Where Every Meal Feels Like A Highlight

Written By Kim Manunui

No matter the craving or occasion, Taupo’s four signature venues dish out delicious moments for everyone.

Settle into the sun-drenched deck at Finn’s, a traditional Irish pub that mixes gastropub fare with live music and big‑screen sports. A warm atmosphere with a creative and inviting décor welcomes families, while inventive dishes accompany pub classics and a kid‑friendly menu. Daily specials, a generous tap list and a heated beer garden make it a go‑to for groups seeking good food and lively entertainment.


Vine blends Mediterranean and New Zealand flavours in a classy‑casual setting. An extensive tapas menu designed to be shared pairs beautifully with an a‑la‑carte option for more traditional diners. Coffee by Allpress and a bar specialising in cocktails, craft beer and a huge wine cellar meets a relaxing atmosphere with fireside seating and outdoor leaners. With plenty of room to cater within, Vine is also perfect for those celebrations or groups that want to indulge in the best.


With a “local coffee redefined” ethos, Café Baku marries classic café comfort with modern elegance and spectacular lake and mountain views. Born from European café culture, it’s a haven for brunch enthusiasts and a prime central meeting point often praised for its warm atmosphere, vegetarian and gluten‑free options, smoothies and extensive menu. Generous portions, crispy pastries and friendly service make this breakfast‑and‑lunch spot ideal for leisurely brunches or quick bites by the water.


Founded by those that know a good meal, Jimmy Coops offers a wide selection of unique beers on nine taps. Guests pair Lakeman craft brews with gourmet burgers, toasties and hot dawgs, while enjoying outdoor seating and scenic lakeside views. Known and loved for the creative burgers, cocktails and Lakeman beers, Jimmy Coop’s provides excellent service with an energetic atmosphere. A most lively hangout for beer enthusiasts, families and groups craving hearty street‑food‑style fare.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.
