With panoramic views stretching over the Pacific Ocean and coastline, and a backdrop of native wildlife, the café at Natures Wonders is more than just a place to eat, it truly is a destination with a view to dine for. Our fully licensed, modern café has large glass windows with 180 degree vistas, offering visitors a warm, welcoming spot to relax, recharge, and take in nature at its finest. Whether you want to have a special lunch or dinner, join a wildlife tour, or you need a unique venue for an occasion or event, this café is a hidden gem worth discovering. Every visit supports local conservation, so you’re helping protect the land and wildlife you love.
The Natures Wonders café is always open for tour groups and reservations, and is open most other days - we recommend calling ahead to ensure availability and we do operate for shorter hours in winter. Contact us to find out more about our menu or to make a booking.
Our daily offerings include barista coffee, homemade cakes, scones and cheese rolls, light meals, and seasonal salads, and we offer classic Kiwi fare including sandwiches, paninis, burgers, Tracey's famous meatloaf, and local fish and chips.
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and organic options are available—just let us know your needs when you book. We cater to most dietary requirements and allergies with a bit of advance notice.
Sustainability and conservation at the heart of what Natures Wonders does
What sets us apart is our commitment to sustainable giving. Profits from the cafe directly support our conservation fund, which helps restore native bush and protect the incredible wildlife that calls the Otago Peninsula home. When you dine with us, you’re not just treating yourself—you’re making a difference through donating to local conservation.
We believe in respecting nature in every way possible, and sustainability is woven into everything we do at Natures Wonders. We use bamboo products, source locally where possible, use natural rainwater that’s carefully filtered and UV-treated, and minimise waste at every opportunity.
