Whakamaru is a hub for our whole community, and Craig & Gail’s café is at the heart of that hub. Serving high quality food and excellent coffee catered by Yellow Seat, Craig & Gail’s operates under a ‘contribute-what-you-can’ model. The model means those who can’t afford to pay can enjoy a koha meal, while those who can afford to contribute will be able to provide kai and companionship to others. Adjoined to Craig & Gail’s Café are a number of other key services, including free internal showers and laundry service, which is available to anyone, and an external 24/7 shower and toilet
