Duck Creek Cafe

Duck Creek opened its doors in December 2010 and re-joined the local Pauatahanui community under new management and ownership from its predecessor Rushes. Situated amongst the beautiful scenery of the Pauatahanui Inlet and close to the neighbouring inlet walkways Duck Creek is an ideal spot to relax and take in the natural beauty of the inlet, its surroundings and local wildlife.
Named after a sawmill nearby dating back to the 1800’s Duck Creek has kept its rustic charm since being ‘opened, lightened and brightened’. The original log cabin look has remained with a new bar area and doors opening onto the deck and lawn areas where children are able to run around and play.
We can comfortably seat up to 60 guests in our main restaurant and 100 guests in a cocktail setting. A private room is available offering a more intimate venue for up to 15 seated guests.
