The Aston Norwood Cafe is great place to stop on your way down to Wellington, especially in spring (late September, early October) as the place comes alive with over 400 cherry blossom trees in full bloom at that time. Enjoy a hot drink and yummy pastries at this Japanese-style location before taking the road again.
