The decor is very basic and its quite simply a house thats been remodelled into a place for the ravening horde. We went in a large group but the staff were able to handle it well. I (of course, carnivore that I am) ordered the steak, and it was impressive. The meal was delicious, the staff were somewhat attentive and the atmosphere was fun. The prices were a little high to be honest, but everything I saw across the table was of high quality.

I got scrambled eggs on ciabatta with a sausage- cost $14 and was absolutely delicious, good sized serving. Overall is very good, the best part is being able to tailor your dish to your liking

We stopped in for a coffee on our way to explore the region further based on a recommendation from…read moresome local friends. The coffee was great, probably one of the better ones that I've had from the different cafes we tried in the Whanganui/Palmerston North area. I had a soy late (the cafe uses Illy) and the flavour was well rounded and nicely flavoured and the soy milk wasn't over heated which was a blessing. Whilst we didn't have time to stop for long, the Cooperage is open 7 days a week for breakfast and lunch and with the added bonus of being connected to 2 different furniture/homeware stores its a lovely destination for a girls lunch date.
