Getting there is half the fun - crossing that shaky bridge! The cafe is typical New Zealand: good food and attentive service in a genial atmosphere.

Loved the outdoors area with vineyards and old stone buildings at the back and a view of the river at the front. The food was delicious and service good.

A small cafe/bar restaurant near an historic suspension bridge. Nice food and they have tried to create an atmoshpere but I felt it was a bit clinical. Not that full but it seemed noisey.

A very nice location along the river. The menu is different and extremely good. The lamb burger was outstanding! Outdoor seating was very pleasant and I enjoyed the Shaky Bridge pinot.

We stopped here for a morning coffee while on the Otago Bike Rail trail. You have to come off the track to find it but it is well worth the effort. The coffee was good as was the food the offer

having dined very well at the shaky Bridge when the previous owners were there we were very disappointed to take friends to what was an inferior cafe meal and experience. Two meals had to go back to be heated, and came back still barely warm. The coffee was good though. Wendy
