Al Centro Restaurant with solid rimu tables, exotic wooden panelling and clever lighting exudes warmth and charm. Al Centro is the top licensed restaurant in Taihape, offering great front-of-house service and a well-proven á la carte menu. There is also a cosy lounge area by the bar for customers to relax before, and after, their meal.
But Al Centro Restaurant is more than just the favoured dining place for local townsfolk and farming people. From late morning, it offers a Café–style menu with light lunches and bar services and it operates a small casino. The business also provides in-house catering for weddings, birthdays, social events and Smorgasboard evenings. The owners, with help from local tradespeople, undertook the original fit-out. All the small details are in place like removable partitions to make one large room for functions, stainless steel surfaces, washable kitchen walls, walk-in freezer, walk-in cooler, gas-powered cooking and much more. Al Centro Restaurant is a walk in-walk out cash business with an established clientele and a diverse income stream. It is being offered at a most realistic price by owners who are retiring and the freehold is also available. It would be ideal for a husband and wife partnership who love cooking and presenting good food. And Taihape offers a friendly and affordable life style and a safe environment for the whole family. |

| Taihape, the town that has something for everyone | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Taihape is a country town on State
Highway 1 that services an enormous rural area, principally of sheep,
beef, and deer farms. Plantation forestry is also an important
component to the region.
The town (population between 2000 and 3000 people) offers a relaxed lifestyle where families can enjoy all that is good about New Zealand. Taihape has all the amenities of a large city but with affordable, quality housing ranging from $40,000 to $150,000, good schools, and a hospital. There is lots of clubs and sports for all the family. Pony Clubs are especially popular. |

Tourism is becoming an important new industry for the whole
area. Taihape is world famous for its Gumboot Festivals and now there
is adventure bungy
jumping, fly fishing for enormous brown and rainbow trout,
heli-hunting for deer, river rafting, farm and garden visits.
The town is an important food and petrol stop for travellers from Wellington going to and from the skifields on Mt Ruapehu (45 minutes) and the fishing and boating at Lake Taupo (60 minutes). |
