Home Harvest Cafe
This is a shout out for the lovely people at Home Harvest Cafe, 3 Plateau Rd, Te Marua, Upper Hutt 5018 open Thursday -Sunday. Tonida (Sp?) is from Sumatra and she and her family (many work at the cafe) are delightful. The toasted cheese scones are very good and so is the coffee. It is definitely worth a trip down the road from town to sit outside under the trees having a yarn with the locals. Visit them on Thursday and Friday if you can as they could use more business then. It is a great place to stop if you are cycling the Rimutakas or walking in Kaitoke forest. They are renovating a cottage to take guests and it would be a lovely spot to stay.
