The café opens every day from 06:00 to 15:00, an early start that suits travellers setting off before the day's drive.

The location on the highway south of Christchurch makes it a natural pause for anyone heading further along the route. New Zealand cooking features lamb, dairy and seafood, including green-lipped mussels, bluff oysters and crayfish, and a café stop fits neatly into a day of driving between towns.
Seasons here run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August. The temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild, and snow rarely settles at low altitude. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, while dolphins, fur seals and seabirds appear around the coast.
