Relax in Beautiful Surroundings

After dinner, take a romantic stroll along beautiful Pohara Beach. If you’re lucky, you might just see the penguins as they come ashore to nest.

“I went into the Penguin with a very educated palette. The setting and set-up drew me in. And I hoped the food would fulfil the promise of this… I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. I was there with a few friends, and we all left very happy with the great service and exceptional quality of food.”

“I was taken here for breakfast on my birthday, ordered Kiwi Breakfast. The presentation was good. Eggs were perfectly cooked, there was loads of bacon – fresh cut bread all at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend this café.”
