Jester House Café, in Tasman District at 320 Aporo Road, is open Fridays from 10am to 5pm, serving brunch, morning and afternoon tea, and lunch, including its regular pan-fried fish. Founded in 1991 by Judy and Steve Richards, the café is set in gardens with tame eels and includes The Boot, an on-site bed and breakfast cottage.
Fantastic place, food and people. I had the pan fried fish which was perfectly cooked. Jesters is one of those special places that people should experience at least once in their lives!

Jester House is a must visit destination. The owners have made a magical wonderland for children to explore as well as an opportunity to feed eels and enjoy delicious food. Hats off to them!

Happy spot. Nice food in interesting surroundings. Suitable for all ages . A treat only available on Fridays. Gardens lovely and food perfect. Selection of wine beers and no alcoholic beverages as well. Eels are coming out of winter sleep now. Accommodation available in a 👢. Lots of fun.

One of the most interesting venues in the Tasman Regions. There are all sorts of interesting things on the grounds of the restaurant. The food is great. They're only open one day a week. I'm sure they have their reasons. There are Eels in the stream which are just awesome. You need to go there if you can get there on Friday. Whoo hoo.

Nice place, especially for family with small kids. Plenty of attractions for children in the gardens, on top of it you can feed eels. Kids really enjoyed it.
