Inside Karaka Cafe   Outside Dining at Karaka

Our talented chefs work with fresh produce and ingredients to provide a wide range of menu choices, including Māori-inspired options.

The name is derived from the karaka grove located outside Te Raukura, the name offered to us by our kaumatua Sam Jackson. The karaka grove brings with it a connection to the history and story of our ancestors. It is said that Māori bought the karaka seed on waka as they travelled to settle in Aotearoa, enabling them to harvest the karaka (orange) fruit.
