In short, La Poste is spectacular - you'll have everything you need plus much more, and everything works. If you can't be bothered making your own flat whites, Little Vintage Espresso is a 3- minute walk away with fantastic coffee and food. For dinner, the steaks at the Railway Tavern are only 2 minutes away and great if you want to pass on the well-appointed chef's kitchen. Well done to the hosts, a fine effort in lifting the bar in North Canterbury!!
