Recently I was in Maraetai and really felt like having a milkshake, my husband and I ordered different flavours. We both agreed they were the worst milkshakes we have ever had!!! For $4.80 i expected at least a little icecream with the milkshake but instead we got barely chilled milk with a little syrup and barely mixed. There was no... More

We visited Maraetai on a beautiful sunny day and the day was made even better by a great lunch of seafood and white wine out the front of the Cafe. Teh cafe would be at home in Auckland or any other metro city - funky decor, great food, coffee, cakes and good selection of wine by the glass. There is... More
