This was my first fish and chips experience, but I’ve loved blue cod since being in NZ and I thought the blue cod fish and chips was amazing. I honestly couldn’t believe how good it was. Don’t know if that’s because I’m new to the dish or not, but I thought theirs was so good! Still thinking about it.
Can only comment on the coffee as that's all we had. It was a necessary break stop on the way back to Christchurch Airport & have to say the flat white was surprisingly good for a self serve road stop eatery. After coffee we enjoyed browsing the adjoining gift shop. Great choice for a rest stop.
Good to see they had some non-cow pies. I was really hungry and craving a pie so I coughed up $9 for a chicken and mushroom pie. For that price, the most expensive hot pie I have ever purchased, and I would expect it to be the greatest pie I have ever eaten, even better than the $6.50 amazing Fairlie pie I had the prior day. But it didn’t compare in terms of taste and texture, and the bottom wasn’t crispy. Would have been more appropriate if the price was under $6.50.
The inside cafe open by very lovely Chinese couples, very tasty food and coffee
Stopped by for lunch and found the space in doors to be open and spacious. Lunch was a mix of cabinet food with a limited menu selection. The retail area is good with a great selection.
Worthwhile stopping to have a look.
Wonderful shop to browse and buy some gifts and thing for yourself. I thought the prices were reasonable. There is a cafe here where you can get yummy things to eat. I thought I had taken more pictures here to show off the shop. Bargin prices on t-shirts from kids through to adults.
Had the all day breakfast and it was lovely!
We went to this cafe on our way to Queenstown. The carrot cake is very delicious, the pie is so yummy and big, what's most amazing is the coffee is definitely the best coffee I have ever had. The staff is very nice and friendly. So we came back again to have the lunch there on our way back home. We loved it. So satisfied. 😁😁😁
Fantastic coffee , nice food . Friendly staff.
A small place for a quick stop throughout your journey. They offer food, drinks and coffee, as well as a large selection of souvenirs and wool garments.
We stopped to buy coffee and that was the best choice. The coffee was amazing.
Ate lunch at the Merino Country Cafe. The hand made pies and expresso coffes were great. Bought some touristy tshirts cheap. They also have a waterfall and pond, viwed from the inside of the cafe. Minutes away from the airfield which hosts world class gliding events at Glide Oramama. Three minutes away. Right turn to get back on the highway, take the first road on the right (Airport Road )
Good Customer Service, more choice of selecting gifts
Had the Salmon Benedict and was amazed by the presentation and amount. Great value for money. Friendly and welcoming staff at a busy time.
Stopped for a coffee and cake. Service was excellent and so was the coffee and freshly made scone. Recommend a stop if you are driving by and need a break.
