Hospitality
The hospitality in Rakaia is second to none. The locals are friendly and welcoming. The town has two pubs and hearty meals along with Indian takeaways and a fish n chip shop with divine burgers. If you are in a hurry, stop by the Mobil for ready-to-go takeaways available on the fly.
But if it is a good coffee you are after you can’t go past Salmon Tales Cafe or the Little Red Cafe. While at each of the two cafe’s take a look around the Rakaia Country Arts store and the Little Red Cafe Gift Shop.
