Pro
If you like Anitques, Collectibles, and Crafts come to Cambridge... there is always some Market or fair on.
Con
Could do with a few more restaurants but it is only a small town after all.
In a nutshell
Great little place and always humming...
The Lily Pad Café: Country Café and Art
kiwi Says: It's a short drive out of Cambridge into the more rural area to find The LilyPad Café, but well worth the effort.The setting is made more interesting with the inclusion of garden art and an art shop in the grounds. Staff are friendly, the feeling is warm and interesting and...
Fran's Cafe: A bit of olde world charm with Modern food
shelnlin Says: Fran's Cafe is a delight to visit and many a visitor will be instantly attracted to the many different Tea pots (not for sale) that are on display in her Coffee shop. The atmosphere is relaxed and guests can enjoy a delicous lunch which can be anything from a Thai beef Salad...
Cambridge Raceway: Good Old Trots
shelnlin Says: Cambridge is well known for it's Horse stud farms and many a good thoroughbred has been born here. Remember that beautiful horse Charisma who was ridden by New Zealander Mark Todd in the 1984 Olympic Games?? Well both the horse and rider come from here. If you enjoy a bit of...
GelatAmore: Do you love Specialty Icecreams?
kiwi Says: My favourite flavours are:TiramisuPistachioLemon SorbetBut there are so many flavours to choose from, there must be something for you.Sorbet is a great option if you can't eat icecream. $2.90 to $5.00 for most normal sized waffle cones.
Cambridge Country Store: The Pink Church of Cambridge
shelnlin Says: Cambridge Country Store is one of the first things that you will see when you come into the town from Hamilton. It stands out from many of the other buildings because it used to be a church and it is also very pink. Downstairs you will find a collection of local and NZ wide...
English Charm found in Cambridge
shelnlin Says: Cambridge is known for it's Antique shops. These shops are all just as good as each other and they all have the most beautiful things inside from Furniture to Jewellery, Books to Paintings. There is a bit of Englishness to this town and it is quite appealling to many a...
Jacobs Gallery: Giftware and more
Kate-Me Says: This gift/homewares shop was very well stocked, and had many interesting and different items I hadn't come across in our first few days of the holiday. There were t-towels, NZ products like specialty soaps, homewares, jewellery and more. I found the simple design (ie not...
Kate-Me Says: We decided to visit Colonial Antiques mainly because the building was attractive, and it was pouring with rain, but once inside, there is something to interest everyone, from crockery/china, old books and much more.
Victoria Street Markets: The Good Ole Street Markets
shelnlin Says: Once every three weeks the Cambridge Lions Club put on a great Street market which is held on Victoria Street. It is a brilliant way to enjoy a Sunday and a good excuse to get out of bed early to look for lots of little finds. Many of the items for sale at the Street market...
Heritage Gallery: Fine Art, souvenirs and jewellery of NZ
kiwi Says: This gallery has available some very tasteful art and souvenirs. From paintings to pottery, carvings and sculptures, there is something for everyone. I would like to mention in particular the very nice handmade jewellery here, of which I have bought some and am very please...
Cambridge Country Store: NZ art etc on the main road.
kiwi Says: Here you find a very nice café, Internet Access and Tax Free Shopping for travellers. And the craft shop sells very tasteful and high quality New Zealand art and crafts. These fine NZ crafts are at the top end of the price scale for such things, but the quality is very good...
shelnlin Says: Cambridge, like most places in New Zealand is pretty welll equipped with most things. Depending on your stay, I would say that one large suitcase and a day pack is all that you would need. I have just come back to Cambridge after spending the last few years in Saudi Arabia....
Kate-Me Says: This rather attractive building in Cambridge is actually a toilet! Most buildings in NZ are very well kept, but this was even more out of the ordinary!This is a user pays Super Loo. Super Loos seem to be a bit of a NZ institution - I noticed them in several different towns...
Kate-Me Says: This mural in the main street was a nice touch, on the side of a building, depicting a Maori scene. I enjoyed the mural, which brightened up the street on a dull day as this one sure was.
