Reviews of Rangitaiki Tavern
r.This is one if the nicest places I've visited in New Zealand..great steak burger ..my husband enjoyed his meal and these wonderful people helped us when our car packed up in the middle of nowhere..they drove and collected my husband at the roadside..were so understanding of his dementia..what great service to match the wonderful meals we were then served!!! Such genuinely nice people x
A.Awesome place. Great burgers and at a very good price. Had a great stop. Couple of cold beers on the bar then a good big feed in the restaurant. Great old style country pub bloody good owners and patrons. A great place to stop have beer and burger. Pat the dogs, sit and watch the world go by. A must stop to just sit and relax.
C.Great little spot to stop at on the way through the Napier Taupos. Lovely menu. I recommend putting up a sign saying food/coffee/toilets in 1-2km sign up to let people know! It’s a secret gem
t.Awesome atmosphere. Great food, nice cold beverages and good hot coffees. Great place to stop and have a yarn with the friendly owners. We will definitely be back 💜
J.Great burgers. Awesome home made patties.
A.Great service. Amazing burgers, milkshakes are awesome too!!
H.Best food and coffee between Napier and Taupo, very friendly and helpful owners, quaint pub, dont go pass, definintely go in for a drink or food, best chips around and do a mean steak, peaceful surroundings, awesome service. Keep up the good work.
I.Basics done right. Salt of the earth people complete with a tavern hound willing to dispose of scraps for you. Locals telling yarns, good hot food and cold beverages.
L.Although you were closed, Thank you very much for the use of your toilet 🚻 😊 👍👍 I was absolutely busting 🥴
I'll be dropping in for a pint next time I'm passing if you're open.
Once again thank you 😊 🙏
E.Best Tavern around. Thanks for the coffee.
Jarrad(bluegrass) and Emily.

D.Best feed and best hospitality and very well priced.

O.Lovely owners, good (Glutenfree) Food and nice atmosphere, great coffee aswell as clean facilities. Definitely worth an Stopover when you’re on the Napier Taupo Highway.
B.Love this place great people and great food and prices are also great.
Perfect place to stop by on the way to or from Napier!
A.!!! I came here, because I had read some opinions about this place and wasn't disappointed! Burger was cheap and just amazing - big meat patty, super fresh ingredients. Will recommend this place to everyone!
S.Good morning tea on our trip. (Did you make those delicious scones?) Fun, quirky decorations inside, and the lady who kept the place open and made us coffees on our return journey was a star, taking the payments, making excellent coffees, and all very speedy and efficiently delivered with a smile and a chat. Awesome place!
T.Stopped for a driving rest break and ended up having a meal (Steak & Egg Burger for her and a Steak Meal for Him). Meals were sensational and the host, Aaron, kept us entertained the whole time. Highly recommend stopping here.
I.A great country pub with great meals.
H.Mint spot had great night service from Aaron and Tara was awesome
C.It's off the main highway the staff is husband and wife friendly service very laid-back country pub tbey serve burgers toasted sandwiches like j a hamburger take out kind of food coffee and muffins
The public bar
got couple of pool tables it's very cruzy
D.Good food friend owners and a great place to chill. I'll be stopping again.
A.Stopped on the way to Napier and so glad we did. Great family who own it. Super friendly. We enjoyed it so much we returned on our way home to have an amazing burger and chips in a really neat little place. Seriously good! Worth a stop in on you journey.
A.5/5 and WORTH EVERY CREDIT! These people are open long hours and on a shoe string to provide good tucker at all hours to Truckies and travellers. We've only ever had good things to speak about and yes the old fella can be brutally to the truth with a few expletives but that's simply old school kiwi style Roadhouse banter.
The awards speak for themselves.
Keep up the good work guys and thank you for offering a much better service than Stagg Park.....Stagg Park was my favorite but it simply got too greedy and quality bloody shocking!
Thankyou for supplying our fellow truckers with healthy diets in mind....
B.Great burgers... steak and egg.. got a real steak. And it was beaut! Next time I'm going past and hungry.. I'll be stopping.
M.Great place, unusual Decor, good food, great owners, you've got to visit at least once on your way past, even if you dont drink have a look in the bar, its good for a laugh.
r.Really good people, totally recommend
C.Great kiwi experience. 1st visit will do again. I prefer supporting these guys and other good ole kiwi pubs n taverns than the touristy hotels and motels. Thanks team. Genuine what ya see is what ya get 😀😀
D.Called in for brunch on my way home from a couple of days mahi in Taupo.. Wow awesome meal delish, hosts, staff (and dogs) great people friendly, accommodating just awesome...
They have cabins for rent, great place for long haul drivers, or any drivers actually..
A must stop for sure...
K.Lovely people trying there best to get this place back to what it once was.
Great meals recommended
A.Great place, great staff, great food, awesome camping, thank you
R.Awesome old style country pub , this is what pubs used to be like, with plenty of character, sadly there are very few left these days, the owner Aaron and his family are awesome people, drop in you won't be disappointed, I hear the foods good to. I'm definitely going back everytime I'm over that way.
J.Great food excellent people
M.Very friendly welcoming atmosphere,
The steak burgers were the best I've had in any country, will make sure we stop at this gem again as the food exceeds the price by a mile.
Fresh salad and crisp chips make this a massive winner in anyone's book!
D.The owners were fantastic, they make a killer "Bugger Burger" and made you feel like you're at home.
Not only that but since I was cycling through SH5 towards Taupo, Duncan and Mariam offered to give me a lift the rest of the way! That's 20 out of 10 service right there. If you're passing through definitely stop by.
C.Had brunch here good old pub food, good serving size, value for money plus of course awesome husband wife team, we wish them well for the future with upgrading the Tavern.
G.Dad used to stay there in the 1930's so it is a tradition for me to stop there to. Excellent food and more importantly excellent friendly staff. Don't expect table cloths and napkins or a short break but the best place to stop for a good break on the road. Highly recommended and Loved
R.Great priced food. Amazing burgers 🍔😋 good atmosphere. Easy parking.
G.Great friendly service, and extremely helpful staff. Went out of their way to help us. Also featured some great local history if you check the walls! Thanks again!
j.Awesome friendly place very warm very homely as aregular road controller wrking s/hway 5 Napier/Taupo h/way beautiful food 2 very friendly house trained furry friends owner operators
M.Yes, it's a truck stop. Yes, it's kinda basic. But for a few bucks you get seriously tasty food in Herculean portions. For lunch en route between Napier and Taupo, this is it.
A.Finally called in here and it was a great decision. This place has so much character plus a nice little cafe and was a great representation of pubs of old and may that never change, I will call back as often as possible.
A.In my job I travel to Hawkes Bay a LOT as a business broker. This place has amazing burgers and the staff are super friendly. Very good value to break the journey.
J.Great place for a stop.. Good hearty meals, tea and coffee and nice cold beer
F.Welcoming awesome food good entertainment
G.Stayed there last night,great meal reasonably priced and fantastic owners , very friendly would highly recommend if you need a feed or a bed heading to Napier. 10/10
J.Thank you for our little get away it was great to meet yous all.. Thank yous from me and my family.. We will see you very soon bro
C.Good coffee but nothing gluten free in cabinets clean toilets. Plenty parking
S.Definitely 3 stars. But in a nice way. The proprietor (I think his name is Duncan) is a character. The pies are good. The cooked breakfast was fine. The toilets are clean. There are portables on blocks with beds in them if you need to stay the night.
If you have an electric car, they will let you charge it here (16amp Blue Commando plug) for a few dollars. It's open earlier and later than the Tarawera Cafe, the only other significant stop between Taupo and Napier.
J.Great place to pop in for a bite. Dog friendly place too which is a bonus for us. Friendly people and great service.
j.Probably the best and nicest burgers in nz . Pitty it's not near any town for them
