Second visit with overseas visitors and was embarrassed by the poor service today. The food was barely warm and our guests were served well before our order which arrived only after I chased it up. Unlikely to recommend this place to others despite the great surroundings.

Uniquely great place. Filled with artwork and novel items in an old church in the countryside. Never seen anywhere like before. I recommend this place.

This is a quaint venue with a welcoming family feeling. We were able to be relaxed the entire visit. The welcome at the door was warm and genuine. The winter coffee in the conservatory is cosy. I particularly like the summer visits with coffee in the statue garden.

Love everything about Birdwoods. Located 5 minutes out of Havelock this renovated old church has a lovely rural feel which opens at the back onto gorgeous north facing gardens with contemporary statues of sheep and other animals that are for sale. Don't miss the second garden either with its large formal lily pond, more exotic animal statues and a summer house. Inside is packed with goodies of all descriptions to buy with the cafe at the rear looking out onto the gardens and more table settings around the big trees. Delicious fresh food is cooked on site daily and you can have a full meal or buy from the cabinet. I can't visit Havelock without calling here for at least a coffee or home made lemonade and something freshly baked to eat which arrives beautifully presented on its wooden tray with napkin stand and fresh flowers and the friendly staff complete the Birdwood experience. If you have children with you then visiting the old style lolly shop next door is a treat and recently an ice-cream cart has been added beside it. It's always 10 stars here for me!

Beautiful set-up with a "home wares" type shop, an old fashioned sweet shop ( you must try the chocolate coated prunes made on the premises), cafe, and sculpture gardens.

Fabulous & Charming Gallery and Cafe all rolled into one , oh and including a fantastic extra The Sweet Shop. I Highly recommend for family outings or perhaps a function as there is plenty of outside space and grounds to wander in. Staff are very friendly and the food is exceptional. You must try there famous Custard Squares..just Devine!

A beautiful setting that was home to the best scones I've had in New Zealand. We'll be going back when we're next in the Hawkes Bay.

This is a fantastic and charming little cafe nestled just outside of Havelock North. They make some of the best date and sweet scones we have had here in NZ and the grounds are absolutely phenomenal with their free roaming ducks and wonderful sculptures.
