Farewell Spit Cafe - Collingwood

We somehow mist the turn to farewell splitt, got there on the way back from wharariki beach. From sandy/stone beach walking up to the dunes.... just amazing, further in the dunes your suddenly surrounded by white sand everywhere, like your in a dessert. Was a bit of a surreal experience, loved it! Really nice restaurant with beautiful views over farewell split. Nice menu, we had the nachos, delicious! There are also some trinkets you can buy and they have clean toilet's.

Beautiful view overlooking Farewell Spit, great location for a cafe. Was quite busy when we visited for lunch, although our toasted sandwiches came in reasonable time, the pie took a little longer. Food was fine, other menu items on the pricier side but to be expected so far out from a major township.

Nice little cafe right out at the start of Farewell Spit. The service was awesome with a friendly staff member making everything nice. Coffee and cake was good but a bit expensive. I guess you can understand it given this is quite remote but still would be better if prices were a big lower. The views are stunning and it's a great place to grab some human fuel before setting off on a walk. No dogs allowed out here due to DOC from what I understand which is a bit unfortunate too.

My wife and I stopped here during our honeymoon. The view is AMAZING. Especially during tidal activity. We watched the tide come in and were amazed at how the landscape changed. It is a nice cafe with good coffee to warm you up after a trek in the cold. The snacks are decent too. There is good information on the spit and a large satellite view map. Bathrooms are also available and decent.

This was a great little place to grab a bite before heading down to walk the Spit. Surprisingly good selection of food and drink and I thoroughly enjoyed my order of the scallop pie and the organic ginger beer. They have al-fresco dining overlooking the spit, so you get a great view with your meal. I had the little side salad that came w/my pie and it was fantastically verdant and tasty. The gal that took my order at the counter was also very nice and explained the menu to me when I had questions. All in all, a definite rec to make a stop before or after your visit to the Spit!
