Find somewhere to eat and drink
The cool thing about Hokitika dining is how it offers a variety of options from simple, down to earth food to a high level of sophistication you might be surprised to find in a small West Coast town. After all, Hokitika prides itself with being a holiday like you used to have...but with better coffee!

We like to say, “Nou gaan ons braai!”—which simply means, “Now we’re going to have a barbecue!” But to us, it’s so much more than that. It’s a declaration of joy, a promise of good times, and a symbol of our positive and welcoming culture.
That spirit of togetherness is what we hope to bring into our shop. We want it to be more than just a place to buy food—we want it to feel like a place where people come to connect, learn, and celebrate.
South Africa is often called the Rainbow Nation—a country of diverse cultures, traditions, and languages. This diversity is beautifully reflected in our cuisine. Whether it’s the bold spices of Cape Malay cooking, the comfort of Afrikaner classics, or the unique snacks that you can’t find anywhere else in the world, South African food is a true celebration of who we are.
In our shop, you’ll find all of these influences come together. We offer beloved cultural staples like vetkoek (our famous fried bread), boerewors (traditional sausage made with a family recipe), and specialties like biltong and droewors, which are cherished by South Africans everywhere. We also import groceries and snacks made only in South Africa—because sometimes, the taste of home is the best comfort there.
We are Hokitikas South African Grocery Store, Cafe and Takeaways and we have great coffee!!!
