Carefully crafted atmosphere ----- casual yet confident ------- with one of the best visual design presentations of its type in NZ both inside and out ( flowers on every table ------- clever curated rewilding planter boxes outside ----- vibrant window boxes etc ------- we salute you! ) A comprehensive menu with a number of 'global' inclusions result in meals being flavourful and well presented -------- a hiccup with the quality of the 'open steak sandwich ' will no doubt soon be expertly corrected The creation of the delights in the 'sweet treat' display cabinet is deserving of a medal (to the extent a local luxury food store asks Lily Pad to supply them) Service throughout our visit was equally impressive! Lily Pad stands out as an example of 'Best in class' and although situated slightly out of town this only enhances its countryside appeal and every effort should be made to visit!

Good food, great atmosphere. Had an unusual experience with waitress making a mistake with the order, and then forcing us to have the wrong dish, because "it's already in the fryer, you see".

Great service with a smile, great young lad served us and took away our dishes, awesome 10/10. Nice surroundings. Lily pad people saying hello when passing. Nice to be included and not forgotten once you have paid. Would definitely have a return visit.

I popped out the lily pad cafe, after I did a Google search for a cafe. The staff were so friendly, helpful and engaging. I tried something a little different that I've never tried before, a hot chocolate with a caramel shot. So good. The food was a great size, for the price, well presented and yummy. Thank you for an enjoyable morning. Well done to all staff. Thank you again Kind regards Lisa
