Café Norsewood SH2 Open 7 Days

Cafe Norsewood sits two minutes off SH2 in the heart of New Zealand's Scandinavian village. Trish runs a tight, honest kitchen — flat whites, proper pies, cabinet cakes and scones, homemade soups and chowder. If you're heading north or south through Tararua, it's worth the detour.

Nothing pretentious. Nothing packaged. Just good food made fresh, the way it should be.

Carl's Note

"I've been stopping at Cafe Norsewood for the last 10 years — two coffees and a brownie, usually devoured before I'm back out on the main highway. If I'm anywhere in the area, the food always beckons."
