Tapawera hotel and restaurant
About

The kitchen serves the kind of hearty pub cooking that suits a rural hotel, and the bar pours alongside it. Full details sit at https://tapawerahotel.nz/. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the middle of the year is the quieter time to visit.
English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country and are worth recognising on road signs.
