    There were signs up everywhere explaining the toilet situation - basically said that because the laws that were around when the place was built meant they didn't need toilets for punters, they didn't have any, and that if you disagreed with this, you could find another place to eat/piss.

    The lady was grumpy when a bunch of other bikers huddled round the fire trying to dry their gloves etc, say they were hogging all the heat and so on.

    AND, to make matters worse, that place has BY FAR, the worst coffee I have ever had. No joke. it was terrible!

    If i stop there again on my way to Napier , It'll be to piss on their door.
    Hahahahaha... that was us. Did you have a good run through? We got even wetter heading toward Napier!

    That couple certainly didn't look too impressed with us did they?

    Indeed - pity I wasn't interested in staying to chat, another cafe maybe.

    I don't think I'll be doing that run again for sometime anyho, I have no business in Napier.

    That's a shame - we'd love to meet you, we have wonderful riding roads, and a good reputation cafe-wise...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Presumably you're talking about veal sausages. Veal comes from young cattle, not deer. It is a form of beef, not venison (venison is a term used to describe deer meat). I'd hate to think you were missing out on a rewarding protein experience because of some Bambi fetish.

    Venison, they were venison sausages.

    Didn't like the sound of eating bambi, so I've yet to try it.

    Plus at at cruel $4 a pop or something they were far too expensive.

    sounds like this guy has enough money to be an asswipe, power to him.


    If he wants the bussiness to be a success however, he must be more retarded than I am. I have a low IQ but I know a thing or two about basic customer service. Its simple (like me ) don't piss the customers off, paying or otherwise.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    This place really sounds like it needs a length of chain padlocked across the entranceway. They obviously do not require customers.

    Sounds like this cafe has a major waste water storage issue. Probably on small holding tanks, and costing heaps for regular disposal.
    No excuse for them to take it out on joe public.

    Oooo I remember the Rangitaiki place... Dad stopped in there once coz I was absolutely busting!! Like, there was no way I could hold on any longer. We got in there and there was no one to be seen in there but a few locals at the bar drinking. Dad asked where the toilet was, and one of them replied "You may have to buy some peanuts so you'll be allowed, he's a real idiot when it comes to using the toilet" - then the owner came out. I was dancing by this point, and he said, "I don't allow anyone to use the toilet unless they purchase something" to which Dad replied, "We have toilet paper in the car if you want her to use that" I gave him the best lil puppy dog look I could, and he gave in, but muttered "not again" ... so we have never been back!! Stuff it!

    I'd still like to know which side of the road this place is...there is a cafe on the left (coming from Taupo) and nearish is a Tui pub/cafe on the right.
