Review The Cyprus Tree - Ohakune

What a treat "The Cyprus Tree" was! Ticked all the boxes for service, delicious food, interesting menu, presentation and atmosphere. Beautiful dining experience! 10/10 Oh did I mention there is an Air Hockey table out the back for kids young and old?

Great place to stop in for something to have a coffee & eat...my ham sandwich was great, fresh bread and the ham was thick, real ham with plenty of it.

Welcoming and warm atmosphere. Very thoughtful regarding the kids play area. The food was exquisite and extravagantly delightful. One of the juiciest Venison I've ever had. Quite a decadent culinary experience and that too for the whole family.

We had small plates for sharing and they were all very tasty. If we had found this restaurant earlier, we would visit again definitely. All plates were great. However the soda drinks are tap drinks and it wasn't that fizzy and warm when I got mine. Since it was only $4, so I didn't complain it. Still enjoyable with their food.

Wow! What a great place to spend the evening! The space was lovely with a fire in the corner which heated the room perfectly. The atmosphere was lovely. The staff were kind and funny. The food was GREAT!! So delicious! And the margaritas were good too 😉 We really liked that the kids had proper menu options, so they could have steak and veggies if they wanted. Our boys chose spaghetti & meatballs which were clearly homemade balls and delicious. There was fuze table and air hockey outside which gave the kids something to do while they waited for their food, and our lovely waitress came and told us when our meal was ready. Thanks for the perfect end to the day team!

Really delicious food. Every dish had the perfect balance of base ingredient and spices. So often chefs get too heavy handed with their favourite flavour, but at this restaurant the chef had achieved the ideal levels

Thanks to the team at the Cyprus Tree, my spaghetti and meatballs was lovely, just like your restaurant so keep up the great work.... 😇🍒

Popular restaurant in Ohakune on the main road. Tasty food with generous portions on offer on the menu. Kids meals available as well, with the option to pay $3 more to add a drink and dessert for the kids. Staff were lovely and the place was busy. Booking is essential

Lovely place to go-to for Tapas and a drink. Great kids area, one spot for the little kids and outside there is further games for the older kids like air hockey. Slightly on the higher pricing, however for its location and food flavors its comparable to your main centers. Accommodating to dietary requirements. Booking recommended. Only one recommendation would be for a fire guard to be installed around the gas heater by the little kids play area.

Just walk in on a winters night and see the beautiful wood fire with couches. Food was good, we ordered Tapas to share would have been nice if they spaced them out instead of them arriving all at once. But that didn't stop us from enjoying them and eating them. Just made us look like piggies. Nice spot, good food

Busy and popular place, perhaps somewhat pricey We visited the restaurant for dinner during New Year holiday period. Glad we booked ahead - all tables were taken, and some walk-in customers couldn’t be accommodated. We had several dishes - mostly vegetarian. The service was friendly and the food good, but the price of some items was too high - for example- $9 for a small side of steamed greens (beans). This is perhaps due to being so much inland, and not having much competition. The baked feta was delicious- we had not tried this before. But the accompanying bread (baguette) was too dry. They also agreed to change the cheese in the gnocchi from blue cheese to cheddar.ni e To have this flexibility.

Generous portions! Tasted good and nice service. Also had a good selection of wines by the glass. Moderately priced too.

Nice and cosy restaurant with lovely rustic interior. Staff very friendly. Food was good especially the steak which was above average. Pepper corn sauce was home made.

Honestly the best place in Ohakune. I had a Margherita pizza and it was the best pizza I had ever. The cheese was super melted and the tomato sauce was probably their own because it wasn’t the usual sweetish tomato sauce from the store. It tasted amazing. The place was also very well decorated and very aesthetic. It had a cozy fireplace and candles on the tables. Fairy lights on the ceiling and hanging lights brightening the room. The staff were very friendly and very kind as we didn’t know what some of the things on the menu were.

Excellent venue. Great for kids. Only feedback would be some lighter meals for those that aren’t that hungry (or budget conscious) However catered extremely well for allergy even checking ingredients on a sauce I hadn’t considered to make sure I could eat it.

Beautiful food., friendly staff and nice atmosphere. We had tapas to share ,.all really Beautiful

One of the must-visit food places in Ohakune. Reservation is highly recommended.

17 of us dined and every meal was to perfection. Amazing flavor combinations! Warm atmosphere and reflection of ceiling lights look like stars above the mountain at dusk. A 5 star experience *****

We were down a few days after the carnage of mardi gras and this place gave exceptional service that was better than any other. Pictured is the baked feta w/bread and the pan seared salmon with cauliflower rice which was brilliant. Easy 5 stars.
