About & Description

Giving you updates on the Archway Cafe daily changes and events in Wharariki and about. Photos, recipes, songs, stuff for the body and the soul.

The Archway Cafe is ideally located on Wharariki Beach main carpark, just a 15mn walk away from the gorgeous Wharariki Beach, reknown for its rock, shaped by the sea as an archway. The ARCHWAY CAFE happily welcomes you during the summer season - 15th November until 1st week end of May- every day, from 9AM to 5PM. (Please note that the Cafe may close in case of storms or heavy rain). To insure procuring you the best coffee, we have chosen to use Tuatara Coffee beans, a not only organic and fairtrade coffee but also local, as it is roasted in Golden Bay. For More information on this beautiful coffee, visit website : http://www.tuataracoffee.co.nz/ Muffins and sweet treats are baked daily to satisfy your cravings; cold beverages, organic juices and ice creams are available to cool you down after a walk on the beach; fresh sandwiches, white bait patties and pies will get you going for the day, wether you are going back on the road or you just need that energy kick to go and explore the caves, surf on the dunes or go play with the seal pups. The Archway Cafe is not only about food and coffee. Sheltered from the wind by its beautiful, spiritful trees, the Archway is a place for relaxation and peace. While you enjoy your coffee, stroll around the trees to have a look at the crafts and photographs, let your kids play in the playground provided for them, have a nap in the hamac, lulled by the sound of the birds. If you want, come and share your experience with me. The area is a goldmine for all nature lovers and birdwatchers.

I am looking foward to seeing you in this piece of paradise. <3 Lea <3
