A large group of us had lunch here, it was mid week. Whilst not outstanding the food was good and met everybodies requirements, we had GF, Vegetarian and no seafood people amongst us and they all left happy. The restaurant is on the edge of a slipway so there is plenty happening around you and on our visit there was a little blue penguin bobbing around. Despite there being 10 of us all of the meals arrived at the sametime so the staff were well organised

We call in here quite regularly between Blenheim and Nelson, these owners have continuously improved the food, service and decor. Each time we go in there is more variety whilst holding onto the favourites. Chicken pies are amazing, this time I tried a vegetarian pizza - it was amazing, snickers caramel slice, the fries are delicious and everything homemade. Well done team.

5. Apples For Charlotte
Overall Ratings
5 based on 90 reviews
Apples for Charlotte Eatery is a vintage style cafe and tea rooms with a fresh, homely feel. We bake all our sweet and savoury treats from Bagels and croissants to scones and slices. Everything is made with love and attention to detail as we want everyone to enjoy our little cafe as much as we do. We are passionate about providing great coffee and serving loose leaf tea in vintage China. High tea is another passion of ours and we have a high tea menu filled with bite sized traditional treats to enjoy. From the decor to the music, Apples for Charlotte is a beautiful place to just relax with some coffee and cake.

As NZ tea rooms go this is pretty hard to beat. My only criticism is a very British once and applies to everywhere I've been in NZ; Devonshire / cream tea should be served with clotted cream NOT whipped. I still live in hope of finding somewhere this side of the planet that's got this right.

8. Havelock takeaways
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By JV_Travelling - Berlin, Germany
We passed through Havelock on our way to Abel Tasman National Park and kind of ended up here, because the other options did not offer vegetarian alternatives. We had some burgers and fries. The food was very good. Especially the vegetarian burger was very delicious. Furthermore the portions are very large so you should definitely share the fries and just the fries are enough as lunch. The guy taking the orders was very friendly, however for a fast food takeaway the food took quite a long time.
If you are driving through Havelock it is definitely worth it stopping by for lunch, but be prepared to wait for it.

We had egg sandwiches which had been made fresh daily and a coffee each while we watched the world go by. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. There was a lot to chose from pies, sausage rolls, sandwiches (lots of variety) and cakes galore. Value for money.
