SPRUCE GOOSE in Lyall Bay is truly a special place. The Spruce started life at Wellington airport as the original NAC domestic terminal and then became the home of the Wellington Aero Club for over 50 years.
After much negotiation and discussion between Wellington Airport and entrepreneur Nick Mills “SPRUCE GOOSE” the café was created.
Situated at the gateway to Wellington Airport which of course for those plane spotters it’s a premium spot to view the runway, along with the most amazing water views there’s no better place to sit and gaze than at SPRUCE GOOSE.

Also a restaurant.
A vision of a place in the suburbs where you can get food, wine and service with the same standards of the city but without the hassles. Philosophy is to use the best seasonal and local produce available. Food is honest and approachable with our focus being on delivering food that simply tastes good! Use free range eggs, bacon, chicken & pork, and ethically sourced proteins throughout our menu. Support local suppliers - fruit from Miramar Fruit, cheese from Zany Zeus, meat from Island Bay Butcher. Everything else we make ourselves. Use only the freshest, seasonal and whenever possible, local produce. Great coffee, superb food and outstanding staff.

“By this stage you may be a little obsessed with the city’s
offerings - so why not extend your trip and pop out to Lyall
Bay to visit the iconic Maranui Cafe (a destination high on the list of all Wellingtonians)?
Here you can forget about time’s constraints and tuck into something scrumptious while gazing out over the beach, which is often filled with surfers attempting to master the waves. Brimming with personality, Maranui has a feel for colour and embraces all things eclectic when it comes to design - even the coffee machine is a sight to behold. Sitting above the Maranui Surf Life Saving Club with a great coffee in hand and staring into the glistening blue distance.
