The name may not be inspiring but what is within Toad Hall was freshly made food and their own brewery offering refreshing suds. If you are making the drive from Nelson to Kaiteriteri or beyond, I would recommend stopping by this place for lunch or a bite. The patio seating outside is a mix of covered and uncovered areas. It’s very charming and relaxing atmosphere. There’s a friendly dog that roams the grounds to make sure everyone is having a great time. We got their self-proclaimed “world-famous in Mouteka” seafood chowder and the peperonata pasta to share. The seafood chowder did not disappoint as there was huge chunks of seafood swimming in the cream sauce. It was very good and lived up to the billing. The peperonata pasta was a really pleasant surprise with a very deep and rich tomato sauce that has been slowly simmered. It was very hearty but not heavy. There was a little bit of chatter in the air from locals and other tourists alike just taking in the afternoon. Overall, this was a lovely place to have lunch!

Amazing cafe/restaurant. We don’t normally visit the same place twice during a single trip but we made an exception for Toad hall. It has a good selection of local produce as you walk in, and further on there’s cabinet that boasts a tempting selection and fresh fruit ice cream. Around the corner are large number of indoor (heated) and outdoor seating available, not to mention a treehouse and play area for kids. They have a wonderfully, extensive and tasty menu for both food and drinks (tea, coffee, smoothie, fresh juices). They also boast a great selection of brews (alcoholic). Their toilet facilities are little huts situated behind the restaurant and are very clean and tidy.

We went here for breakfast while we were on our way back from Abel Tasman National park in New Zealand. The restaurant ambience is very peaceful and the decor is really nice. The seating is mostly indoor with some outside seating options. We ordered the Veggie Kahuna and is vegan option along with matcha tea for breakfast. The grilled halloumi in the breakfast was really tasty. I also liked the sauces that were provided as accompaniment. The hashbrowns were seasoned really well and their tractor was really great as well. In addition to the menu, they have packaged food ( mainly salads ) in the store front as well which has great choices. The service was really good.

What a great place to stop off on a bike ride for some great breakfast or lunch. They have tons of outdoor seating that has plenty of shade and wonderful scenery. Their food selection is wonderful and is obviously on the healthy side with plenty of alternative options. The portions are good size and the food is made with fresh ingredients and very tasty.they also have a good selection of coffee and drinks as well as a wonderful store inside with plenty of snacks and gift options to take for friends and family. They also have a good selection of pastries as well. Overall, this is one of the better places I’ve gone for a nice healthy breakfast or lunch.

It's a great place really, I'd like to give it 5 stars but sometimes service is slow (I've just waited 25 minutes for a black coffee), and I always want to buy a cheese Brioche, but they almost NEVER have them despite the label in their cabinet. Today I went there early to try to get one, but they were already gone. They told me they only prepare 3 or 4 per day! 😞 Maybe, one day, if I'm incredibly lucky the cheese brioche will be available when I visit? I just can't face another savoury muffin and I'm not keen on sweets. Pies are too much of a commitment for a snack with coffee. Please help me out toad! Or are your triple cheese brioche only a myth?

We only came by for breakfast on our way to Cable Bay coming from Kaiteriteri. We were all surprised with the cafes selection of food. Boys had pies and I had a vegetarian salad. It was so delicious and my 9-year old who’s always been a pie lover was raving about his pies and we bought another one to go for him!!! The cafe is clean, spacious, tidy with ample parking space and clean toilets behind it. They also have ice cream and display of some kids furniture made of fine wood. Next time, we will have lunch at this place! They are also very easy to find with a big sign along the highway, you won’t miss it... oh and friendly staff too!
