5 WILLOUGHBY ST - PAEROA - NZ     ♦     +64 (0)7 862 7678

Facebook

A cafe nestled in the heart of Paeroa, NZ, complete with Mt Atkinson coffee and 50's inspired boutique accommodation

There is also boutique accommodation on site; The Guard’s Cottage is self-contained and comfortable with ‘50s inspired decor and has everything one would need for a relaxing stay. The Miner’s Cabin is charming and rustic with a warm, relaxed style and a cosy loft bed.


Paeroa provides a perfect base for riding the Hauraki Rail Trail, exploring the Karangahake Gorge or antique shopping and relaxing.

Firmly set in the history of the area, the building was originally commissioned as the National Bank Gold Refinery in 1914. As such, the massive solid concrete walls, double height stud capped with huge timber beams and Rimu roof structure certainly fitted the grandeur of purpose. A large, light filled space, which manages to be cosy and welcoming; armchairs and a roaring fire in the winter and rustic outdoor tables and ivy covered walls in the summer. Read a book over coffee or browse the huge collection of vinyl and put on a song or two. Talk to our resident expert Mike about your HiFi needs!

We use free range eggs and bacon, local produce where possible and organic milk in our coffees. Baking is all made on the premises from scratch; no premixes, no substitutes. Below are some selections of our counter food; new treats are being added all the time.
