopped in to do this. Nick was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable as well as genuinely kind. Stop in and learn about bees and honey and buy some!

    Wow. Such a sweet surprise. We stumbled upon this cafe as the tractor & signage listing "Honey & Coffee" were intriguing enough. What we found was delightful. Nick embraced our 2 year old, dressed him up in his bee suit and gave him a proper introduction to bees. If that wasn't enough, the shop was a blast to explore and the cafe was the perfect place for lunch.

    was staying in queenstown for the week and was craving brunch food. saw this place on maps and…read moredecided to check it out after seeing their instagram for their lakeside views! went on a tuesday early afternoon and it was still pretty crowded with about a half hour wait. was seated indoors but the view is still unbeatable! got the eggs benedict, chorizo scrambled egg, biscoff latte, and blueberry french toast! all was so delicious and the lox with the benedict was very fresh and the blueberry french toast came with cream filling and vanilla ice cream. overall, i would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a scenic view with excellent brunch!

    Brunch for 3 ppl, on a sunny Monday morning. Busy place. My daughter wisely made a reservation…read more Not a large place, indoor & outdoor seating. Outdoor seating, a partial view of the lake. Varied menu. Prices a little high. Service is okay at best. No acknowledgement by server. Eventually server arrived to take our coffee/juice orders. We ordered the entrees at the same time, just in case. Eggs Benny was a hit, Cilbir Eggs, basically poached eggs on ciabatta, was thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast Butty was just okay. Overall, Just an okay experience. Be advised of limited parking. Directions are sketchy, but patrons have to park in a pay parking lot, then have their parking validated by the server/hostess.

    Perfect start to my first trip here with a strong vanilla latte and a mocha. They have wonderful…read moreoutdoor seating and inside seating. We were seated fast and ordered 2 coffees and pancakes with a pastry. My biggest standout were the pancakes, I'm a simple guy who likes my pancakes and they were oh so fluffy, chewy, dense and honestly that filled me up surprisingly a lot because I wasn't expecting them to be so big. They put real cherries and cream on top. The serving sizes are definitely generous. I recommend them for their breakfast and coffee, especially for the central location, great view and seating areas.

    A friend recommended this place to me so on one of the mornings I got up to try it out. I came in…read morearound 7:30am and there were only a few other tables occupied. I ordered my go-to breakfast item, which is their Vudu Benedict ($30NZD), along with a cup of their Housemade Lemon Honey Ginger ($6). You order at their counter in the middle of the shop, and then they give you a number to take to your table. The tea came out pretty quickly, and the benedict followed maybe about 10 minutes after. The benedict was good, and while there was only 1 egg, the whole thing stuffed me for hours afterwards. The bread at the bottom was definitely the most filling part, and I was struggling to finish it all. They had a glass display with various bakery items, and they looked so good I was so tempted to get something even though I was stuffed from the benedict. If I ever come back to Queenstown I would definitely be coming back here to try some of those bakery items.

    Very rude staff. Good food, get ready to feel unimportant…read more Menu shows a fish option for dinner. Item did NOT indicate that it was breaded when other items clearly note "crumbed" or fried. Item arrived, deep fried and breaded. Okay - not the end of the world. Maybe it's my own mistake... here's where it gets nuts.... I told the waiter about the issue, said I don't mind even paying for the item because maybe my kids will eat it, but could I please order some grilled chicken instead. First, his response when I OFFERED TO PAY for an item that was ultimately their own miscommunication was "okay, good." Like, good, you SHOULD pay for this item. But then he proceeds to roll his eyes and get visibly upset that I asked to order (and pay for) an additional item that was grilled. I'm not a cheapskate, was even giving the benefit of the doubt that this could've been customer error (it wasn't, but let's just take ownership here, right?). But then to get visibly shamed by the waiter, not a single apology or helpful manner, just frustration and irritated behavior. So, I sent a note to them on instagram about the menu and the experience as I didn't want to just leave a review. They view the message, never reply or acknowledge. So, it tells me a lot about how they run their business. Funny thing is, we are there for breakfast and then came back for dinner. The food was good, but do NOT come here for service. We're easy going, not looking for a freebie, just wanted food AS LISTED on the menu. The waiter at one point came back and said "you know it's fried but still gluten free, right?" I acknowledged and said "yes, but it isn't about the gluten, I'm just not interested in fried fish." He became even more irritated because he felt I was being difficult by wanting to eat cleaner. That's WHY we wanted to eat here in the first place, because it IS SUPPOSED to be cleaner! Anyhow, I can see by recent reviews that this place is going downhill with the service. I get it, people can be difficult, but don't shame customers that are polite and trying to do the right thing. We've been in restaurant service before, I know it's tough; but also, level up and take responsibility and check the ego at the door. PS: Turkish Eggs with Brekkie were out of this world delicious.

    What a beautiful restaurant! They offer indoor and outdoor seating and both have great ambiance!…read moreThe service was friendly but a bit slow. Full disclosure they told me upfront that it would be about a 30min wait once my order was placed and it took about that much time. No biggie, we are on island time! I ordered coffee, chili egg toast with bacon and a side of fries. All were delicious but it was entirely too much food for one person. I could have done without the tasty fries. I would recommended you try this place but be patient or choose another spot if you're in a hurry. High recommend you give it a try!
