"At the beginning of the Wainui Falls track, by the car park, there is a small cafe called Palmville. A delightful little place just off the car park, set back amongst the trees. Here you will find a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle. A good place to sit and enjoy a coffee while listening to the sounds of the native birds as they flutter from tree to tree. Why not enjoy one of the many delights the cafe has to offer such as a piece of mouth watering Carrot Cake. No need to worry about the little biting bugs as the cafe have complementary bug spray if you should require it."
