Barista coffee, a big country feed and a cabinet full of fresh baking, with room for the kids, the dog and every kind of vehicle. Pull in, take a breath, and leave well fed.
"Now, this café is the best place to stop. It's always busy which is a good sign, and the prices here are incredibly affordable."
Set in the heart of Murchison, Beechwoods is the kind of place where the coffee is good, the food is hearty, and nobody minds a carload of kids or muddy boots. Settle in beside the fire, or spread out under the trees.
Whether you have five minutes or an hour, you will get the same thing every time: generous country food and genuine hospitality, made fresh.
Hearty breakfasts, burgers, fish and chips, toasties and salads, next to a cabinet filled daily with savouries, sandwiches, slices, cakes and pastries. Pair it with expertly made coffee, a smoothie, a thick shake or a real fruit ice cream.
"Always stop here for lunch on our way to Nelson. We both enjoyed it all and appreciated the attentive, helpful service. Will definitely be back."
"Stopped for a coffee on our way to Buller Gorge. Great little pit stop with good coffee and loads of lunch options. Cakes and sandwiches looked delicious."
"The pies here are excellent, especially the peppery beef one. We came on a weekday and it was really quiet. Friendly service and pies to die for."
"Hands down the best sausage rolls we've ever had. We stop here every trip for coffee and sausage rolls. Too good to wait for a photo."
"Great place to stop for lunch. Gorgeous, well filled sandwiches, and a good selection of gluten free for my coeliac hubby. Well done."
"Visited for coffee, then came back a week later with a group of 29. Excellent, tasty and plentiful, with staff full of local knowledge."
