Tauwhare Berry Farm

Friendly staff, clean, can pick strawberries while standing....don't need bending, which is convenient for elderly people. Great day out for picnic, also has a playground for children.

Great for PYOIce cream has gone down hill though with a gross banana undertone in our boysenberry frozen yogurt. Very upsetting, I would recommend you go elsewhere if you want a good frozen treat.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but this evening after a long day, I went to Fresh Choice at Half Moon Bay and bought two punnets of your raspberries for $7.00 each, thinking a treat would be nice. I got home and opened both punnets to find the berries in the centre we're mouldy and I had to throw them away. At least 10 of the berries were inedible and the remainder are okay, but mushy. I won't be buying any more, after this experience. Perhaps this is something you personally need to bring up with the supermarket. But it's your product and I'm not sure who's at fault here. Your product, your reputation.

Cheaper fresh berry ice cream than other nearby farms. Friendly service.Love that the tables are under grape vines.

Fresh fruit icelcreams are good value compared to most other fruit icecream places. Well shaded seating on hot sunny days.If we had children with us then I think that they would enjoy the berries and icecreams just as much as us.

It was a ok experience but the places is pretty untidy in areas. The kids playground is broken in several areas, kids swings all broken. The orchids where the berrys are all very overgrown in places (just need a weed eater) our kids couldn’t make it down some of the paths. And lastly very confused why we were overcharged? Look at the receipt its very confusing! (Attached)

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with the kids, beautiful hot summers day. The staff are very friendly and helpful, got there at the right time, as got very busy after we arrived. Pick you own strawberries and raspberries, or you can just buy from the shop. $5 per person and you pay a kilo rate, but you can eat fruit as you’re going around. Probably cheaper to just buy the fruit, but good for something to go with the kids occasionally. There’s a shop where you can buy the fruit as well as other vegetables, blueberries etc. A lot cheaper buying from here then the supermarket and hugely better quality then the supermarket. There is also handmade ice cream and coffee.

Love the place. Kids have so much fun with strawberry. Friendly staff and yummy ice cream. Lovely bamboo playground for kids to chill. Abit of driving from Auckland, but worth the drive.
