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

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

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!

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



We pride ourselves on delicious food made from scratch every day, using the best available ingredients. This means free range eggs and bacon, and local produce where possible.


Our menu of all-day breakfasts, grilled sandwiches and bowls are complimented with an ever-changing selection of baked goods and salads at the counter.
