Reviews
What’s better than having a crisp sauvignon blanc up in an awesome restaurant on the side of Mount Taranaki? Not a lot can beat the natural view of the beautiful native New Zealand bush and mountain, that’s why this is one of the best places to come and relax with a beer or wine and take in the view. On perfect days you can even see out to Mount Ruapehu in the central North Island!
Noted as the “highest café in Taranaki”, the Mountain Café is situated 1000 metres up Mt Taranaki, giving you a unique and surreal experience. They can provide mountaineers with picnics on their day trips while they are exploring the area and enjoying the scenic forests. They serve freshly baked cakes and muffins from their kitchen daily that would go perfect with a hot chocolate or coffee in the middle of winter. They also provide accommodation for people who want to stay on for a couple of days to fully achieve the mountain experience.
