Movenpick Princes Wharf is an ice cream shop at 139 Quay St, Hoteo, in Rodney, scooping the Swiss brand's famously cream-rich ice cream, with a 3.9 rating on Google.
A good scoop shop lives or dies by texture: ice cream churned with less air and more cream feels dense and melts slowly, while a light, airy scoop often hints at shortcuts. Ask to taste before you commit; a plain vanilla tells you more about quality than any lineup of novelty flavours, and a fruit sorbet with real depth is another good sign. Premium ice cream is served firmer than soft serve, so on a warm day it pays to find a bench and eat promptly rather than let the scoop turn to soup.
For anyone passing through Hoteo or Rodney, a Quay Street stop for a scoop makes an easy finish to a day out.
