Rima's Bakery Cafe
Restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ The islands best kept pie secret. All I can say is that you need to β€˜not’ go there and experience the best pies you have ever tasted in your life. I don’t want to go there and find out you ate them all and I miss out. Haha. Totally awesome place.

Kai Pizza
Restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great pizza - thin crust and wood fired! The prices are reasonable, but don’t expect to have leftovers. Tuesday’s you can get their most expensive pizzas for only $15NZD each. Also remember that there is a β€œsugary drink tax” on the island, so think twice before buying a soft drink with your meal.
