We went to this beautiful place for dinner last night, little gift shop was amazing with little gifts . The hanging chair was my favourite to swing on and sit on! Excellent customer service with a friendly little cat hanging around! Anyways 10/10 experience. Thank you!

The best café on Aitutaki; we went there three times in our four days. Both breakfast and dinner have a good selection, freshly prepared food, and excellent quality. Their cocktails are extremely rich and not as watery as in many other restaurants.

But you can enjoy the fantastic food in a great atmosphere and a delightfully designed setting.

Everyone who served us was extremely friendly, welcoming, and flexible... many thanks to the team for making us feel so welcome!

Wonderful food and vibe.
The burgers were delicious. Had a lovely mock tail and the local beer was good.
Definitely worth a visit ☺️

This is a true hidden gem in Aitutaki. Up in the hills, the breeze is lovely and the cafe is nestled in a very peaceful spot. We ordered a seafood platter to share between the two of us and it was really yummy and plentiful for two adults. They brew their own beer which is tasty and fruity (I accidentally called it “the Rarotonga Beer” 😅 - my apologies once again!). The missus got a frozen margarita which was spot on. A nice touch was the classic pop/r&b playlist - the music was playing to a very enjoyable level, not too loud to have a chat but loud enough to make up a very nice and relaxing background. Highly recommended!
