The Raft

What a fantastic cafe! It was my first time, and that was only because our people we support, Idea Services had a ladies' morning tea date with day service and other residential homes to get together and catch up with each other. I can't fault the wonderful, friendly professional service from the waitresses who went right of their way to make sure our ladies were well catered to. The food 😋 was like no other I have seen coming out of a café anywhere. The coffees were to die for! Price wise 👌 for what they had on offer generous servings I thought were reasonable. Well, presented those little touches go a long way! We had the back conference room booked as we had a big group, which was warm with the heat pump set at a comfortable temperature. Good seating making it easier for everyone to socialise amongst themselves. I totally recommend popping into "The Raft" the next time you want your cafe coffee fix and nibble or a full-on meal! You will not regret it! 10/10 Thank you for making our morning tea date for our ladies a memorable one! 😊

Food plays a big part in our whānau as it not only links to what we eat but it connects us with the people when we share a meal with. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and is a testament of all those qualities we want in a breakfast that ignites conversation, laughter and more importantly, whānau ties.  Thank you, very highly recommended

Called in for a lunch here as its a good place for my coeliac wife to eat. Their gf options are somewhat limited, and have never changed, so getting a little boring eating the same thing each time. I had their special Fettuccine for lunch which was delicious, but I thought it was a bit expensive for a lunch, took a long time to arrive, and there was way too much. I usually eat a lot, but it was too much for me. Still, a good place to visit occasionally with friendly staff.

Was recommended this place from a friend and the raft big breakfast was delicious. From the creamy mushrooms to the tasty ciabatta i thoroughly enjoyed this breakfast. Well seasoned, everything was on point scrambled eggs were fluffy and not overcooked great breakfast after a few drinks the night before. Had to finish it off with a piece of the peach and passionfruit slice which was delectable 😋. Breakfast was served within 10 minutes of ordering great service would definitely recommend.
