Café Takahe has a reputation with the locals for serving fresh, delicious and satisfying food. You will inhale the irresistible smell of warm baking and rich aroma of coffee when you first walk into this cosy café. Tasty light meals are tantalisingly affordable and are offered throughout the day.

Also due to high demand, Pukaha Mount Bruce is now opening its doors in the evening for people to experience the magic of this place when it is most alive with the sounds of the forest. Imagine dining to the background sounds of kaka booming in the night; kiwi calling to each other and kokako projecting their mournful call across the evening air.
