About

Hare and the Turtle is a local business in North Island. The café sits at 1/63 New Windsor Road, New Windsor, Auckland 0600, Nueva Zelanda, placing it in an Auckland suburb rather than a resort strip.

Hare and the Turtle is known for its daytime café offering, with doors open from 07:00 to 14:00 on weekdays and 08:00 to 13:00 on weekends. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward neighbourhood café rather than a full restaurant, so the morning and early afternoon window suits a coffee stop or a light meal. A rating of 4.8 out of 5, drawn from 937 reviews, places it among the more consistently reviewed cafés in the area.

A gallery of five images gives a preview of the café before a visit. The café's own site is at https://www.hareandtheturtle.com/. Opening hours run Mo-Fr 07:00-14:00 and Sa-Su 08:00-13:00.

North Island's temperate climate means summer, from December to February, draws the most visitors, while winter stays mild at low altitudes. Local food leans on fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and wines, which shapes what a café stop can offer. Domestic flights and ferries link the islands, and English and Māori are the main languages. Auckland, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth are the main towns, and Auckland sits closest to this New Windsor address.
