    It's very crowded on weekends and it's almost hard to find parking around. There are fewer people on weekdays. The staff are warm and energetic. The restaurant has a large space and a good environment. Coffee and food are pretty good. The washroom is very clean and spacious. Overall in all aspects, decoration, space, atmosphere, environment, food, coffee, service are πŸ‘ 🌹

    🚻 β™Ώ Finding parking no problem , other wise inside the premises or out on street. The is a ramp for those with wheel chairs. A spacious and bright clear atmosphere inside white wooden decor clean and inviting. We were greeted with a smile and told menus on tables . Soft music 🎢 playing not over powering So you can hold a good conversation. Fantastic place for parents with children they have a playground . You can sit eat and watch your children from your seating. The food and drinks we ordered was fantastic check my photo's πŸ“· Polite and courteous staff . Most definitely reccomended this establishment πŸ˜€

    Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to The Park House. I would best describe it as "refined". The food was well presented and tasty - the French toast was a little too sweet for my taste buds! Bacon was an extra and would have taken the price up to $30 - on the pricey side! The service was excellent. We did not have children with us, but I guess the adjacent playground is a huge drawcard for families. There is outdoor seating overlooking the playground. We went on a chilly winter's day so opted to sit inside, away from the door.

    A delightfully sunny cafe with delicious food! Well presented meals which tasted great and the lychee soda was very tasty. I had the breakfast rosti stack and added halloumi. The outdoor covered area allows dogs too! We went on a Wednesday for lunch, it was pretty busy but I can imagine it gets busier here. Lovely place on a sunny day.

    Really relaxing atmosphere and a nice bright place, with positive vibes. Food was delicious. Service was polite and prompt. Decent size park at the back to play with the kids if you have any or just have as your view which takes away from the the fact that the cafe is off the main road. Can't wait to go back again!

    These guys deserve a solid 5. Nice cheerful personable owner who makes you feel welcomed at the get go. Excellent, tasty cabinet food options which are as flavorsome as they look. Will be on my list of favorite cafΓ©s from here on in.

    Whether you need a place to go that helps entertain the kids or you want a place that has a nice atmosphere and food, this is a good place to visit. The team is lovely and friendly, and the food choices will have you wanting to order a few things at a time. With the playground fenced in and lots of grass area for the kids to around, you'll find it easy to keep an eye on them while enjoying a nice cold latte from the deck. It's a popular place, so give them a call to reserve a table, especially if you're coming in deep with a group and kids included. I had their frenchtoast, eggs on the side with bacon and a cool ices caramel machiato (hope I spelled that right!)

    Ordered the freshly squeezed orange juice and french toast with bacon, all tasted phenomenal and beautifully presented. Service was a bit slow, they could have done with an extra waitress but the food came out relatively fast once we'd ordered. The setting was lovely and even with a few other diners it wasn't overcrowded or too loud. Great spot for kids as there's a playground right outside. The only negative was there was a bird inside that must have visited frequently as the indoor tree in the dining room had a fair amount of bird poop on the leaves.

    Very absolute love parkhouse. The staff are always lovely and it’s such a lovely atmosphere right next to the playground. The food is great and they’re a wide range of options, both on the menu and the cabinet. They also make amazing cocktails! Unfortunately their menu food is more on the expensive side which is the only downside.

    Lovely place, atmosphere and staff. Just a little dissaponted in the food. It looked amazing but lacked in flavour and dimension. It all tasted quite bland and very similar. The pork belly in the tacos were also very dry. Hopefully just a one off, with such great reviews. Will have to try it again another time.

    Nice little local cafe on Whenuapai's entrance. Good accesibility and great setup for families with young children. Food is nice in general but some of the pre-cooked bits like sausage and bacon from Parkhouse Breakfast were old and dry. The stuff on the counter looked great though, maybe next time.

    In summary, it was disappointing. However, the staff in general were friendly and very accomadating. But friendliness does not compensate for the amount of mistakes they made. Tables lacked cutlery, napkins and a good clean. Also, the number of times they gave us something we DID NOT ORDER was astounding. Drinks, side dishes and mains were all given to us, but we did not order it at all. Very wasteful. Quite slow getting the orders out in general. Kumara fries, undercooked and very soft and limp. Pretty good lamb and mocha, which I had. Not to mention as well, the mess was a bit much. Birds flocked in to eat the remains of customers who left, and no one came to clean up the mess for a while.

    Beautiful place inside and out. Love the decor. Lovely to sit in the sun on the deck. Quick service and helpful staff. Good range of GF and vegan options Pork belly was delicious but would have been 100% if the crackling was crunchy

    Booked a table for 7 people and it was an amazing day. Good food with up to standard customer service and playground for kids to enjoy after brunch. Will definitely revisit this place for sure! Highly recommended.
