The Cider Factorie

A lovely location, friendly helpful staff, delicious, delicious drinks...Grab a paddle to sample their delights, order some food & enjoy or just go for the mojito cider, you won't regret it!

The Cider Factorie has a variety of ciders and an excellent view to enjoy them from. The flight price is reasonable. It is an excellent place to spend some time catching up with friends. The ciders themselves were good for people new to cider or looking for something easy to drink. There wasn't much in the way of novel/uncommon ingredients when we tried our flight. That could be different during other seasons.Navigating to the factorie was easy due to all of the helpful signs.

Nice selection of ciders and a beautiful view. Their opening times didn't match the ones posted so we thought we missed them one day and the day after we waited around for an hour before as we really wanted to visit them. Service could be better, we didn't feel particularly welcome when we arrived.They allow dogs outside which was very nice.

We have been there several times and all of the food was delicious and generous quantities. The cider selection was also excellent.

The tasting trays are great - I especially like you can choose your own mix of 4 ciders. The hop was my highlight! The food is good too. The view is pretty spectacular so definitely worth stopping in for lunch or for a tasting!

Nice afternoon out sampling a paddle of cider. The food was good. The staff were friendly and looked like they enjoyed working there.

We went there for some lunch and cider tasting. The cider was good but not special. Coming to the food. It arrived more than an hour after order !!! There was no one coming in the meantime asking or telling is anything about the delay. When it came it was disappointing. Some food came 15 min before the other and the last plate came even later. The quality was below bar food and to expensive for the quality and size ( served on small breakfast plates) . All in all a disappointing lunch experience.Second visit: totally different experience. The dry ciders we had where fabulous. The burgers just great. Happy we came again and had a nice stay with great food. Thanks to the team.

Cool small cider brewery out in the countryside with awesome views of the estuary and countryside, and mountains in the background. The tasting paddles are great for trying out the selection of 12+ ciders on tap. The food was delicious especially the pan fried prawns, Japanese friend chicken and truffle fries.Great way to spend the afternoon.

Great little spot out back of Te Puna. Great range of different Ciders and food accommodates the drinks well. Would great spot to have drinks on a sunny afternoon.
