Hole In One Café — Restaurant in South Island

Have been a few times and the service and food have been going steadily downhill unfortunately. They reserved our table for the wrong time (12 instead of 11, as per confirmation email), struggled to find an appropriate table for us (despite there being plenty available), repeatedly messed up our orders, didn't provide certain things we ordered from the menu because they hadn't bothered to update the menu, and most of the food was very average - eggs benedict basically just eggs on toast, and the pork burger was lacking in flavour and made with pork that was unchewable (rind left on). Love the setting, but sadly won't...

A great place to stop whilst cycling the Countryside trail. No need to go off the trail! We had a late lunch and scored a table under the trees and in the shade. There are black umbrella's over the tables, but I preferred the cool natural shade. Great table service by Oliver. We chose the pasta of the day and the Akaroa salmon and salad.

The scenery of this cafe is amazing and the staff were nice enough however the value for money and quality of food was sub par. We ordered the winter salad (consisted of canned unflavoured chickpeas, spinach and grated apple - no flavour or presence of high quality ingredients considering the $28 price tag). We also got a beef burger and fries which were alright however came out cold. Considering it wasn't a busy day, I don't see the reasoning for such average food. Would not recommend if you are after a high quality lunch. Much better restaurants and cafes...
