Gatehouse Café
About
Gatehouse Café, on South Island, sits at 185a Kirk Road in Templeton, Christchurch 7675, New Zealand, on the outskirts of the city.
First-time visitors can expect a café-restaurant setting in a semi-rural part of Christchurch, with the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Gatehouse.185a as its online home. A 4.6 out of 5 rating from 471 reviews reflects a substantial and consistent stream of visitor feedback. Reaching it from elsewhere on the island is straightforward, since Christchurch anchors the east coast and Queenstown, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura are all linked to it by road and air.
Templeton lies west of the city centre, so the venue is easy to combine with a drive out of Christchurch.
Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture. Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, and the temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild and winters rarely snowy at low altitude.
