Ohangai

I had the pleasure of dining at the Ohangai restaurant while holidaying in Hawera. The venue is only a short 10 minute picturesque drive out of the town. I was lucky enough to catch the sun setting over the mountain as most tables have views which was stunning.I had the goats cheese mousse to start then Pork Belly for main which was sublime and full of flavour. I couldn’t help myself and had the choc plate dessert to finish.Meals are generous sizes and I don’t think you can go wrong with any dish.Wait staff were extremely friendly and provided great service.I highly recommend the Ohangai Restaurant for dinner or Sunday brunch.

Perfect experience, food, views and service was all absolutely incredible. Had our wedding here and had many guests coming up to us to gush over how amazing the venue and the food was. Helen and her team made the whole day run so smoothly. The only problem we face is that we won't be getting married again so we will have to hold onto our magically memories instead!

Beautiful food, venue and service. Thank you for a lovely day.

Fantastic venue. Catering was outstanding - food top class and service was excellent. A most enjoyable night.

Ohanagi was a fantastic wedding venue. Finding Ohangai for our wedding was such a relief. On my first call to Helen, she explained how the venue was all-inclusive (bar the centrepieces, cake and photographer)... they pretty much take care of everything. One set price for the venue, staff, tables, glassware etc. Ohangai was also very flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. It's located just out of Hawera and is a beautiful setting in all weather conditions. The food was delicious, and the bar had great variety and barista coffee. Helen is also a wedding planner.. she asked questions about different events throughout the day that I had never considered. This went a long way in helping the day run smoothly. Helen's professionalism and in-depth knowledge of weddings was invaluable. I highly recommend Ohangai as a venue for the wedding and reception. I wouldn't want to organise a wedding any other way!

Very nice venue. Food is great, menu could be upgraded from a loose piece of paper. Did not suite the aesthetics.Quite expensive. $200+ for 2 adults and 3 kids.Service needs improvement. The older waitress (i think owner), was preoccupied chatting with another table she obviously knew and forgot our second round of drinks

Most amazing catering service that exceeded all our expectations! The process was easy and Helen ensured that we were well catered for. Excellent quality and service. Highly recommended!!!

This place is set apart from other venues. It is a great peaceful location beautifully planed and stunningly designed. The catering was one of the best I've had and they have friendly staff. There is a licenced bar, plenty of space and good parking. Perfect place for any event you have planned.Also the history of the venue is very fascinating too. It is actually the old Ohangai School.

Absolutely the ideal venue for anything from the likes of a business presentation/wānanga with the loveliest lunch I've had at such an occasion for years.Parking, acoustics, staff hosptality, food, lollies & water, warm venue on a winters day....all made the presenters roll smooth and appreciated.Ohangai provides for any manner of events and with arguably Taranaki kī tē tōnga best view of Manunga Taranaki from every dining position, it's the place to be/go......
