Quaint operation doling out breakfast, New Zealand fare, coffee, beer & wine in a country store.
Notes for Cardholders
Standing and Queuing
Who likes queuing, but for those who find this an actual problem then we are
happy to come to you to take your order. Just make sure we know that you
are there
Level Access
Unfortunately our store has a step leading to the entrance, so if you are
bound to your wheelchair you will sadly not be able to come in. (Is there a
rear entrance, or can you create a makeshift ramp?) There is no specific
parking set aside on the road for disabled parking but there is plenty of
space. If you call in advance and let us know when you'll be there we will
endeavour to save you a park right outside.
Distances
Unfortunately, we cannot offer you either disabled parking or
guarenteed parking right outside, as there are no set aside spots
directly around our cafe. There is a small carpark across the road. We
would suggest that you get someone to drop you off at the door to
save this hassle if this is an issue for you, or give us a call in advance
and we will do our best to save you a spot.
Urgent Toilet Access
Our store has a single, unisex, disabled customer toilet. We will
prioritise you going next if there is a queue
Disability Assist Dogs
We love dogs, and have water bowls available. Registered assistance dogs
are welcome inside our store
Essential Companions
We appreciate that not everyone in your group is wanting to purchase a drink, or something to
eat. We are good with that, we think they will crack when they see the cabinet and smell those
wonderful aromas, but if they have the will power then that’s all good with us
Difficulty Accessing Visual Information
Our drinks and food menus are written, and so is the description of the items
in the cabinet. However, your server is more than happy to assist in
explaining what we can offer, and they know you may need just a bit of extra
time to decide what you want. Remember, if it is easier we can come to you
at the table just let us know you want that.
Difficulty Accessing Audible Information
We are not in the position to offer sign language, but your server will be
happy to spend the time needed with you so that you get what you want.
Remember, if it is easier we can come to you at the table
Hidden Disabilities
We understand that the icons on the card don’t cover every accessible
barrier and so when we see this icon on a card we will ask how we can
make your visit to our store a great one.
