ワイピアタ カントリー ホテル(Waipiata Country Hotel)

You walk in and greeted by a warm and old style country pub. It took a minute to get our bearings, but once we found a table, the food was amazing the service friendly. We had the steak and cheese pie with vege and mash, chicken burger, beef burger, and steak sandwich. All were generous and tasty. We were doing the rail trail, this was the best food on the trip by a country mile.

Delicious food and great service - despite being incredibly busy the night we visited. Our meals were generous, and they good range of beers on tap. The staff were helpful and ensured our meals catered for our dietary requirements. Totally recommend this place!

3 of us tried their pies, steak and cheese and steak and blue cheese. Now you would imagine that in a steak and cheese pie there would be two specific tastes, steak and cheese. Thats where you are wrong, none of could taste the cheese in either of their pies. We ended up taking the top offr to check and saw a small amount of cheese but not enough to taste as it was overpowered by everything else. The meat, sauce and pastry were good but it ended up being a plain LARGE meat pie. I couldnt rate this pie any better as there was no cheese to taste and thats whats it is sold as. Ne needs to stop being stingy and be more generous with his cheese.

We were with a private driver who knew of this cafe, so we headed here on our way to Dunedin. It appears as if it is popular with bikers, as it was fairly busy for the time we were there, and the feel of it was very casual New Zealand. We had never had a meat pie, so we decided to try them - one beef and blue cheese and one venison. Another person in our party had the lamb shanks with mash and veggies. Outstanding all around. We would go back in a heartbeat!

A great place for a feed, very good ‘pub grub’ with a friendly staff and great ambience. We would recommend it to travelers and bike riders as a good place to refuel. It is in near original condition and has a real charm to it. It’s a great place with real character.

Good country pub. Nice food, which is not over priced. a nice tange of meals and snaxks. Good range of drinks. A mixture of locals and tourists/cyclists. Most important: friendly welcoming staff. Great place to sit outside and appreciate the view.

Great location - fantastic food and the pies are amazing! it was a busy night but the staff were friendly and the service was excellent, we will be back to this quintessential central otago establishment.

We were a family of four, we all had very nice meals and was very affordable, Staff were very welcoming and friendly. We have been a few other times and have never been disappointed, and of course we will certainly be going back as often as we can get up that way.
