Things to do in Te Kuiti

  1. Bosco Cafe

    It’s not damning it with faint praise to say that Bosco is the coolest place in Te Kuiti. This excellent industrial-chic cafe offers great coffee, tempting food (try the spinach, feta and pine-nut tart) and sweet service. It comes into its own on a sunny afternoon when the doors swing open onto Brook Park.

  2. Riverside Lodge

    On the riverbank just off King St, this family-friendly bar and bistro serves excellent shellfish, substantial pub meals or mini pizzas for a filling snack ($9). There are a couple of pool tables and the Eagles’ ‘Lyin’ Eyes’ on the juke.
