Okere falls goodness….
At Syrup we think that anyone travelling state highway 33 towards Rotorua should make Okere Falls Store – on the shores of Lake Rotoiti – a compulsory stop. This delightful gourmet haven serves beautiful fresh food, great coffee from Hamilton roasters Rocket and has an incredible range of delicatessen products and some pretty funky branded t-shirts too.
Like Syrup, Okere Falls Store is keen to support local producers and sell fabulous products drawn from all around New Zealand. Here are just a few of the goodies we spotted:
Schoc chocolate – Greytown, St Andrews Limes – Featherston, Kaimai Cheese – Waharoa, Croucher Beer – Rotorua, Village Press Olive Oil – Hawkes Bay, Little Boy Sausages – Te Aroha, Aromatics range of condiments – Hastings, T leaf tea – Petone.
So whether its a tasty ‘Better Quality’ pie (local Rotorua brand ), some wonderful gourmet cheeses or a top of the range olive oil, make Okere Falls Store your first port of call!
