Road Trip Pit Stop: Red Post Cafe


Road tripping north of Christchurch? Fancy a quick pit stop?

Located in the small town of Culverden, just 30 minutes outside of Hanmer Springs, Red Post Cafe has all the offerings your heart desires.

With a rich history, the building itself has been around since the 1920s, accommodating various businesses throughout its lifetime. Trent and Carolyn Allison have owned the homey and picturesque café in its current form for the past 16 years.

“We have weathered various storms, from Mother Nature, to health, to economic, during this time,” says Trent. “Over the past 16 years we have refined the offerings and service into what it is today.” As we head into the warmer months, the garden courtyard is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee, a quick snack or brunch with the whole family. This relaxed and inviting atmosphere is like no other, with the fantastic customer service accompanying the delicious food and drink available.

From coffee to a range of cabinet foods including homemade cakes and slices, the wide selection at Red Post Cafe is popular with locals and travellers alike. Trent says that their all day breakfast menu featuring a brekkie bagel and salmon souffle is the most popular. “Customers are always asking for them and we regularly are selling out by the time 10am rolls around,” he laughs.

If you’re in the area, look out for Red Post Cafe.
