A New Era Cafe — Restaurant in Kaikohe-Hokianga Community

We stopped in Rawene to go to The Boatshed Cafe which was unfortunately closed for a function on 9 April 2022. There were not many other options in Rawene for food, but we saw this cafe was open. It was 12.50pm so we were looking for lunch. We stood looking at the menu for about 5 minutes before we decided what we wanted and approached the counter. When we went to order we were told “the kitchen is closed for cleaning” we asked how long that might be for she replied “a while..” and then said “you can get cabinet food or coffee” but with not many options in the cabinet apart from some muffins we decided to leave and try our luck in Opononi.

Fabulous cafe on the Hokianga. Spacious place that is also an amazing art gallery with a lot of very nice art pieces on display. Live musician was playing some relaxing guitar.

Great selection of tea, freshly made pizzas, yummy burgers and veggie options. Staff were very friendly and food came quickly,...
