A. K.

Absolutely love coming here, the ice cream is delicious, mixed berries is yum! We also loved having a game of bball, playing in the outdoor area and picking strawberries in the field, best part is the strawberry picking and they taste absolutely YUMMY! Highly recommend this place for a whānau filled outting or take your kids out for there birthdays. Pics of me and my boys for my Iyruhs 12th Birthday.

K. S.

Great place to hangout while enjoying a cuppa and some fresh berries. Food is ok. Staff are friendly

L. V.

We always go for the yummy ice-cream. Was a bit of a sideways head movement as all our ice-creams nearly felt off. That was disappointing as nearly everyone had wonky ice-creams. However, the strawberries are absolutely beautiful and jucy 🍓

M. J. d. L.

Tables inside can be really hot during summer. Other than that, great service, delicious and juicy Angus Burger.

C. B.

Only a 4 star as the rain wiped out the orchard so berry picking is over for the year. Mini golf is fun, full 18 holes. Nothing flash but a good solid round with a few nice touches including a swinging post over a hole. The ice creams are amazing. $6.50 for a huge berry mix on a cone. Also has a small farm with a couple of calves and sheep

E. K.

Great Cafe with the best berry icecreams, a volleyball net , a basketball court and a playground to keep kids busy

C. P.

Definitely a must see place when you are around Whakatana! Family friendly as well. The food in the cafe is delicious. They have a playground if you have a little one. They also have a mini animal farm where you can pet the farm animals. You can pick your own berries or just buy the berries if you are feeling lazy.

B. C. (.

A few weeks ago we scored the primo strawberries, blue berries and a few other berry fruits that we have come to expect. Large, juicy, and sweet. We returned after a week of rain with slightly different results. Frozen are always a good option, and, better depending on the end use of the fruit selected.

F. M.

Such an awesome venue, totally recommend this for an outing with the family for the play areas for the kids and the mini putt for the big kids, let alone the yummy fruits and delicious coffees and menu in the cafe. First time here today will definitely be back before closedown on 1st Feb. Congratulations guys on such an awesome go to venue

D. V. G. (. p.

A fun family outing with berry picking for the adventurous, real fruit icecream or frozen yoghurt. A lunch menu with burgers and fries for the hungry teenagers. Mini golf ($10 each) and a number of outdoor games and a playground for the smaller children round off the experience.

G. C.

10:10 Great Atmosphere. Lots of things for Kids, mini Farm, Basketball Court and mini golf. Good coffee, and wait time was good given it was very busy. Lots of food and drink options. Lots of berry products. Very busy place but huge dining areas so easy to choose seats in 4 different dining areas. Whole place spotlessly clean. Lots of staff and different product counters so efficient prompt service. Easy spend an hour here. Highly Recommended.

T.

Amazing place for day out with family and friends. Nice restaurant, fresh fruit icecream, seasonal PYO fruits/berries... you can also buy them in the shop. Huge playground area with different activities - basketball, volleyball, mini golf...., plenty of place on the grass to chill out under the shade of a tree. Definitely will be back again...

N. B.

A lovely experience at Julian’s Berry Farm. Great to see a company officially checking in guests and also providing contactless services for those who do not have vaccine passes. Both my elderly parents and I enjoyed dining in, and the complementary strawberries for an order mix up we’re enjoyed by all. Thank you Julian’s.

B. D.

Absolutely fantastic place to stop, lovely berries to purchase or pick your own if you prefer. Cafe on site is great, really nice toasted sandwiches and iced coffee’s. lovely goods made with berries, ice cream and berry smoothies were nice. Plenty for the children to do in the playground, mini golf and mini farm with animals. The best part is the parking is huge, there is oversized parking for Motorhomes and caravans. A must visit when in Whakatane

M. G.

Do you want me to like your place? Acknowledge my dog :) staff super friendly, one of the young waiters brought water for my doggie and called her cute. Burger was yummy. Nice place!

R.

It's a very beautiful place with a spacious seating outside the main building where you can order food, buy fruity ice creams, other beverages, wide selection of coffees, or buy freshly picked strawberries and raspberries or buy frozen ones. There is a very nice playground for kids and even includes a mini golf course as well.

S. G.

What a great place to spend a weekend morning. Picking strawberries, loads of activities for the kids and even a little petting zoo. We had a delicious breakfast and after I asked the staff they explained the gluten free options, which were plenty. Can't wait to go back

C. M. C.

Went to Julian's Berry Farm today situated between Awakeri & Whakatane. What a wonderful family orientated place to take the family. My partner myself & my 2 daughters ordered a different flavoured berry icecream very delicious! They have alot of activities for the children & adults to enjoy very relaxed atmosphere + a lovely cafe. You can pick your own berries when in season. If you feel like a nice cool icecream & happen to be in the area give Julian's Berry Farm a go you won't be disappointed! We will definitely be back! 😎👍 January 2021 Summer Holiday! 😎🥂🍻🍦 Whilst staying at Awakeri Hot Springs we always pop into Julian's Berry Farm for one of their delicious berry ice creams! You get an all assortment of berry flavors to choose from as well as cones! They have a seasonal pick your own berries an animal petting zoo & playground for the little ones! Indoor & outdoor seating with shade on those hot Summer days. If your passing through to Whakatane stop in for a nice cold ice cream!

D. S.

This place is amazing. The atmosphere is very nice with good views and overhanging grapevines for extra colour and shade. The staff are quite friendly and clear unneeded things from the table. The food is absolutely delicious and well worth its price. The real fruit ice cream is also very tasty. I highly recommend coming here and also trying the Eggs Benedict, which was by far the highlight of my day.

T.

Very popular place and loved the ice cream and different berries you can pick or buy.

B. K.

Delicious food, quickly served nice and hot! Ice creams are large portions and very tasty!! Many things to do and see for kids free of charge such as the small animal area, playground, big 4 in a row and they also have a volley net and basketball hoop or a mini putt for a small fee. Yummy sweet and fresh strawberries. Awesome staff lots of seating and parking!

j. k.

Delicious berry icecream and strawberry and I scream desserts. Lots of craft jam and chutney, sweet corn, as well as wheat bags to buy on the way out.

R. H.

The outdoor seating area looked nice and we were asked to scan In with our covid at the counter passes which was better than not at all. The berries were fresh but the price was no better than anywhere else and not as cheep as some. The worst problem was the plastic packaging. Whe I asked about a cardboard alternative I was told it would add 4 dollars to the price which was bull . However they did say I could return it and they would recycle it.

V. R.

Great food, lovely people and a game of mini golf topped of with a big real fruit icecream what more could you ask for.

K. A.

A fun place to make a stop at when traveling, especially with kids! There are lots of berries to be pick or bought. There is also a lot of space for actives like volleyball, basketball and playground. After spending time in the sun there is a big area for eating lunch, having a coffee or enjoying a delicious berry ice cream!

N. B.

Best farm in country. Ice creams are on. Spacious for kids and a quick match of hoops or volley. Smoothies need some improvement however - perhaps more thicker.

E. V.

Beautiful place to visit with family. Pricey, but worth going every so often. Has fun outdoors play area, games, a lot of outdoor covered eating area. Can't forget the fresh fruit ice cream and very good food. Memory making place for families.

A.

Had really amazing time there. Awesome for family and couples or maybe friends. PYO, playground, lots of activities you can do. The foods and icecream were average but tastes healthy =) I had only strawberry picking and had food and icecream there but I am happy to be back again.

C. M.

Great family day out. Mini golf was excellent fun for all. Ice creams with fresh berries were delicious, and a very generous size. Didn't have time to pick our own strawberries, but were still able to grab a massive box from the shop. Cute playground and pretty zoo for kids too!

V. M.

Happened by on a two day trip to Whakatane. Had a very enjoyable lunch and bought two punnets of 'seconds' which were fantastic! On mid morning return next day got more 'seconds' as morning pick not yet ready. A great asset to the area and excellent quality control. So different to super market strawberries!

M. T. H.

Love going to this place. They have great ice creams ,berry fruit& cafe. Also alittle animal farm . They have activities for the whole family to enjoy. Bring your dog along on a leash o the grassed area

N.

Cool place to take the kids to. Nice food, nice ice cream, good vibes. A few activities for the kids to be entertained for a while so go with some extra time if you can. My boys loved that they could pet the farm animals, and I loved that was for free! Other than mini golf, the rest is free games for families to use, so you don't have to pay extra for much, only what you're eating or buying

K. R.

Amazing berries and the fresh mixed berry ice cream was so yummy. Two large strawberries for $25.

M. T.

Fantastic Berry Farm, quality berries of different kinds. The Cafe is marvelous a varied menu, wonderful staff extremely good service. First time visit last Thursday certainly going back

S. F.

Highly recommend this Berry farm to enjoy a nice cafe lunch or enjoy a Berry icecream/smoothie which are to die for! Well shaded dining area plus outdoor activities eg. Putput golf or children's play area. Exceptionally busy in summer for very good reason. Have been a regular customer for years! Steve Franklin Rotorua

C. S.

So cool! Busy as! Fab playground for kids of all ages. Berries galore! Yum real fruit ice-cream.

The best ice-cream EVER.... they have this “Pick your own” strawberry as well. Also mini golf. For best experience of freshly made ice-cream this is the place.

Great place to take the kids and whānau. Heaps of play areas for the tamariki and mokopuna. While there's a good place to eat while you chill in open spaces with umbrellas. Tino pai. PS there's an awesome farm park for the city kids to meet lambs, calf's, rabbits, chicken and birds!!! Must got to for the kids

L. R.

Always a pleasure - wonderful produce and the staff are always helpful, great outdoor area especially for kids with multiple play zones. Looking forward to our next visit!

I absolutely love this place, scrumptious berry ice creams & smoothies, highly recommend French toast so divine, mini golf course is so much fun & outdoor connect four, staff so friendly & helpful it's just a great place, a must visit when you are in Whakatane, loved taking my friend here last Saturday, she'd never been to whakatane before & she totally loved Julian's too, greatest highlight for me this season is fact I can have my exceptionally well behaved fur child Poppy outside on grass with me 🐩 Scrumdiddleumptious 🍓 delicious 💖

A. A.

Essential summer road trip trip stop. Delicious fresh ice cream and food. They also have frozen yogurt for a healthier sweet treat choice.

H.

Absolute gem. Gorgeously presented food, came quickly and best tomato relish I've ever had (pretty sure made from on site). Definitely worth a stop here for brunch/lunch.

V. T.

This place is really great. I love the horticultural connection. Food is a bit pricey for what you get and there are only two toilets.

H. T.

Pick your own berries ! They gave you a container to fill in, and you pay after picking. Cafe served pretty good nachos and affogato.

H.

More than just a pick-your-own shop, you can buy delicious preserves as well as fresh or frozen berries. The cafe inside is HUGE! Seating can be under cover or dappled shading under the trees or shade cloth. Ice creams and frozen yoghurt in various cone types - all berry types. Absolutely worth a visit with plenty of parking available.

J. H.

I've been fortunate enough to see this grow from a berry farm into an exception cafe experience. What I love is that they have embraced the growth and added the staff. The place can be absolutely packed and they cope magnificently. Add in what it really is, a berry farm, their fruit based meals (including ice cream) are divine. Oh and the coffee is great too.

S. C.

Amazing place, our first time there and we will definitely go again, yummy food, amazing fresh fruit ice creams, the kids cuddled some bunnies, played on the playground and we left with a heap of fresh strawberries

L. L.

Always a good food here, but massively over priced, and always way to crowded... There is only 2 toilets for everyone and normally one of those is out of order

K. F.

My girls love this place and it's a must do in Whakatāne. Best real fruit ice cream and smoothies!

J. F.

Fun. Kid friendly & great ice cream. Great petting zoo.

K.

Busy cafe but fast, efficient service and delicious menu food. Fresh berry fruit ice creams were huge and yummy. Strawberry picking is well underway with large juicy fruit. About $17 for a decent size pick your own container. Kids play area is extensive.

J.

Big berry farm. Fast service heaps of staff. The berry ice cream was really tasty!

H. I. (.

Great variety of food, clean and fast. A perfect stop for the kids

A. H.

Excellent place to visit, plenty of car parking. Limited menu, but what they do they do extremely well. Lovely setting, plenty of tables, wonderful staff. Playground for kids, mini putt, pick your own berries, definitely a must stop if you're innthe area.

P.

Great social gathering point. Delicious food (expect to pay) and very good service.

L. M.

The food here is amazing! You can also buy fresh produce, and in the picking season around November and December you can pick your own. There's a great playground for the kids also. There are lots of very tempting menu items at the cafe. Well worth a trip

C.

Awesome place! Food excellent atmosphere friendly

G. P.

Lots of smiling happy faces.yum icecream loved your potatoes chips.nice experience

M. A.

The best berry farm I've ever been to. Lovely place, farm, basketball court, and the sit out. Pls do try the Boysen ice cream. Loved it :)👌🏻👍🏻

P. M.

We had a real fruit ice cream but we're expecting a waffle cone not an ordinary cone for the price of $6.50 so that's why 4 stars and the yogurt wasn't quite in the cone so a bit more training is needed to get it straight. Service was friendly.

S.

Good place to visit pick some yummy strawberrs enjoy delicious ice cream.

P. V.

Good stop for the kids and the old. There's a volleyball court, a half basketball court, and a few other things for kids to play with. They also have a small animal petting area. And of course their berries are really tasty and fresh.

C.

Delicious and worth a visit. Staff need to smile more.

A. P.

Pleasantly surprised! Great strawberry picking experience. Quality strawberries.

F. S.

Yummy real fruit ice creams but expensive berries and to go strawberry picking. Awesome outdoor area for family, there is mini putt, a sand pit you can play beach volleyball on and some farm animals for kids to look at. Plenty of parking, shaded areas, grass and plenty of tables under cover for you to sit on too!

J. G.

Great place to take families, groups and just couples Great atmosphere and fun to pick berries Luv the ice cream

L. H.

This is the first time we have stopped here. They were very busy , service was great . Food was beautiful. They seemed to have alot of staff on to cope with all those traveling. For those with young children this would be a great place to stop as it has alot areas for them to play. Lots of lovely berries for sale. Can pick your own if you want.

T. C.

This is a great place to take the family and have a break from travelling on the road. You can pick strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. There is plenty of things to do for the kids such as playing basketball, volleyball, mini golf and giant connect four. The food is good and the strawberry ice cream is amazing but the service is a little slow when busy as this place is popular. I will definitely stop here again and relax.

D. M.

This is way more than a place for coffee. Mini golf, heaps of berries with ice cream too. Large location with excellent facilities. Make time to go out to Thornton Beach which is close by too

R.

Always good and very good range of Gluten free food.

D. C.

A brilliant place for stopping. You can have lots of family fun. We visited with friends and had a great lunch followed by mini golf and then a beautiful fresh fruit icecream. Highly recommend this place.

K. R.

Lovely atmosphere in the outskirts of Havelock North. Lovely fresh fruit and vedg strait from the turf.Happy customer. 👍

J. T.

Awesome place for cafe food with berries, natural Berry ice-cream and pickles, jams etc made with local berries and fruit. Plus there are family activities to do outside... In other words a great place for singles and families alike 😍🤩

C. J.

The berries really are delicious. Excellent place for lunch. Beautiful big outdoor dining space. The fresh fruit icecream and frozen yoghurt was amazing. Playground, Mini golf course, little farm area for the kids. Definitely coming back here. We bought some jams and chutneys to take home too.

L. B.

Always a lovely place to go to and meet up with friends and the added bonus of beautiful fresh berry fruit.

R. M.

Berry berry nice. Very fast service and well organized. It's the Disney Land of berries!!

D.

Nice spot for the family. Great frozen fruit icecreams. Can get a little busy

L. C.

Massive ice cream and yummy food. Lovely staff

L. U.

Definitely worth a visit. The whole atmosphere is inviting. We didn't dine in, but the boysenberry ice cream was delicious. We just thought the prices for strawberry picking was a bit high.

R. B.

Spotted this place on our way into Whakatane, and promised everyone that we would stop in here on our way out the next morning. It was mid morning when we arrived to find that the place was absolutely packed with families eating, drinking, playing and picking fresh berries from the patches. This venue certainly has a lot of value added wares to sample and purchase, and it’s no surprise that they appear to be doing very well. It’s a large open space, with plenty of parking, spacious buildings, and tons of seating areas outside, plus lots of kid friendly things to do. The mostly young staff do a great job and are pleasant under busy pressure, and our real fruit ice creams were just as good as our high expectations. 5/5

P.

Went as part of a work Xmas lunch on Friday. Very well organised friendly and efficient staff. Food was lovely - poached eggs were perfect, lovely sauce, lovely soft crispy bacon. Followed by a simple strawberry ice-cream in a cornet. Highly recommended! Well done team! Thank you 👍🙂

T. H.

Lovely food, lovely staff and great place to go and hang with the kids.... but getting soooo expensive

F. C.

Lovely place with good food and coffee. Play area for the kids and pyo berries.

t.

Jolly good fun on the mini golf course.....place was heaving with people...but the staff were friendly and efficient. Strawbs are bloody Brilliant!!!!

L. S.

We are so glad that we visited! The weather was stunning for strawberry picking and the kids loved all of the outdoors activities and fun in amongst mouthfuls of berries! Food is delicious. The place is very well run and there is plenty of parking and a space for everyone to enjoy.

C. N.

Best ice creams in the world! Grew up snacking on these in the holidays after road trips! Must have spent hundreds on the berries here, they’re super juicy, huge and sweet, could eat a punnet a day!!! Prices are a bit high but you’ll honestly never have a better strawberry peak season!

S. S.

Beautiful cafe and shop in one, lovely grounds to pick berries. Amazing berry ice cream too. Lovely place to stop and have something to eat outside.

K. O.

Great food and fresh fruit. Ice creams!!!

P. R.

Called in here to pick berries with my family....what a fantastic place just north of Whakatane! Great produce, excellent coffee, great range of food and fun for families.....mini putt, sand volleyball and basket ball.....plus the berries are awesome.....can't recommend this place higher. 👍👍😁😁

M. B.

Lovely food and decent side for the kids to run around. A great stopping point on our journey back from the beach. The ice creams are huge. Particularly the kids ones. Could do with adding a smaller cone for a cheaper price to the menu.

V.

A truely great place to pop out for a meal or milkshakes. Kids loved the little petting zoo and we enjoyed being able to enjoy good food in a shade while still being able to monitor the kid on the playground. Highly recommended!

J. W.

Really yummy strawberries and other berries are great too. Don't like their corn. Ice creams are delish. Setting is top notch. Staff willing and friendly. This place is a real asset.

C.

The absolute best place for berries and yummy food.

E. D.

Love this place. Good food, coffee icecream. Lots for kids to do but you need deep pockets. A free animal farm for kiddies.

C. M.

This is quite a large Cafe and all things Berry shop. I bought some blueberry Jam (lots of blueberries and very treaty). I had a blueberry ice cream ( they crush the berries and serve it similar to soft serve) it was great, would definitely try again. Staff were friendly and our orders were bought to our table. Nice setting to enjoy a ice cream on a hot day.

A. P.

Julian's have the best, most delicious berries! Great spot to stop with the family. There's picking to be done, a playground, lots of tables and a wide and varied menu. The ice creams and smoothies are divine and so is their fresh fruit and veges.

N.

Great food, service and atmosphere

D. A.

We like to bring the kids here because we all enjoy an ice-cream and there's alot of activities for the kids. I do prefer Blueberry corners icecream though. But Julian's Berry farm has good atmosphere. Small menu but otherwise ok.

A. G.

Its a "must" visit if you're in Whakatane. The berries are to die for and the ice-cream is delicious. The amenities and grounds are great too. Staff are very friendly.

T. K.

Going to Julians berry farm is an experience that my family and I try to catch every year. The berry farm is open seasonally so whenever we are travelling through Whakatane and the shop is open we always stop. The berries themselves are just delicious. They are huge, juicy and sweet. They have the best ice creams too, all made with your choice of berry of course! The cafe has good food and wonderful coffee. If you get the chance take the littlies, they will love it!

J.

Great place to stop for refreshments Excellent food, really nice surroundings and pleasant staff

B.

It’s amazing. Not much more to say

G. B.

What an amazing place for the whole family...Beautiful fruit...cafe food was scrummy especially the French toast....And not to mention the farm area the playground mini golf and berry picking....Great placeto spend time with family and friends...

K. A.

We took our granddaughter (13 months old ) and she loved the baby animals. Ice cream was great - and then we had to go back to see the animals again before we left.

C. B.

Excellent food and service, not the biggest menu but good food, well presented. Great seating area and things to do for kids and adults. Picking is nearly finished but that's not the only reason to go there.

S. T.

What a great place to visit! Our ganddaughter loved it, as there were rabbits and chickens to look at before you even went in to the shop. Once inside, you realised it was more than just a place selling berries, there was lots of food on offer (we all had strawberry sundaes, delicious!) and a lovely covered and/or open area to sit down and relax, while listening to some awesome music being played by a man with a guitar in the background. There was a playground to keep our granddaughter busy while we relaxed.and finished our food and you could also pick your own strawberries to take home. Staff were lovely and bought your food out to you. Would definitely visit again!

D. S.

Excellent place to go quietly with children. Unfortunately there are not many like this. Here adults and children can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with good views, great coffee, delicious ice-cream, animal farm, mini golf and playground

B. B.

Love the yoghurt and fruit and delicious sauce. Unfortunately I made a wrong decision in having a chicken salad.. Lots of leaves, some very salty chicken and baby tomatoes. On top a huge handful of crunchy noodles. A very ordinary meal for $19. From now on I'll pop in for the fruit and yoghurt only. The place is very busy with lots to do for families. A more vigorous clean of tables wd help to stop the stickiness that builds up. Staff are delightful and v friendly. Usually a great place to eat at.

L. S.

I know this place is a "thing" with locals, but besides a great selection of jams and a cafe. I didn't see the draw. The "pick your own berries" was limited to strawberries. The putt putt golf did not very good. The petting zoo was nice

J. D.

Worth a visit, great mini golf course & delicious food & coffee from the cafe. Fresh frui icecream was very good too.

M. B.

Great place. Lovely for all ages. Lunch was great and finished with superb berry Ice cream. People picking huge delicious strawberries.

D. N.

Great facilities. But pricey, ice creams were boss though. berries were a little on the small side but could have been due to time of year. Berries selection was great

C.

So much to do and look at. Yummy food.great service.

S. C.

Amazing ice creams, very good food and coffee. It's been my daughter's favorite Birthday place!!

N. S.

Massive indoor and outdoor spaces. They do a mean cafe menu and the berry ice cream is awesome. A great spot for large groups and for kids 😊

S.

Really nice food and a good family outing.

T. I.

Absolutely awesome service and very quick 😀 happy smiles from the stafe I would recommend anyone to go and relax while eating the amazing food. Enjoyed the whole atmosphere kiaora.

C. R.

Had a very delicious french toast for lunch. Very impressed with the busy cafe. Julians did really well to cater for the large numbers of customers there during peak season.

L.

Lovely place to visit for the whole family

A. S.

I've been going here since I was a child and it keeps getting bigger and better. Some of the best berries anywhere and now a fantastic cafe. Popular with locals and tourists alike. Great entertainment options for children too.

L. R.

A small strawberry sundae !!! This is a great place to just have a snack or a meal. Good value and really good quality. It gets busy which is a sure sign that it's a great place.

N.

Very nice Good lunch Delicious produce

A. H.

Can not rate the food as didn't have any but the grounds are good, fun for the kids and a small farmyard petting zoo.

M. D.

Great place to buy berries...very tasty. I would probably choose normal icecream over the yogurt icecream next time. Super play area for the kids big and small. Staff were friendly.

S. T.

Love coming here. Wonderful food and coffee. Playground and animal park for kids. Perfect just out of town

M.

Nice place. The burgers are suprisingly really good.

G.

Fresh berry heaven! Delicious and a fab spot for families with plenty to occupy the youngsters when they are not digging into those scummy strawberry sundaes.
