Kai Whakapai Review
There's no better place to stop for breakfast on a crisp sunny morning than this café, which has more tables outside than in. It's just across the road from the lake, so the views range from pretty nice on a cloudy day to fantastic on a fine one. Meanwhile, the menu ranges from simple breakfast and lunch choices (coffee and croissants, salads, nachos, and kebabs), to beef ribs or rump roast for dinner. In addition to consistently good meals, "The Kai" has local beers on tap, fresh bread, and banana cream pies.
