Jack's Gasthof Pizzeria & Bar, Little Totara River
Our special recommendation for somewhere really different, inexpensive and just 2 minutes drive
from the house, make sure you visit Jack & Petra at their tiny rural eatery and experience a
truly unique cafe and bar. No website link available to Jack's but you can book on 789 6501. They tend to close over the winter months so it pays to call ahead.
