Review Woodturners Cafe - Thames

We had a beautiful birthday lunch . Staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was beautiful. And a reasonable price My husband's birthday was made special and their carrot birthday cake beautiful. They had made us so comfortable organizing a room and a heater on arriving. Everything was very clean spic l and span I done Christmas shopping as well. There range of gifts were amazing. Made my day. The kids loved the playground. Nothing was a problem.

We enjoyed a lunch here. Comfortable atmosphere and tasty food

First time we'd stopped here - just had coffee and scones but will definitely be back. Nice little fenced area for dogs out the back. Great kids play areas. Good vibe to the place with jams and crafty stuff to buy too.

Perfect for toddlers & preschoolers!!!! What a surprise, a place to stop, eat, grab a coffee & and have your little person occupied and leaving you in peace. There is a super cool under 5's play pen that is one giant wigget board & another kids playground out the back. We only stopped for coffee, but this place is a total gem. A perfect stop when traveling on holiday & the kids need to get out and stretch their legs.

Fantastic food, drinks and service. Great setting, kid and pet friendly and some great shopping to be had. A must stop on your travels.

We’ve come here since the cafe opened- which really reveals my age! It is large, busy and caters for all tastes. Others mention the thoughtful children’s play areas. There is a sense of humour evident in little touches. We enjoy their coffees and toasted sandwiches. One aspect I think needs attention are the toilets. This weekend I was in early on Saturday and also at closing on Sunday. The pong is pretty awful. The lack of ventilation is an issue. Maybe in the interim you could try some diffusers? It’s saying something that I prefer the Ngatea public toilets to these ones.

Nice place to stop between Auckland and Tauranga.

Beautiful homey cafe. Food was great, coffee was great. Friendly, efficient service tho a little slow, but that was probably our fault - we were a large group of 12. So I think they did great, considering. I will definitely be back!

It's always nice to stop here. There are a few little gems along this route that make good food, and this is one. Not your standard cheap cabinet food. Lovely shop with some great gift ideas.

We always stopb at this café if we can when travelling from Akld to BoP, as it has heaps of parking, is very dog friendly, and a good selection of tasty fresh food. Plus the staff are really nice and the service is super efficient. As a bonus there lots of gifts and kitchen items for sale. We always sit outside and it hasn't rained on us yet. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays I think.

I’ve driven past this Cafe so many times, now I wish I’d stopped. The food is really good, a lot to choose from, breakfast, lunch, hot and cold choices, yummy cakes, friendly efficient staff, camper van parking, dog walking area, at least 5 seating areas, seating inside and outside, kids play house and play ground rides, lovely garden outlooks. Loads of parking. Good mobility accessibility to cafe and bathroom.

Looks like they have new owners since last time we were there... gardens spruced, new coat of paint on building, extra decking, child friendly with own play area, and a dog run . Food- I had bean salad needed spring onions, the other had mini breakfast..... other meals looked nice and their scones were huge! There are a lot of dining rooms indoors if you don't wish to be outside where there a quirky bits in the garden all n all not a bad place to stop... but if you want an iced coffee you better ask for a double shot!!

Friendly staff, great food and coffee. Wonderful country house garden aesthetic.

Interesting and cute place with many eating areas to sit in. Lovely garden, nice food & some good products to buy.

Like this cafe so much! Good to stop here for morning tea. Good COFFEE and yummy foods. Playground and outdoor tables! Beautiful cafe to go to! Lot of parking!

This cafe is a great place to stop, nestled in a farm setting with beautiful gardens many interesting design ideas scattered around the location.

A great spot to have a break while travelling. Great atmosphere and awesome food.
