The Hole In One café · open daily

Great coffee, lake views.

We pour proper barista made Halo Coffee right on the Taupō lakefront, alongside a full cabinet of fresh kai, cold drinks and Little Lato Gelato.

Pull up a deck chair.

The on-site café.

Right on the water’s edge, our café provides tasty coffees, cabinet food and front-row views of the action. Settle in at a table, watch the shots fly across Lake Taupō, or swing by for something fresh before you head back into town.

We scoop Little Lato Gelato, serve a fresh cabinet of kai, and keep the cold drinks coming for sunny lakefront days. With heaters, wind blinds and a sheltered deck, it’s an all-weather spot to sit back and enjoy the view. You don’t need to play to visit, just wander in, grab a seat, and make yourself at home on the deck.
