Welcome to New Zealand at its Best


Organic Explorer has carved out a name for itself as a comprehensive resource for travellers seeking eco-friendly experiences in New Zealand.

Through its website and travel guides, it has provided travellers with an abundance of information about everything from organic cafe's and eco-lodges to nature tourism and Maori cultural experiences.

But Organic Explorer’s efforts have gone further than just informing travellers about the variety of eco-friendly experiences available in New Zealand. It has also helped raise international awareness of New Zealand as a visitor destination.

Eco-tourism experiences feature on many international visitors’ holiday plans and that will only increase Organic Explorer’s relevance to visitors and local eco-tourism businesses.

Recently moved to Hastings, went there because of earlier comments - boring cabinet food selection and boring atmosphere - very basic decor...Johns bakery has more to offer all round. Coffee had an oily residue in it as if my cup was not clean!!!

Dito to Tina's comments. I love their Chai and it has a lot less sugar than the commercial bottled flavoured stuff. Their vegetarian food is exceptional. Child friendly with a lovely atmosphere. KUDO'S to the owners adn staff.

Wow I LOVE this cafe, the chai is to die for (made from real ingredients, not out of a bottle) and the service provides a personal touch unseen these days. A good selection of delicious counter food or menu. My fave cafe in the Hawkes Bay!!!
