The Bay House Cafe in Westport, Buller District, New Zealand | A la Carte Restaurants | Cafe Bar

There certainly is something special about The Bay House Cafe in Westport, it?s location on the edge of the Tasman Sea, the wild beauty of the West Coast, New Zealand, and the feeling that you have escaped somewhere totally unique.
Originally built as a family bach by Westports general practitioner Dr Percy Foote in 1929, the Bay House become the Buller Board Riders headquarters and was occupied by the local surfing fraternity from the late sixties up until the early nineties. This was a colourful era for the Bay House with many long time locals refining their sporting and social skills here.
The bach was eventually purchased by one entrepreneurial surfer who was locally a well-reputed baker, rumour has it the surfers used to eat so much of his baking that he decided to start selling it to them, and so The Bay House Cafe was born and established in Westport, West Coast, as a cafe in 1995.
Since it?s infancy The Bay House Cafe has grown into an iconic West Coast restaurant and is home to the West Coast Surf School and Healthwise Naturopathy.
