The Smokehouse Cafe is a unique experience located just off the Coastal Highway on the old Mapua Wharf looking over the Waimea Estuary - the largest estuary in the South Island. The Smokehouse is nestled between three national parks, boutique wineries, fine artists and beautiful beaches - the 'Jewel in the Crown'.
The Smokehouse experience is based on the concept of delicately hot smoking local products using traditional brick kilns and natural manuka shavings - enjoy in our award winning cafe or choose from the amazing variety in our deli.

Comments / Reviews of The Smokehouse Cafe
I agree with Wifey, this place is great. Great food, great views and great staff. I went for the "Macs Gold beer batter fish and chips" and they were really really good. The beer batter was thin and really crisp, and the fish was moist and flaky inside. Also the presentation was extremely cool too!
I went to lunch at The Smokehouse Cafe just the other day for the first time and have to say I was highly impressed. The cafe itself has a really great feel and the views are just beautiful. The cafe is actually perched over the water. I was with a group of four and everyone was completely delighted with their meals. I had the tuna and salmon sake sashimi which was utterly divine. Visit The Smokehouse Cafe next time you are in Mapua, and you'll see why they have won so many awards. Two thumbs up!
