Stopped in for a bite of lunch on our way from Maraetotara falls to Ocean Beach. Beautiful spot, and lovely food! Particularly enjoyed the veggie special pizza - it’s been hard to find veggie choices in Hawke’s Bay, and this was so delicious! Husband had the steak sandwich which he said was exceptional too. Will absolutely be back
