One of the benefits of our job is that we get to deal with people from every sort of industry out there.

Recently, I was passing through Cromwell and decided to stop off and visit one of our clients who run the Nichols Garden Cafe in Cromwell.

As luck would have it the owners, Alan and Louise were having a day off but I caught up with three staff members who were all happy to chat with me.

The friendly staff at Nichols Garden Cafe, from left to right are Michelle, Christine and Rebekah.

Some of the great food selection available.

So if you are heading towards Queenstown from Christchurch or Alexandra, you will find Nichols Garden Cafe on the left (part of Nichols Garden Centre) just before you turn left (after passing the town) for Queenstown.
